Chromatinfish 123's Config

[Chromatinfish 123]

Don't be afraid to choose what you think!

 

[Oxygen]

Pretty good from my view.

 

[Manzai]

Nice config, but :

On-demand Scanners:
Superantispyware Free

Useless

 

[illumination]

I think you need a couple more browsers

What do you have in place for backups of the system itself?

 

[Chromatinfish 123]

I just downloaded Zemana AntiLogger to my system to take advantage of the twitter 90 day free giveaway. Also, my system didn't stop the tests I threw at them. AntiLogger blocked them flawlessly!

Why?

Nothing YET. Trying to search for a decent one that can back up to the cloud. Windows Backup to Flash Drive/CD-DVD was a nightmare! It ran through 10 DVDs and took 5 days to completely back up!

Installed AntiLogger by Zemana right now a few moments ago so I'll be ready for the PM saying, "You've won a key" from Malware Tips.

 

[Manzai]

Why?

Very bad detection

If you do see yourself adding, as illumination's pun states, 'a couple more browsers' to your thoroughbred stable, consider using portable versions. This is a good method for new software too because they are extracted onto an external "stick" drive which leaves more room freed up on your system.

@Chromatinfish 123, if Windows imaging seemed overly involved perhaps keeping in mind that you only have to secure files, photos, & documents, you'd prefer to keep might save you a lot of chore like work rather than trying to save everything from the coming flood. Applications & especially bloatware can be jettisoned into cyberspace, & easily replaced!

Zemana AntiLogger remains the sole prized giveaway I'd come away with shortly after I'd joined. Thanks Jack! I have liked it even though some have dismissed it.

If you're truly interested in testing while also being able to back up your system while keeping it safe, a popular & necessary tool that's free (..& sounds like a lot of fun!) is Oracle's Virtual Box. You can read about & maybe even download it at Softpedia, a site I've learned & read good things about here on MT. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/VirtualBox.shtml
Also on my free wish list is Time Freeze http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Toolwiz-Time-Freeze.shtml You can read about it and download, or <click> on the developer's home page to download it directly from them.

A software I was introduced to by members & staff here which, in turn, introduced me to virtual containment (like suiting up your browser in a protective ski bib) is what I am using right now. Sandboxie www.sandboxie.com

Thank you for sharing your configuration.

 

[Exterminator]

I would get rid of SAS.Thanks for sharing your config

 

[Chromatinfish 123]

I just changed my config. I deleted SAS and MBAM because I installed EAM, and replaced Avast! with Bitdefender. I am testing a new config to see if there is any changes. The computer feels lighter already!

Looks like Bitdefender on my computer is lighter than Avast!

Thanks @Cats-4_Owners-2. I actually used to use Sandboxie, but everything seemed 5X as slow inside of it. Very confusing interface too.

Chromatinfish 123, early this morning, my wife said that while I'd still been in bed asleep, Firefox alerted her, she "..must first enable Java Script" in order for her to conduct commerce on Amazon. After she exited the sandbox, she explained, she had no further problems. So, although the Windows 7 lap top she was frustrated with had not been able to shut down properly before she'd even begun her session, I came to a firm realization. Since she was convinced it was Sanboxie's fault, and was therefore attempting not to place blame upon her considerate helpful husband who'd just happened to have pulled the plug on the AC adapter before rather than after snapping her battery into place when the computer was moved to the next room, she must surely be right! Sometimes, I can resist the urge to speak! ..and whenever software even appears to break man & machine's Cardinal rule of "Thy computer shalt not behave slow or confusing", I will support you (and especially my wife!) and, in turn, feel gladdened whenever systems work better, faster, and feel lighter!
