[QUOTE="R2D2, post: 991594, member: 64945"] Hi, Thanks I was hoping for some feedback from more experienced members on here. Now to your queries: a) UAC - Point taken, it's just that I have been experimenting, rather messing with my W11 PC config and got bugged with the UAC prompt so reduced it a notch. b) I use AdGuard on the PCs and laptop, pfBlockerNG keeps the other devices like tabs and mobile phones relatively safe c) I used MBAM Pro as an alternative scanner till KTS bugged me several times to uninstall it and I eventually did. d) I normally use Cloudflare, NextDNS & Google in that order in my pfSense box. e) VPNs - I am always on VPN and select 1 VPN for day.
