File Scanner
One of the key tools for staying safe online is a file scanner. If you check out any malware section on hacking forums, you'll see that users often warn, “DO NOT UPLOAD THIS TO VIRUS TOTAL.” So, when I need to scan files for my own use, I usually go for the Virus-Total Uploader. It uploads your file and checks it against multiple antivirus programs. This isn’t ideal for those looking to spread malware, but it’s perfect for anyone wanting to avoid getting infected.
Firewall
A firewall serves as a crucial defense against malware. TinyWall is a lightweight firewall that blocks all traffic by default until you create an exception. While it might take some time to set up, it provides a protective barrier against anyone trying to access your information or connect to their servers without your permission.
Encryption
If you have files on your computer that you wouldn’t want your mom to find, it’s smart to use file encryption software. VeraCrypt lets you encrypt hard drive partitions and even create hidden ones that are also encrypted. To access these encrypted partitions, someone would need to guess your password, making it pretty secure. You can even encrypt your whole computer if you want.
File Deletion
When you delete a file from your computer, it doesn’t actually disappear. It remains on your hard drive, just hidden until that space is overwritten. If that worries you, there’s an app called CCleaner that can help. It’s a bit bulky for my taste, but once you set it up, you can right-click the recycle bin and choose “Run CCleaner” to overwrite deleted files up to 12 times. Just remember to change the default setting from 1 time in the options
Hope it helps
