Heya everyone, it's been a while since I updated my security config so I thought that there's no better time than the beginning of the year to do so. I'm always interested in everyone else's configs so I figured I would update mine. Any changes/recommendations are also welcome. Take care members of MT!

@Paul Lee :
UAC: to default.
As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service (if needed).
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, hanks for sharing

All 4 layers are covered.
Web Browser: uBo
Backup: Dropbox
Realtime & other: ESET
Firewall: Default and Glasswire
My advice & other:
Add Scriptsafe to web browser
How are you finding Glasswire? Are you using free or paid?
Disconnect may not be needed whilst you already have uBlock Origin
Thanks for sharing!
