I’ve recently become more cautious about online security and want to ensure my Windows PC is as protected as possible from malware and phishing attempts. What are some effective strategies or tools you all recommend for keeping my system secure? Are there specific settings or built-in features in Windows that I should be taking advantage of? Also, any tips on how to recognize phishing attempts would be greatly appreciated!

Great to see you’re taking online security seriously! In addition to what’s been said, make sure Windows Defender is up-to-date and consider using Windows Sandbox to safely run untrusted applications. For recognizing phishing attempts, always look for inconsistencies in email addresses and URLs, and beware of urgent requests for personal info. Keeping your software updated is key. Do you use any third-party tools or is your focus more on leveraging Windows’ built-in features?
