I know. I will be using updated Norton 360 and paid subs to MalwareBytes Premium, CCleaner Pro, as I use now, and whatever else I can cobble together.

Any other suggestions for protection?

Yes, virtual machine with linux as os as it’s a really secure (though not 100%) os- viruses which are generally written for windows, will not execute in a linux environment- (But htere is a small risk of ‘crossover’ IF you have networking between the host os and VM os)

oh, and running windows browser in a sandbox greatly increases security- it’s a little complicated though IF you need to save stuff from the sandbox container to your host os, you’ll have to learn how to do that

I've used COMODO Cloud Antivirus for a couple of years now (plus Driver Booster Pro to keep *that* stuff squared away) with very good results.

Well if you hate W10 that much It may time to look at a Linux distro or Mac OS
