can anyone suggest apps to install to have better security? all i know is antivirus and browser adblock.
I guess you are seeking for Window sapps as Linux itself is secure enough to be bothered about.
If my assumption is correct and. in addition, you are technically savvy guy, then
OSArmor may help you to achieve better security, It "monitor and block suspicious processes behaviors to prevent infections by malware, ransomware, and other threats."
But to use it successfully you really need to have a good knowledge on processes lying in the core of OS. Otherwise you may end up with dead OS.
