Aries91 Configuration (updated July 2017)

[aries91]

This is my last security configuration.

My hitman pro alert's licence is going to expire within 10 days.
I have to renew it or not?
Is Emsisoft enough or I need hitman pro alert too ?

Emsisoft doesn't have any anti-exploit modules as far as i know, so you need HMPA.

Very nice and secure config! because you already have many second opinion scanners already, you don't have to purchase HMP. Malwarebytes and ESET are fine for second-opinion scans.

Nothing to add here! Thanks for sharing.

You don't need HPA at all with VS running.
Nice config, keep it that simple and dont run too many programs at the same time.

 

[BugCode]

Nice.

Look almost a bit overkill, but so what! Consider like sandboxie to your setup, it's good have a sandboxed browser etc.. just in case. Also, this is worth to consider MBAE 1.09 - Latest standalone BETA .



Thanks for share!

I think you would be fine with EIS & VS.
Either way a nice secure Windows 10 config!
Thanks for sharing it with us

 

[JM Safe]

Good config.

You are protected.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[aries91]

Thanks all guys!
I 'll let hitman pro alert expiring.

A nice config for sure. Maybe take a look at Macrium Reflect Free for backups and System Images it is free and very reliable.

Thanks for sharing with us here at MT.

None of VS or EIS has HMPA anti-exploit capabilities and features, so HMPA is needed, i suggest you to renew it if you can afford it.
HMPA is an important pillar in my setup.

VS Free isn't needed (especially the free version, you could consider if it was the paid version).
EIS has an AV + BB + Web Filter + FW, so i deem it more important than VS free in your setup.

thanks so do you think I should renew hmpalert and uninstall voodooshield free version?

It is what i would do personally. Now it is your system, do what make you feel safe.

I decided to renew my hitmanpro alert licence and unistall voodooshield free.

why would that have any connection? HMPA is anti-exploit, Voodooshield is anti-exe.. they serve two different porpuses

I decided to follow Umbra's suggestions.
Anyway emsisoft has a BB that block every suspected or unknown file or program starting to boot ,moreover I have windows uac enabled at full settings.
I think this is enough to stay protected and avoid too much security programs.

yea no i get that part, i was just asking that cause you made it sound like you removed VS cause you installed HMPA back

I like it. Very secure. Emsisoft and HitmanPro are the kings in detection right now.

 

[aries91]

After emsisoft internet security was merged with emsisoft antimalware , I Switched to Windows Firewall.
I trust in Emsisoft choice and I decided not install any other firewall (COMODO FIREWALL) ,at least not shortly.
I used comodo in the past and i like it, but maybe too much protection for an intermediate user like me.

If you like to control outbound connections "a la 3rd party firewalls" , you can use Binisoft Windows Firewall Control; it is a donation-ware, you will have lifetime license for around 10usd , which is quite cheap.
