Harden Windows 10 - A Security Guide
Malware and hackers attack by exploiting security vulnerabilities. The solution is to reduce attack surface so that we expose less opportunities for exploitation. The main principle is Least Privilege. To implement the principle of least privilege is to configure your system so that it only does what you normally do, and nothing else. This minimizes the attack surface, and removes services that listen on the network 24/7 to anybody who wants to send it stuff.(like an exploit) There are many places in Windows where risk outweighs features, and this hardening guide goes through them one by one. Also, we will implement several layers of security that stops various forms of attack, and also protect your personal files.

Harden Windows 7
Read the instructions very carefully and note that many services may and will stop working.
Additionally i have installed the following three extensions to every browser that i use: UBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger. Note that things may get a bit slower in return for more secure browsing!
