Fine configuration, well Webroot can be a companion AV which can be alongside by other third party AV's.

You may add MBAM from on demand scanners.

Yeah but why use it with another AV when WSA works strong and great by itself?

I've been a MBAM user for a long time. But now it uses too much ram for a complementing antimalware. Also it increases both the AV's and its own scan times if used in realtime. Don't find use as on-demand.

When you said you have Trend Micro on your other PC's, what version is it? 2013 Max or?

 

[ams963]

Titanium IS 2013. Why? You also use TrendMicro?

Yes, I do. I'm the only user on this forum that has been using it for years.

Good comment, hope others see this too. :+1:

Well not anymore.

Added a VPN. I've tried some VPN services. And I've settled on SecurityKiss. It's great. It requires no Registration, usernames or Passwords. Free users get limited 300MB/day and speed limit(in my experience) about 12Mbit/s. The free package also comes with unlimited switching between servers, exclusive tunneling, octopus tunneling. The paid packages of course offers unlimited speed,(uncapped speed - 100 Mbit/s), unlimited data, even a dedicated IP address. Overall I think I'm satisfied with it. And the names of the packages are very interesting. The free plan is named Green, economy plan is OLIVINE, etc.

What do you use the VPN for?

 

[ams963]

I use it when I visit cafes, libraries, stay at hotels, etc. and use their WiFi networks. A VPN is a must in those situations.

 

[kjdemuth]

Privacy, Man in the middle attacks, Wifi sniffers. Just to name a few reasons.

 

[Ink]

OK, thanks.

I thought you were using the VPN for home use only, hence asking.

 

[ams963]

@kjdemuth is correct.

@Earth
I rarely use VPN for home use. IMO not needed when I'm at home. What do you think?

 

[ams963]

Changed my OS and setup a little.

 

[McLovin]

Have you considered Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, User Account Control? Basically Microsoft products?

 

[ams963]

Yes I have. Win FW and UAC are turned on in my system. Just didn't mention in the configuration. Not sure about Win Defender though. It's weak imo. WSA is light, fast and strong.

Best Wishes,
Amit

 

[ZeroDay]

Yeah WSA is feather light, really good product too.

 

[Ink]

Looks good.

@ZeroDay
Right you are.

@Earth
Thanks my friend.
