[QUOTE="Deleted member 2913, post: 421192"] In real world scenario CIS default settings are very strong with very good usability. The only thing I change is setting FW to ask for unknown. Offcoz custom settings are more protective but affects usability too especially when CIS sometimes gives probs with legit apps. HJLBX & me have talked about this quite a lot. Especially connections are affected i.e sometimes CIS generate FW alerts for trusted apps & custom settings i.e FW set to block for unknown in this scenario will block the connections for the trusted apps. For me tests are tests & good to know how a security software handles threats/handles threats with different config, etc... Real world scenario is not the same like tests & products have different modules to provide protection with layered approach. CIS defaults is not weak. Just as custom settings sets more restrictions for the programs i.e in CIS case restrictions for unknown programs i.e not allow unknown programs to fully operate or block them, defaults too provides an equivalent protection for unknown i.e one can hit block on the alert. I do wish CIS provides more options on the alert for "Run Isolated" i.e expand options with all the sandbox levels, Full Virt - Default, Limited, Restricted, etc... [/QUOTE]
