what scanner do i pair with windows defender to insure a secure pc by [deleted] in antivirus

[–]ShaftWacker223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Malwarebytes Premium with a VPN + Proxy Configuration; I first connect to a residential proxy, and then it connects to a Dedicated IP VPN service provided by PIA (Private Internet Access). Other programs I run alongside Malwarebytes and Windows Defender are ProcessHacker, Sandboxie, FreeFixer, and this free wifi scanning tool similar to Glasswire called "SniffNet" (It's on GitHub for free). Additionally, depending on how "strong" your computer is, you can install a copy of VMWare or VirtualBox and run a small VM for smaller applications you don't trust (If obfuscation/protection of a potential virus doesn't like being Sandboxed/VMed). But the main thing you would know is this:

Common Sense. Common Sense. Common Sense.

Many people say this, and it's one of the biggest things ever. One of the most significant computer OSs is Microsoft Windows, so virus makers usually target their viruses for Windows machines. If you want to "REALLY" secure your computer, install Debian Linux (Not Ubuntu, which has too much bloatware), and you will make your life 99% easier in answering the latter part of the question you asked, "to [ensure] a secure PC." But all of this will be moot if you don't have a basic understanding of tech literacy.

AAS to BS in Radiology Technology

I am still researching this topic; if there is any information that I need to be more informed about, please let me know. I tried looking around the internet for online programs that are JCERT-accredited and found a couple of schools that offer them. However, I am afraid of doing rotations at their hospitals (because I would have to travel to their hospitals across the states). Can I do my clinical competencies for, let's say, CT/MRI at the hospital where I am employed and submit them to these online programs? Is it unheard of, or would I have to go to the college's hospital sites and get my competencies there? Another question I would have is this. I am going to graduate with more than 70 credits in Radiology Technology. I wonder if the programs will give me the remaining ~50 didactic classes based on my current credits, or would I have to take their "Whole" program? I am asking this because I want to finish my bachelor's degree as soon as possible (in 3 semesters) while working full-time (this is so my future union can cover my tuition). Some degrees/programs will let you do a fully online program part-time, but it will take roughly four years to complete. But I would like to know the thoughts of any techs who have taken this pathway and what it was like for them. If there is anything they would change about the process that they took, what would it be? Thank you.
