Adblocking ​

INFO

Don't run multiple general adblockers like ublock and adblock plus at the same time. Running more than one can cause breakage. This only applies to general adblockers, so running things like ublock and sponsorblock at the same time is fine.

Anti-virus ​

INFO

Antivirus software is usually bloatware. Stick to trusted sources for games and software and you will be fine with nothing but Windows Defender and an occasional Malwarebytes scan. Remember to always scan software before installing it with tools like VirusTotal or use it in Sandboxie.

Privacy ​

Note that a VPN is not needed outside torrenting. You can avoid the need for one altogether by sticking to direct download and streaming sites.

Torrenting ​

WARNING

Torrenting can get you in trouble with your ISP, so make sure to use a VPN. Most VPNs offer a killswitch to prevent data leaks, but you should also bind your VPN to your client, preventing it from connecting at all unless your VPN is on.
