@stepseven84 : please kindly consider:
- Please specify the exact version of security product (F-Secure).
- As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free.
- As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service.
- A PassWord Manager would be welcome also. If You don't like cloud/online password You may use KeePass.
- Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here.
Thanks for the suggestions harlan, I have F-Secure SAFE antivirus latest version (just updated). I like ZAM but I would want to see a new version soon; I saw on the website the latest version is of last year.@stepseven84 : please kindly consider:

Thinking about adding a paid VPN like Cyberghost or Windscribe.
I will look for a password manager (not too complicated for me
)
Please kindly specify (editing the field) the number version
Although the last version of ZAM has not been updated for long, still is good for detecting adware and others types of malwares, also for cleaning systems...

I see you use also Sandboxie as me i can offer you use this tips ssj100's Security Setup
which help you a bit hardering your sandboxie containers.
Tools which you can like
osarmor and Syshardener
you can use yet use OO ShutpUP10 for disable easy most telemetry and onther not necressary function.
or use this guide Windows 10 Privacy Guide - Spring Creators Update but be carefull can harm your system better do backup before you start pratice it.

Agreed. @stepseven84 please heed this advice well if you go this route! You may see the problems people encountered posted in the "comments" section on that same site.
Cuz mostly ppl something miss or bad placed it and you need be sure dont delete fuction which you use/need

Ok guys, some tips are too complicated for me but I added O&O Shutup to mitigate telemetry and useless stuff.
Great software, I see that it has a rollback function, but for greater peace of mind, I made a system image using Macrium.
However, no problem so far

Hi @stepseven84
You have a very good setup! As others have already said you have all your bases covered, there's no need to go add things your aren't comfortable with As long as you practice safe surfing habits you will be safe. Keep in mind practicing unsafe habits, will get you infected no matter what program/setup you use.

Keep in mind practicing unsafe habits, will get you infected no matter what program/setup you use.PS: fellow members, I'm not trying to be preachy or anything, but just wanted to highlight a very important line from the OP. When making suggestions please try to keep in mind that not everyone may be able to do what you are suggesting, nor even need it, as it may cause unnecessary confusion and be too overwhelming to them. @stepseven84 this is not directed at you at all, please do not feel like you are stupid or anything because you aren't. There are some concepts that can get very technical and many can get lost very easily. As I mentioned above, you are covered very well, don't feel pressured into adding/changing things you aren't conformable with. There's tons of great info here don't be shy to learn and ask questionsOk guys, some tips are too complicated for me but I added O&O Shutup to mitigate telemetry and useless stuff.
