How will you secure your newly purchased PC?
I'm not sure how easy it is to ask the members here. Some people really get confused when it comes to securing their brand new home computer. It's not easy to decide what to install and what not. Some completely restrain from installing anything for the fear of slowing down machine. Some of us install the OEM versions of internet security software that comes bundled.

How do you guys secure your new computer or laptop?

Installing a light weight antivirus software like ESET Nod32 is the best practice to secure your pc.

First i update windows manually a few times until all updates are installed.
Dont want to wait for automatic update

Remove all bundled software like virusscanner, office and other
trailware.

Make an backup-image of this still "clean" PC.

Install a firewall, like comodo
Install virusscanner, spybot search and destroy , let em scan
and protect.

Install other browser, firefox or chrome with security-plugins
like noscript.

Bit more advanced : disable windows-services you dont need.
If it aint running it cant be used to attack your pc. Smile

I always depend on a copy of Kaspersky or Norton internet Security. If I own a new PC I must use one of them.

Everyone have a Dream

If you think 18th place is the best.
Kaspersky and Bitdefender are almost every test the best ones.

I'm not sure how simple it is to ask the associates here. Some people really get puzzled when it comes to obtaining their product new desktop computer. It's not simple to determine what to set up and what not. Some absolutely limit from setting up anything for the concern with delaying device.

The first I do is to change the AV to a good one like Eset. Then I install a good VPN. Windows 10 is pretty good with security, so I think that is enough.

Tailored PC. Intel i3 8100. Samsung 860 Evo SSD.Nvidia 1060.
Eset NOD 32 AV.
Express VPN.

RE: How will you secure your newly purchased PC?
I would buy a Mac))) They are not fully secured from viruses, sandboxing might be too restrictive, but they are, you know, on a brand new level of security. The only real concern I have about macs is that I use third-party browsers and have to load third-party apps. Therefore I encounter issues like Yahoo redirect, you may have it even from a fairly legitimate app unless you read heaps of the pulp fiction those smart guys call the app's EULA.

Well, ok, Windows is getting better, it has many flaws for hackers to exploit, but the trend is promising. Most of the vulnerabilities occur in your browser, and the viral code covers its shady payload with quite a trustworthy shield, see the case of Yahoo redirect virus: --https://applehelpwriter.com/yahoo-search-redirect-mac-virus-removal/-
