Advanced Plus Security DDE_Server Security Config 2021

[DDE_Server]

Hi Gents,
This my security configuration for 2020

@DDE_Server: I guess overkill in browsers add-ons... also why uBlock Origin and AdGuard Desktop?

Thanks for sharing

I would remove some here and there but secure setup

I hope you don't use adguard and ublock at same time since they can overlap and cause issues.

I have both as well but I only switch to adguard when ublock breaks a website.

No need for both emsisoft and malwarebytes extensions. Emsisoft is enough.

That's my recommendations

i agree with you in case of ublock i am thinking to remove it as ad guard is enough also it has the ability to add filters which is used by ublock
but for malwarebyte i think it has one advantage over other protection extension as it has scam support protection

it seems that this is common opinion here and it seems it is better to remove this as it may be redundant thanks for your opinion

Removed:
Emsisoft AM " Licence expired"
Added:
Malware byte premium " i heard good reviews about premium version so may try it for a while -i won one year giveaway license from here.

Updated for year 2021 . what is your opinion gents

I don't think Netcraft and Malwarebyes browser guard are needed with Kaspersky cloud free.
Just an adblocker, a password manager and Kaspersky's own extension is enough.
Kaspersky cloud free has (one of) the best browsing protection there is.

Malware guard strong against fake technical support website scamware also kaspersky free addons doesn't have private browsing or Anti banner so hope this addons complement them. Also netcraft has very large phishing website database.

did you visit so many untrustworthy sites that you need such protection?
I read so often here about Netcraft, Kaspersky, MalwareBytes, .. extension(s) but MT members know about the dangers on the web and have secured their system more than necessary. So why even more (overkill) protection(s) ? Remember that browser extensions are a attack surface and privacy risk too.

I don't say that these extensions are useless and very appreciate the analyse about but i always wonder to which level of protection MT member go / what their thread model is.

yes you are right they may be redundant and somehow overkill however they cover many aspects of protection and complement each other
yes it may increase the attack surface from vulnerability management point of view but it is considered as defense in depth with multilayered approach "if one fails,
the other one covers" this may degrade the browsing performance little but be more secure on the other hand
replying to your question is no i am not visiting risky website , however phishing attacks using fake website is a great weakness in any AV protection, so i try decrease this possibility as much as i can using these extensions

Kaspersky cloud and Voodooshield. I have a feeling you should be protected.
