Let's talk computer security in this thread. What do you use? What do you recomend?
I stick to the old trustworthy malwarebytes. Amd recently stumbled upon this. Heimdal thoughts on it?
I watch Matthew Knight videos for all my cancer needs

I have malwarebytes in case I do something stupid, and in the event that I REALLY fuck up, I have everything neatly backed up and ready to restore

I really need to start making backups and storing it on a harddrive. That's where I fuck myself.

I believe in security through isolation. Due to the current state of technology you cannot avoid using dangerous closed source software and habits. However It's upto you how seriously you are going to take your security.
Furthermore Privacy and Security althouh being correlated, are completely different thing. Sometimes you actually want your privacy to be breached to a certain extent to be secure from malicious attackers.
Here are my security advices:
Install GNU/Linux. Have MAC or RBAC enabled. Don't log in as a root.
Only install the softwares from your distro's secure repo
Use the Grsec kernel with PaX patches.
Use uBlock origin. HTTPS everywhere, Disconnect and Decentraleyes.
Use a Secure DNS.
Never keep yourself logged into anything.
If you want to compromise your privacy, enable two phase log in, However please do not link your email IDs as "referential IDs". Just make sure one email ID does not trace back to the other one you got.
Use a password manager. Best way is to maintain own encrypted spreadsheet.
Never use flash.
Install and keep firewall enabled at startup.
Keep bluetooth and printer service disabled by default.
Never give your windows VM any network access.
Do not bank or shop online unless you really have to. NEVER INSTALL YOUR BANK'S APP IN YOUR PHONE.
Randomly change all your 16 digit passwords. Use your spreadsheet to keep track of it.
Analyse your data traffic to check for network tapping.
Always keep a mirror backup of your data. Create your own cloud storage if you are really serious.
Lastly, only visit trusted websites
Reminder that there are malwares can exploit your host file system. Bidirectional file and clipboard sharing should be handled with caution.
>Protip:
You cannot "download" or "install" security
