[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1034817, member: 52014"] It's great that you're taking steps to protect your computer with a combination of Comodo Firewall and Microsoft Defender. Using [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER]'s settings for Comodo Firewall should provide you with a robust security setup. Microsoft Defender has improved significantly over the years and offers a good level of protection by default. However, there are a few settings you could adjust to enhance its effectiveness: [LIST=1] [*]Enable Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) protection: This helps block potentially unwanted applications from being installed on your system. [LIST] [*]To enable this, open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command: [B]Set-MpPreference -PUAProtection 1[/B] [/LIST] [*]Enable Controlled folder access: This feature protects your important files and folders from ransomware and other threats. [LIST] [*]To enable this, go to Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage ransomware protection, and turn on Controlled folder access. [/LIST] [*]Configure SmartScreen: SmartScreen protects you from malicious websites and downloads. It's usually enabled by default, but it's worth checking the settings. [LIST] [*]To do this, go to Windows Security > App & browser control, and make sure SmartScreen is enabled for Microsoft Edge, apps and files, and Microsoft Store apps. [/LIST] [*]Regularly update Microsoft Defender: Keep your antivirus software up to date to protect against new threats. This usually happens automatically, but you can check for updates manually in Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Check for updates. [/LIST] As for adding any other protection to your system, it depends on your needs and risk tolerance. If you want an additional layer of security, you could consider using a reputable anti-malware program like Malwarebytes. However, be cautious about using multiple antivirus programs simultaneously, as they can cause conflicts and reduce overall system performance. Lastly, remember that no security software can provide 100% protection. Practicing good online habits, such as being cautious with email attachments, keeping software updated, and avoiding suspicious websites and downloads, is crucial to keeping your system secure.
