Advanced Plus Security (From forum thread)devjitdutta2025's PC Security Config

[Sampei.Nihira]

Thank you. Will it still auto update?

I assume so, I'm almost certain, but I've learned from forums that one must be cautious when making such statements.
Keep in mind that I haven't downloaded PC Manager... so...

UPDATE-

Removed Cyberlock since the license has expired and did not renew it. I’ll stick with ESSP (for LiveGuard)and SWH (to block scripts).

Added bitwarden and changed from ghostery to uBo.

Hi, I noticed you switched from Ghostery to uBlock Origin.
May I suggest the simplest mode that uses dynamic filtering?

"Enhaced Easy Mode"

These are the advantages:

Dynamic filtering: Benefits of blocking 3rd party iframe tags

As you can see, you need to set third-party frames to red (block) when you encounter a website that malfunctions and you don't want to bother finding the blocked domain that should be allowed. You can also click with the mouse in the right-hand column (local exception) until it turns gray. This way, that specific website is entrusted to the static filtering of the filter lists you have subscribed to.
You have then reverted that specific website to the default uBo mode (Easy Mode).

Nothing could be simpler.

In the image below, you can see the differences between uBo vs Ghostery:



Good work.

Web wrapper; heavy and slow.

It also writes huge amounts of data to the solid-state drive (SSD).

Where do you live? It isnt available in most countries.

I am in the Middle East, but my device settings are set to the United States.

I can confirm. The trick @Sampei.Nihira told me is working.

Please share your experience after testing MS PC Manager.

Good work.

Thank you. I’ll do the needful after getting back home from work.

I ditched it again as the features are not really needed on my pc at least. The boost option clears temporary files and cleans up memory. You can clean your temp files with the Windows built in feature. I personally use Process Lasso with it's "SmartTrim" feature, so the memory boost also isn't needed on my side. Other than that it offers "Deep Clean" which can clean your system more effectively but I won't use the tool just for that case. Other than that the other features are just the same features that Windows has already integrated. They are just easier to navigate through the app.

Update:

Did a fresh install of the latest Windows 11 and so have made some minor changes-

1) since NPE will be discontinued, I won’t be using any secondary scanners anymore.

2) instead of office 365, I’m using WPS office.

3) I’ve created custom rules for ESET HIPS & FW to block scripts & powershell.

4) replaced Nord VPN with Windscribe VPN.

5) got rid of 3rd party system cleaners since windows disk cleanup will suffice for me.

6) got google one 2TB plan free with my ISP for 18 months…gonna use it baby

7) added RunbySmartscreen and this will be used to launch any unknown app (although I highly doubt I’ll come across any unknown app since this PC is used only for gaming).

Only one thing I’ve noticed is that SAC is blocking some components of Hasleo Backup Suite but since the software is functioning properly I’m not having any problem.

Also stopped surfing, and doing banking transactions on this PC since I got myself a new MacBook Air.

Thanks for posting this since it's important for users to know that blocks by SAC do not automatically lead to malfunctioning apps.

Hasleo has an unsigned exe, but not the main executable.

Why is it being classified as malware? The AI needs to be trained properly.

 

[harlan4096]

Only potentially because unsigned...

7-Zip is not signed too, but not blocked by SAC!

 

[harlan4096]

I don't know if SAC blocking that exe from Hasleo, I just posted that as a possible speculation reason.

 

[devjitdutta2025]

Maybe because the software has been around for such a long time. I use Winrar and SAC had never blocked it so far.

Sometimes SAC block installer or exe after install if less prevalent, unsigned, and recently released; after waiting for days or week and retrying install or launch, it permits.
May be the installer is recently released.

Prevalence is one important factor, but SAC/WDAC blocked 7-Zip and MPC installers before when freshly released.
Also it still blocks Peazip installer and launch after install, despite being not freshly released; I suspect the culprit its included components for encryption and secure deletion.

SAC does not operate on a binary "Signed = Pass / Unsigned = Fail" logic, it uses a weighted heuristic where massive global telemetry can override the lack of a digital signature.
