aamoos Security Config.

[aamoos]

I have a Core i3 of first generation with 3gb of Ram. It is a bit outdated but satisfies all my needs. I have a Windows 10 Pro. I Use Eset Smart Security Premium 10 with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Looks really good! Is ESET heavy at all for you? I usually have trouble with AVs besides Avast. (I have 8gb of ram and some other stuff.) I would add Zemana as an on-demand scanner! If ESET is too heavy for your computer, Avast is a very nice and light alternative.

Thanks mate. No ESET works very well and doesn't use too much resources. I used Zamana before but found Malwarebytes better. I will give Zamana a try again.

Consider adding HTTPS Everywhere and macrium reflect

When i tested Eset not long time ago it wasn't heavy at all to computer actually light as plume. I suggest add HTTPS-Everywhere addon + maybe scriptsafe too. Also most important security after user is backup. Thanks for sharing

What are the functions of HTTPS Everywhere?? Just encryption or even more??

Thanks mate. Will try them.

HTTPS Everywhere forces websites and the various connections on said sites to secure https connections when they would usually default to insecure http. It provides extra security and privacy overall.

Thanks.Just installed it.

I suggest making frequent backups of your most important data and making an image backup in case something goes wrong with your system. I personally use AOMEI Backupper for both tasks but others would no doubt suggest Macrium Reflect for image backups.

Also consider adding Avira Browser Safety to your browser(s) to shore up your web protection.

Thanks for suggestions. But I cannot do backups because of limited HDD storage. And I heard too many bad things about Avira Browser Safety.

Always the option to buy a portable hard drive and backup to there; making sure to keep it disconnected when not in use.

Could you elaborate on the bad things you heard about ABS?

Portable drive is a good option, I will try it. Just quoting from a website about ABS
"As we’ve seen, Avira Browser Safety offers little to the end user. Even worse than the above considerations are the past privacy and security concerns that antivirus extensions have caused. Antivirus browser extensions can interfere with your browser’s normal functions and even snoop on your traffic, like Superfish did. This is all on top of the tracking your antivirus already does."
Many websites don't recommend it.

Fair enough. It's not a necessity but it's there if you'd like some added protection against malware and phishing sites.

Please add ZAM Free, CCleaner Free.

Add SandBoxie Free and use it while browsing to have more protection.

And follow suggestions about backups, it is very important in case of infection, crashes, etc.

Please edit your thread if you added HTTPS Everywhere.

Thanks for sharing.

Consider some type of system and data backup solution.
Consider adding an additional on demand scanner(s)
Consider adding CCleaner for a system utility option.
Aside from the backup solution you have a nice config!
Thanks for sharing your config

Everything was said above, but you can click the spoiler if you want to see my recommendations.

Spoiler

• Adding a backup solution such as AOMEI Backupper or Macrium Reflect.
• Adding at least one more on-demand scanner such as Zemana AntiMalware Free or Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
• Adding a security extension to Google Chrome such as Avira Browser Safety.
• Adding CCleaner as a system utility.
• Adding Process Explorer with VirusTotal enabled (if you accept their terms of service) as an on-demand "scanner".
• Adding Autoruns as a system utility.

Critical - Not critical - Optional

Thanks for sharing your config!

You are using a top notch security suite and a very secure browser. As far as these fields are concerned, you are absolutely fine.

I'd recommend you pay extra caution to data and system backups. Data backups can help safeguard irreplaceable files and other information in case of a malware attack or software disaster, while system backups can help you restore your system to its exact state, as it was when you created those system backups, saving you time and effort in case of a software malfunction or malware infection.

For data backups, you can copy sensitive files to external storage media or to the cloud.
For system imaging, you may try one of the following solutions (the Windows Backup and Restore feature should suffice in 99% of cases):

• Windows Backup and Restore

OR

• Macrium Reflect Free

OR

• Paracon Backup & Recovery Free Edition

Do take into account other members' suggestions as well, as far as additional scanners/browser extensions/system utilities are concerned. They presented some excellent recommendations.

Other than that, you are good to go. Thanks for sharing your config with us!
