Best program(s) for protection on Windows 10?

I don't use it myself, but if you had a hard time finding those ask files, then I do have a suggestion. Try using a program called Everything. You type any name you can think of, it will scan all your hard drives and find anything related to the file name you type in. In this case if you would have typed in the word "ask" it would find it no matter where it was and once it does, gives you lots of choices from its menu. Best search program I have EVER seen. And....its FREE
Once you install it, you will never remove it. You can get it here from its home web page.

Thanks Mike, I'm super careful these days, I haven't done something that n00b in a decade but I'll check it out.

I also recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (Zero day exploit protection) free version.

I run Malwarebytes Pro, with lifetime license Ringel05 Love it. :)

Everything is great. I use it often since the Windows search does not show everything.

Will even show those "hidden" files too. I've been using it for the last 2 years, works in Win7, 8 and 10. Love it. :)
