[QUOTE="silver0190, post: 1062585, member: 104323"] Hi everyone, I've made some slight changes. I actually did a complete formatting, waiting to change my laptop around the Christmas period. - Installation of [B]Windows 10[/B] with the respective updates (unfortunately my computer is too old to accept Windows 11); - Confirmation of [B]Bitdefener Total Security[/B], taking advantage of the 180-day free trial (when I change PC, I will probably switch to Kaspersky Plus); - Confirmation of [B]Malwarebytes[/B] in offline mode to avoid conflicts; - [B]Firefox [/B]confirmed with the addition of [B]uBlock Origin[/B] and [B]Malwarebytes Browser Guard[/B]. - Added [B]Chrome[/B] browser where I installed [B]uBlock Origin[/B], [B]Malwarebytes Browser Guard[/B] and [B]Windscribe VPN[/B] extensions. Windscribe VPN seems to me to be the best free browser VPN of all. Even though I'm not very convinced about VPNs, I could use it in exceptional cases (for example it came in handy for downloading the 180 days version of Bitdefender). Oh, unfortunately I noticed that UBlock Origin no longer works with Youtube, I hope a new version comes out to solve this problem. I don't know if this can make me 100% safe from external attacks, but I think it can be a good starting point. Is it improvable? Probably yes, but I also have to deal with a computer that is no longer very young. At the moment I was thinking of adding some other "portable" anti-malware, light ones that can still make their contribution without weighing down the system. I was also thinking about citgraphy, but I have no experience with that. Is encryption only useful in case of physical theft or also when a hacker has remote access to the device? And if so, by encrypting the disk the hacker has no chance of stealing my data? One important thing: the hardware-level firewall! Unfortunately I have a router-modem assigned by the ISP, so I don't know how effective it can be. Also during the Christmas period I would like to change, I have seen that many speak well of ASUS and FritzBox. These are devices that can cost up to $300, I hope they are excellent shields. [/QUOTE]
