4/4 layers are covered:
  • Backup: Onedrive & Dropbox
  • Realtime & other: Kaspersky
  • Firewall: N/A (but you have one)
  • Web browser: Adguard

My advice:
  • Please put down the current version of Kaspersky AV
  • Please state which Firewall you have
  • Add Scriptsafe to web browser
  • Add ZAM Free as on demand scanner

Thanks for sharing.

@sims0921:
  • Follow suggestions about Image System BAckup Solution: Macrium Reflect Free o AOMEI Bakcupper, both free and reliable. Windows Backup system seems not so reliable (some complanits of users in forums, is broken).
  • If You are using KAV, I would pair it with NoVirusThanks OSA, since KAV does not have Application Control.
  • Also KAV does not have FireWall, so which is the 3rd party FireWall or using Windows FW?.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome.
  • For Virus and Malware Removal Tools, I would ZAM Free and HitMan Pro Free.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, hanks for sharing :giggle:
