You should use a good anti-exploit to protect your browsers, flash, java and etc. preferably a free one like EMET, if you like tweaking or Malwarebytes Anti-exploit, if you like simplicity.

You may also use Qihoo Essentials to sandbox you browsers if you wish to.

As always, test software in a virtual machine as it may cause damages and etc.

You shoud also use a free patching software such SuMo Lite, Patch My PC, and etc.

And you should also follow @Tornado's advice.

:D

the problem still on smartscreen cant activate again.. like in the pic i upload. thx

It's always good to be safe and add Malwarebytes Anti Exploit you can't even feel it affecting the computer's performance.

for what i see. malwarebytes anti exploit is pay.. sorry but atm i cant pay for any program and i really hate use the " free " version with very limited options compared to "pro".
anyway.. for what i know the Av + firewall plus some tweaks on services, SO config, control autoruns etc; doing great job vs those kind of atacks.

Malwarebytes Anti Exploit Free is good browser and java exploit protection. The other features are not as important anyway.

So far so good on the configuration, well if you cannot fix the gray out option for Smartscreen then try the link from AskVG

It deals to fix by using group policy or registry.
