So far I see only one little annoying thing. Several times a day shows up a pop-up. I interpret it as a relief.

That's why I stopped using KART, it shows a lot of pop ups. I'm using Malwarebytes Anti Ransomware and it is silent and light.

Veeam and Macrium Reflect are your best friends.

True, I wonder why people are still wasting their computer's resources using a standalone Anti-Ransomware product...

What's the advantages of using Macrium Reflect? Because Windows has its own tool to backup OS image.

Windows backup is not very reliable, even Microsoft recommends using something else.

Many ransomware strains have the added ability to delete Windows Volume Shadows, thus trashing the backups. Macrium (paid) will protect Macrium images (Image Guardian) from malware encryption.

I also agree Macrium Image Guardian is a great addition to almost any setup.

Hard Configurator, Config Defender on High, Win Firewall hardened, WiseVector StopX and Aomei backupper. Don't see a need for anything else. Do have Sandboxie but seldom use it.

Is Veeam sort of like Macrium? I noticed they have a free version but it is only cloud based backup software?

No cloud requirement.
