Real-time security
I use a restriction policy with syshardener, the only real-time protection is posed by HitmanProAlert with HitmanPro.
Firewall security
About custom security
I apply some mitigation profiles to Thunderbird and other software not catched automatically by HitmanProAlert.
Periodic malware scanners
I run FRST once in a month to check for changes, I use mainly HitmanPro with portableapps Emsisoft Emergency Kit, and TDSS Killer, all of them portableapps. I use also some other tools from NoVirusThanks to check things. And RogueKiller.
Malware sample testing
I do not participate in malware testing
Browser(s) and extensions
I use Chromium, and I manual update it, main extension not so many; I use Google Keep and Office extension, Popupblocker strict and Tampermonkey, and httpseverywhere.
Maintenance tools
I use a very old version of CCleaner, don't worry, not the one with the malware :), with winapp2ool.exe with custom winapp2.ini
If I will be forced to move from CCleaner, I have a portable of BleachBit at hand.
File and Photo backup
I use Google Drive, or Dropbox or Mega; also different USB pen drives, autoruns is disabled.
System recovery
I use Macrium Reflect monthly to do full system image.
Risk factors
    • Gaming
    • Browsing to popular websites
    • Streaming audio/video content from shady sites
    • Browsing to unknown / untrusted / shady sites
    • Working from home
Computer specs
Asus ROG-GL753VD
4/4 layers are covered:
  • Web browser: Adguard
  • Backup: Dropbox et al
  • Realtime & other: HitmanProAlert
  • Firewall: you have on but not specified

My advice:
  • Place state which Firewall Program or compliment you're using for you system and update
  • Add Emsisoft Browser Security to web browser
  • Your choice if you like to add Netcraft to counter Phishing pages

Nothing more to add, very like and very sufficient. Thanks for sharing.

Hi my friends, I use Windows10FirewallControl as third party;

Inside PiHole I have some lists for phising, like this one: https://openphish.com/feed.txt

I will consider your tips and test Emsisoft Browser Security,

thanks my friends.
Least you have Phishing covered and hope you like the Emsisoft extension, let me know how it goes!
