I just recentley reinstalled windows after someone gained access to my bank accounts. i changed all my passwords, IP, Etc. I kinda blame this happening on myself because before all this took place i threw caution to the wind and decided to go full commando when browsing the web no firewall, antivirus,etc. This time around though i would like to get the proper security needed to keep myself and my personal information safe. My question is what are the best programs whether they be paid or free? What do i need to get myself completly up and running with full protection? I understand asking this question is like asking someone "Playstation 4 or xbox one" or "galaxy or Iphone" it will boil down to personal preference. However it has been so long since i used any kind of AV or internet security i dont know where to even begin. So please advice is appreciated. again i am willing to pay for the best if needed but if i can get the same results with free i would rather go that route. also i want to have everything a good firewall, AV, the whole nine. Also i am heavy into gaming so i want something that is not gonna weigh down my performance by it running in the background.
Thanks
