NOTE: DO NOT defragment and "optimize" and SSD. DEFRAGEMENT IS ONLY supposed to be used for hard drives, using defragment will can hurt your SSD.

If you could make a video about safely downloading files and software. I think it would be very useful

WIndows defender with an UPDATED win-OS system is MORE secure then any firewall besides if you build a custom firewall yourself. Norton in particular makes your computer MORE vulnerable. Don't fall for advertising.

Did you really just recommend Kaspersky and Norton? Please no! Just use the Windows Defender. That doesn't bottleneck your System that much.

Hi bro, hope you are fine and doing well.
I have faced to a very big problem if you can help me to solve it.
Last day, I used a USB drive, it had very dangerous virus and affected my PC very badly. This virus changed my all videos, pictures, as well as all data to shortcut file type. My PC had 3 drives; 100 GB C drive, 100 GB D driv and 500 GB E drive. Total 750 GB, all drives almost full.
When the bloody virus affected my PC, all drives data changed to shortcut file type and all drives completely empty 😥.

Is there any way to gain my data back?

It's shame none of the videos in this playlist deal with guiding seniors through the simple task of updating their operating system.
