davisd Security Setup (2018)

[Winter Soldier]

Creators Update installed, then PC reset all settings, apps, etc.

Removed: AdBlocker Ultimate
Added: ESET Smart Security (many tweaked settings, HIPS set now in "Learning Mode" while I am configuring everything for my needs, after set to "Ask"), Enabled AppContainer in Chrome, Adguard Premium, Grammarly Premium, SecureMyBit (for encrypting files before uploading to OneDrive, thanks to @JM Security), One-way sync for OneDrive by Adrian Fiechter - Technology for Everyone

cscript.exe - disabled
wscript.exe - disabled
wssadmin.exe - renamed
PowerShell script execution - blocked
PowerShell commands - allowed

That's basically it for now. Just toying around for personal research. In my free time translating Secure Emails Become a Breeze. to my native language

Very good changes you got there

Removed: Eset Smart Security, Google Chrome, Adguard Premium, One-way sync for OneDrive (slow upload speed), HitmanPro (not needed), OneDrive for Business
Added: Kaspersky Internet Security, Yandex Browser (Appcontainer enabled), uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, OneDrive Personal (subscription)

Eset HIPS gets annoying in Interactive mode, even after it learns your system/apps, but in Automatic/Smart mode Eset doesn't provide best possible protection. Yandex seems to perform better than Chrome for me, performance is also very good when uploading/downloading big files through browser from OneDrive, Chrome used to spike on about 5GB RAM and crash afterwards. Adguard removed because many new stream-integrated ads in Twitch weren't blocked, uBlock Origin seems to do better, but not entirely. And OneDrive for Business from my University is monitoring uploaded files, I don't feel comfortable knowing that my Uni can see pictures of my son or tax papers/sensitive documents, so had to go for OneDrive Personal. Laptop connected to LAN 24/7 now, so even it's home network, my ISP is collecting some of my net traffic, so using F-Secure Freedome VPN 24/7 connected, meedle finger to my ISP now. I had a thought to run F-Secure SAFE with F-Secure Freedome together since i've got some unused licenses, that would be cool light combo, but for now just KIS with custom settings. Keeping it simple.

davisd Buying ReHIPS when it's out, currently using RC4. Fixer thinks it'll be one of the last RC builds. ReCrypt Company deserves more attention. 04/04/2017

I kept my word.

Removed: Kaspersky Internet Security

Added: ReHIPS, Windows Firewall Control, Revo Uninstaller Pro

Also enabled Windows Defender and some tweaks applied from Set Windows Defender Antivirus blocking to high on Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News So far everything is good and smooth. I should have waited a couple of more days, before adding KIS back, I wasn't expecting ReHIPS to go stable.

Looks good. I would be interested to hear if you run into a higher amount of False Positives with WD configured like that.
