Darlene's Security Configuration

[Darlene]

I use Bitdefender because I have free licenses, gained over the several BETA campaigns. Bitdefender is far from perfect, but is still decent in prevention and detection.

Good config.Do you use windows backup?

Far from perfect? Using BitDefender 2017 will make you happy! Keywords: Startup-Optimizer, Disk-Optimizer and Oneclick-Optimizer
Okay...just kidding. Now to your config:
Why you set OS Update & patching to manual? I would set it to automatic, for getting the updates/patches as early as possible. Otherwise a good setup I guess.

It looks good to me. Thanks for sharing.

So what Backup software do you use.

I like your sense of humor , I enabled "Notify for download and notify for install" in the group policy and update as soon as possible.

No, I do not use any back-up software.

So what Backup software do you use.

I explained it here.

Ahh okay. Then I said nothing!

Consider adding Zemana AntiLogger/Malware for some added protection and or scanning capabilities. They are giving out lifetime licenses as of now.

Why aren't you using Online MSA to backup and sync app data instead of local account?

 

[shmu26]

it is great to have a system backup, like the kind made by macrium reflect, or Aomei.
Then if you have any problem with your system, or you just want to totally uninstall some software you were trying out, you just click on restore, and you are right back exactly where you were before.
it's free software, so why not?

Alternatively, you can also use Deep Freeze by Faronics. Doing crap with your PC, restart, and everything is as before.
Backing up your system - whether on -or offline based - seems to be a big topic here.
Old but gold-method: Put in your Windows-DVD, restart, boot from Disk -> Format C:\ and performing a clean-install is the safest way to get a healthy system.

I test software in VMware Pro, the "format and clean installation" method is the most time consuming but assures you in solving a system error or infection. That's why malware prevention is more important than removal to me.

Soon on my new android smartphone.

 

[FrankS]

By Samsung?

sounds good! you know what you are doing and should be able to help others on this forum

 

[Darlene]

By Samsung?

I am still considering my options. What brand do you suggest?

Thank you for the compliment!

In relation to smartphones I grew up with Samsung. So I don't really know any other Brand. My first one was the Galaxy S2 and now I have the Galaxy S7. It's nice, looking good and has a nice performance. But it's also comparatively expensive in Germany. In terms of price and performance Huawei is a good alternative I guess. In terms of performance, Samsung is my favourite.
Here you can see a performance-ranking of current Smartphones: Best Smartphones and Tablets

Very nice configuration.

Optional suggestion: You can have a backup browser in case of some issues occur on your primary one.
