[QUOTE="Ink, post: 746258, member: 3"] Free tier users may want to avoid Malwarebytes with it's semi-bloated Premium features. Unless you need it, it's up to you, but I don't believe in any real-time complimentary scanners, so Immunet is out too. Unchecky can prevent unwanted apps from popular and free installers. It's Adware protection without a scanner. If even needed, ESET Online Scanner is decent tool for scanning and removal. An active Internet connection is required, but it's completely free to download and use. Pin to taskbar so you don't lose the shortcut. Optional to uninstall after use. [USER=37647]@shmu26[/USER] HitmanPro.Alert might trigger a Blue Screen error, at least that was the first one I experienced on Windows 10, ever. The latest OS version has Exploit Protection.. of sorts. [B]Don't forget Backup as a native defence:[/B] [LIST] [*]Let Windows create a Recovery disk (or ISO) for USB [*]Create a system image at [intervals] with Macrium Reflect Free/Paid, or software of choice. [*]Offline backups onto USB portable HDD or Flash disk. [*]Data sync with preferred cloud storage solution. [/LIST] Everything else has been mentioned by [USER=53544]@RoboMan[/USER] and [USER=37647]@shmu26[/USER] above. [USER=54678]@Gheart[/USER] Once you have figured everything out, you can share you set-up under [URL='https://malwaretips.com/forums/pc-security-configuration.12/']PC Security Configuration[/URL] [/QUOTE]
