I just use Windows Defender. I have tried some other proprietary anti-virus solutions, but ended up disliking all of them. I manually update Defender once a day and run a quick scan. Then I manually run a full scan on my system drive - maybe once a week.
But I have another tier of defense:
I have a second drive in my desktop for data only. I keep a full backup of my data drive on two external drives, not normally connected to my computer, as a safeguard against Ransomware and drive failures.
To back up my systems drive, I regularly take an image of the entire drive, that I also store on an external drive. I usually take a fresh image after any major update of Windows. You can try and use the Windows 7 imaging utility (it's still there, in the Windows 10 Control Panel), but it is not dependable and is likely to leave you stranded at the most inopportune time. For imaging, I use Macrium's Reflect - a free tool. Reflect can also create a boot disc for you, from which you can boot to re-image your drive. In case of a disaster, re-imaging my systems drive takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Oh, It looks like Orsons Farm (by Jim Davis, Garfield creator) has it now been renamed US Acres (? )

It was always called U.S. Acres inside the US and Orson Farm from outside...

I worked on some software years ago where this very issue came up. Try as I might I could never get this through to our Project Architect, and some of the others; all of whom lived in a country with at least 4 timezones.

Isn't that just a sock that buttons up at the front?

I work on the "Student Sock Rotation" method: throw them all at the wall and wear the ones that don't stick...

And what are you doing with those DO stick?

Turn it into a climbing wall.

How hard it can be to climb a wall you stick to it anyway?

Well obviously you have to paint them first...

That's the thing with high frequency ... you just never hear about it.

I don't think you'll find anything useful available publicly. Anything that had its guts exposed will have all the other companies closed source apps optimized to pwn the open one.
It's a zero sum game, and unless you're able to plug directly into the data centers where the exchanges are run, your latency will be fatally higher than that of the companies who're wiping you out, so it's not something that can be effectively played with on your own time. (Even ignoring that Joe Rando can't trade directly and his brokerage isn't setup for high frequency trading - in either speed or fees charged.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

thank you for sharing. my partners do plan to set up an office around the exchanges to do high frequency trading. now I need to do some research on this topic. before that I plan to use a FIX server to simulate high frequency trading to get some sense of it.

A warm welcome: [^]. (.gif file, SFW&K)
First, a down-vote within five minutes of their post. Then a comment that often suggests the OP is mentally-challenged in some way. And, then, within fifteen minutes, either a sermon on homework posted as solution, or a solution that may/may-not have some relevance to the OP's concerns no matter the fact they have not yet answered questions in more serious comments that are really necessary to make any educated guess as to what the question is about.
However, lest I give a too hellish flaneur's perspective: within the chthonic technical darkness of this nether-realm, certain angelic presences float, touching with light the dark corners of the mysteries of Linq and ASP, and other demi-urgic entities that must only be referred to by their initials.
I dare name a few: OriginalGriff, Richard MacCutchan, Richard Deeming, Sascha Lefevre, Mika Wendelius, but, there are more.
Yep, it's just like the real world.
