The catchy title works well. Keep your crucial documents across several devices and places. Linus maintains his backup server at his relatives' residence.

I’m likely to be replaced for mentioning this, but... when it comes to online safety I’ve always relied on Norton Internet Security for all my needs. I’ve never faced any problems with its performance, and it’s managed to block threats long enough for me to activate my anti-malware tools. When it comes to protecting files on Windows, there aren’t many options you can do. You can secure folders by encrypting them and adjusting permissions so only certain users can access specific files. For locking or password protection, you’ll need to explore third-party apps—though I wouldn’t suggest it unless you’re willing to deal with potential vulnerabilities. For saving data backups and restoring lost files, I keep an external USB drive in a secure spot, ready for use if needed.

Absolutely, I see your point. Norton really deserves more recognition, and it feels like it's often overshadowed by other brands. I used Norton for around three years before moving to Bitdefender. Both options are pretty similar in price on G2A, roughly around ten euros.

I’m resting peacefully now, realizing I’m not a total dork when I think Norton can be good.

Ensure the file is encrypted at the source. Consider running it on a virtual machine. Another approach is to disconnect the drive—access will be blocked. For OS, install antivirus for added protection, though no system is fully secure. Think of antivirus as a helpful assistant. If paranoia sets in, opt for security-focused OSes like Qubes OS or Whonix.
