Advanced Plus Security show-Zi MainPC Configuration 2020

[show-Zi]

This is the main configuration of the PC. Previously, we used a combination of various security software, but due to lack of knowledge that we could use, we decided to limit the introduction of third-party products.
The main concern is more backup than defense. Just in case, we use Windows and Macrium together.

You can install more scanners on demand, such as Hitman Pro and NPE.
I see you well protected.

Admin account as default?

Also set UAC to Always Notify...

Nice setup. Please consider Standard User Account.

@bribon77
I installed Malwarebytes as a second opinion.

@Umbra @harlan4096 @oldschool
Thanks for your suggestions. Perhaps they point out the same thing. The level of UAC has been raised. I tended to downplay UAC because of the strong impression of intervening every time I do something. By the way, in Japan, there are many users who have lowered their level to the UAC minimum. I was also swallowed by that tide.

@show-Zi because you created your own annoyances probably by doing a lot of admin tasks or using tools requiring (legitimately or not) admin privileges.
For example some softs on SUA doesn't requires admin rights when executed, while in admin account, they do.

Remember, UAC is there to restrict auto-elevation (common behavior of many malware) hence execution of process having significant impact on the system.

Admin account is supposed to be used for admin tasks only, not daily use. When using Admin Account, you run in high privileges session which gives any potential malware less difficulties to compromise your system.

I use SUA as my daily account, and unless I run some specific Windows admin tools or programs (backup softs., etc...) I don't get any UAC prompts.

People are too used to use admin accounts even some devs, because in the past MS making the default user account as admin account.

It has given me a fresh start on thinking about admin accounts. I tried it a little with the Default account, but the UAC did not get in the way more than I expected.
It may be wise to migrate to a standard account and use it after completing a full configuration as an administrator after a clean install. We're planning a clean install for the next upgrade, so we'll do that.
Thank you, @Umbra . It was very helpful.
