Harden Windows PC Antivirus
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
A recently rebuilt Windows workstation needs a bullet-proof antivirus setup carried out over a remote session. The job begins with selecting an effective AV suite (I am open to your recommendation—Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, or another best-in-class option) and continues through full installation, optimisation, and hardening.
Key protection goals
• Online banking: isolate browser sessions, enable real-time phishing & key-logger defences, and verify safe-transaction modules are active.
• Confidential files: enforce on-access scanning, tune heuristic settings for maximum detection, and lock down local folders with password-protected vaults or encryption available within the AV.
• Google Drive sync: ensure cloud-storage scanning is enabled, block malicious file sync, and set custom rules for shared links.
What I expect when we finish
1. Antivirus installed and licensed on one Windows PC.
2. All configuration screens reviewed together via the remote session so I see exactly what has been hardened.
3. A concise PDF or text report summarising each setting changed and the reasoning behind it, plus any ongoing maintenance tips.
You’ll have full admin access during a mutually scheduled TeamViewer or AnyDesk session, and I’ll stay online throughout for two-factor approvals. Once the report is delivered and the machine reboots with no errors, the job is complete.
