[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1060031, member: 92939"] 1. Good. UAC is very useful for preventing changes to Windows made by yourself or by malware. 2. If you’re using Bitdefender, keep Bitdefender’s firewall. Just update your topic by selecting that your security suite includes a firewall. 3. No, it’s not a VPN! A secure DNS will prevent your internet service provider from reading your DNS queries. This adds privacy, and some DNS servers can also protect you from phishing or block ads. I recommend NextDNS, Cloudflare, or Quad9. 4. It’s a choice, but I still recommend a password manager that can generate secure passwords for you. Bitwarden is a reliable option. 5. Nothing to do with cryptography. Backing up your OS or your data is always strongly recommended, especially if you ever fall victim to a Ransomware CryptoLocker attack or experience a hard drive failure. There are free utilities like Aomei or Macrium Reflect for this purpose. [/QUOTE]
