No you don't need. Remember that the user is the best AV. Viruses rarely actively seek to enter your system, but rather the user downloads/give access.

In Win 8 & 10 Win Defender is more than pretty basic, albeit bare bones. Disable the cloud option if you don't want to "submit samples/files" without your consent.

3rd party AV's:
i) take system resources
ii) scan your files
iii) phones home

There was a time when I used an AV. I had Avast, but when it got bloated I changed to Panda AV. Even today Panda AV free is one of the most lightweight 🙂

Oh I forgot, browser extensions can actually do more harm than good. Several years ago I used Ghostery bu found out they sell data to advertisers, so I changed to disconnect.me.

But eventually I grew sick of extensions, and these days Opera browser (Chromium engine just like Chrome) has built-in VPN and built-in ad blocker.

I've been in talks with Opennic that they would bring ad blocking to some of they're servers, dunno what's gonna happen with that they are so against any type of censorship. But doing ad blocking on cloud/dns level is much more hmmm efficient than doing it at end user side.

One can also install ad blocker to one's router.

BitLocker is easily openable by police/intelligence MS provides means for them, but surely I use Windows 10 ~ I just love it 😄

Change BitLocker to VeraCrypt (or Jetico BestCrypt if can afford (cracks might breach app security), VeraCrypt is Open source, easy to use and has heaps of features far greater than "BitLocker"…

Then, TPM should really be called non-TPM, but VeraCrypt has features for full OS encryption as well.

A few months ago (during a travel) I found a muscle guy who was into slim and short guys, but it was more like a fetish of him. He just likes to lift us (and it's hot, but I wanted more than that).
