[QUOTE="AMD1, post: 975239, member: 2215"] Hi, Hoping for a bit of assistance. I have recently bought a new PC which came pre-loaded with a trial version of McAfee LiveSafe. I already have a subscription for KSC Personal and Malwarebytes Privacy VPN. KSC Personal and the VPN have just a few months before they need renewing. Would your opinion be to re-install the subscribed products and renew them when near to the expiry dates or perhaps revert to Windows Firewall and Defender as these seem to offer better protection these days, or configure something completely different? I also have Voodooshield Pro but not installed at this time and Malwarebytes Premium, again not installed at this time. If it helps my PC online activity is generally browsing, shopping and banking. The other thing is that I run Win 11 Pro and have Bitlocker enabled on the C operating system drive. I also have two other external HDD's one labelled as Data which has my OneDrive containing documents, pictures, desktop etc and the other labelled Backup which contains my Macrium Reflect backups, all of which are password protected and Image Guardian enabled. I have Bitlocker enabled to auto unlock the Data drive but should I also have Bitlocker enabled on the Backup drive ? Any help/guidance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks Andy [/QUOTE]
