Hm, we all have temptations haha. I haven't heard much of Kaspersky, since my company stopped selling it years ago. Is there no benefit to a paid version?

Yeah I just doubled checked it's a 5930K. I'll update it!

My custom PC with EK water loops. Right now here are the specs: Processor - Intel Core i7 5930K (got this from an Intel Retail Edge thing back in 2015) GPU - EVGA 1080 Ti Hydro Copper (this was my last upgrade, in 2017) Motherboard - ASUS Rampage V Extreme RAM - 16gb Vengeance 3000mhz (although...

So I have a free version: Webroot Internet Security Complete 2021 Trend Micro Internet Security + Antivirus 2021 Microsoft Defender (obviously) And I can get 75% off: - Bitdefender Internet Security 2019 Thanks!

I bought this motherboard in 2015 and it came with a support CD. Unfortunately that's gone, and the actually website just lists a bunch of random downloads, some of which aren't even .exe files. So I'm a little lost. I wanna make sure I'm getting all my features

I assume nothing does, but just checking. I have Webroot Complete for my standard account, and have a lot of free licenses and wondered if I should also install Webroot on the admin account, for those very brief times I need to access it.

I apologize, my indecisiveness is seriously ruining my night. I learned and decided to not use my Administrator account. I'll instead use a Standard account (and I wanna link it with my original Microsoft account) My question is: Should the Admin account be converted to local, as in no...

Like I have no desire to have personalized ads and stuff like that. I don't need my mic or webcam enabled by default. The location thing might annoy me unless there are ways to see my location not involving the general setting?

Long story short I built this PC in 2015 and slightly upgraded it in 2017. Since then I haven't added any additional hardware, and I stopped properly replacing the water in the water loop years and years ago. It uses EK parts (water pump/reservoir combo, 1080 Ti Hydro Copper attached...

Thank you! Will do!

Random question but if I had the Location setting disabled by default, why when I boot up does it already know the city I live in?

I’m sitting here on the ‘Choose privacy settings for your device’. Back in the day I’d leave everything on default, but going forward I want to be more secure (getting a VPN and using a password manager after). Any settings I definitely want to turn off? Like sending diagnostics? Or advertising?

Yeah, that's cool. I def have a lot to think about. I like the ideas we all discussed, but a part of me feels like I'm out of my depth, or being overkill. I just can't make up my mind on what to do, and each time I try to find "the best ways to do this or that" a new layer is added.

I apologize for my indecisiveness but damn, I always feel like by going through the "reset the PC" process, by not already having new email clients + Bitwarden, that I've already <Mod Edit> up my great master plan to have everything secure from the get go. But it's probably the OCD in me making...

Okay so it seems RAM with that crazy speed will hit a bottleneck, or the games and apps can't really benefit from it. Honestly, with me either mortgage shopping in a month or 2 (or getting an apartment), I almost certainly will wait a year or so before doing a full replacement. And hey, sounds...
