Danielx64's security configuration

[Danielx64]

My firewall is set so that nothing can access the net unless I allow it to go through.

Also with "OS Security Updates" I download the updates from work and then install then on my machine at home.

You should enable OS security updates, and possibly add Zemana Antimalware free or paid for regular scans.

If I had a better data plan (paying $70 for 12GB of data, on mobile) then I would indeed leave it on As for Zemana, I'll take a look. Thank you for the feedback

Maybe you could add Emsisoft Emergency Kit instead of ZAM as a good solid second opinion scanner.

Thanks for sharing with us here at MT.

Hello, great configuration, but you should add one more second opinion scanner(Hitmanpro, etc)and have you consideret a security suite(AV)

You don't have a home Internet connection(Ethernet or WiFi) for your desktop or Laptop that this config is on?
There would be no reason not to enable Windows 10 OS Security updates.This leaves your PC vulnerable and at risk.
If you download and install them at work then please edit your config accordingly to reflect that you do install them.
I would consider a system backup solution.Doing a clean install is going to download and install a bunch of updates depending on what version ISO you have.
Apart from the OS update issue your config is good.Thanks for sharing it with us

Thank you for the feedback. If I download then, stick the file on a USB and then install it when I get home, does that count? No I don't have Cable internet or anything like that, only hotspot with my mobile phone.

Also I do keep copies of the latest CU updates that I download at work

Yes that counts.I see you already edited it.Thank You

Please add ZAM Free, and I would add a good backup software, such as Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Good configuration out there.

Simple and effective, you are still open to add another companion based unless if you feel the risk level is high.

Updated to include the one year license of TEMASOFT Ranstop that I won

 

[shmu26]

My impression is that you are a careful and well-informed user, and that is the best security you can get.

I am indeed careful

Updated first post for the fact that I am now running Creators Update and just done a clean install after having issues after doing an upgrade.

He does not need a Security Suite, but I do agree that adding HitMan Pro as a second opinion would be a great idea.

So I updated my config I got a bunch of ESET Internet Security licenses (thanks to the fact that I live in Australia) and I dumped dashlime and I am now using Sticky Password.

 

[Danielx64]

So I updated my configuration to include the fact that I am now on Fall Creators Update, using Simple DnsCrypt with Adguard's DNS servers.

 

[Danielx64]

Updated again, I just brought

Changed tag to Secure, please also consider to add ZAM Free, Norton Power Eraser and EmsiSoft E.K. as on demands scanners.
