Basic Security Dhruv2193's Sony Vaio Configuration

[Dhruv2193]

Hi this is my security config on my vaio laptop.

@Dhruv2193: please kindly consider:

• Enable UAC, at Always Notify.
• As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", Norton Power Eraser.
• Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, and not only in cloud.
• As for "Web Privacy", You may add some browser extensions: uBlock Origin, and a VPN service.
• Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here.

Thanks for sharing Your config

I would like to recommend that you add HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock Origin as well @Dhruv2193 . Both of these add-ons are highly recommended and I side with @JM Security 's recommendation here.

Personally, I use Norton Power Eraser as part of my Norton Security package and it is quite powerful. UAC should be ticked up to always notify as @harlan4096 has mentioned. Lowering the UAC below that mark isn't a great idea in my opinion.

Have you taken a look at Macrium Reflect (Free)? This is a great disk imaging utility that has a great addition called viBoot. Read more about viBoot here: Macrium Software | Macrium viBoot

I'm a big fan of Sticky Password manager myself. For added security, you can cancel out the cloud sync and perform manual backups. However, this password manager is great - in my humble opinion.

Once nice VPN that I would suggest looking into is Windscribe. Read more about Windscribe here: Windscribe
