For data backup, do you mean OneDrive or File History?

For system backup, do you mean Windows Backup or another built-in tool?

OneDrive - On Demand but most of the time I just do a full WIndows Backup but I was quite partial to Comodo Time Machine when it was an ongoing project. I'm open to free recommendations if anyone has one.

P.S. Been using NoScript intermittently with Firefox lately.

Doing a CIS fresh install later, just been playing around tweaking a load of CIS stuff and decided to revert back to default or CS settings. Still using FF though I miss the page translation of Chrome and the Firefox addon can be tedious as you have to select what to translate. Using laptop mainly for gaming and browsing.

 

[ErzCrz]

Lots of configuration options, CS settings works ok, comodofix and imaude's configurations are intriguing as well but staying with CS. Firefox is fine but feels slow and laggy at times. Might give Comodo Dragon another go though I'm not a fan of yahoo search but I can change that.

Use this add-on for page translation in Firefox Page Translator

Use this add-on for page translation in Firefox Page Translator

Thanks! I find this one the best one PageTranslator – Get this Extension for Firefox (en-GB)
The revised separate addon acts odd with hovering links and this one doesn't take up part of the page telling you it's being google translated. I'd just wish it saved the target language.

I haven't use this one but it seems like for translating you need to click on extension icon. But the one I shared only show the translate icon beside the address bar when it detects a foreign language page and for me it works all the time.

Thanks. I prefer ones from the addon store but I'll give this a go.

EDIT: Found this one Translate Whole Page (to English) – Get this Extension for Firefox (en-US) you still have to click to translate on the initial page but it automatically seems to do the other pages.

Anyway, this has been a great help towards me staying with Firefox. I think it my have been the Comodo online security addon that was slowing some of those pages.

Updated 18/09/2019 - Now using CIS with Cruelsister settings with exception of Firewall auto-block. Stealthed ports and IPv6 Porle. t 546 DHCP. Also now with Internet Security Essentials installed and primarily using Comodo Dragon since it's been updated recently.

Not a great deal different from previous, just HIPS enabled and firewall changes.

Backup solution for Windows is very vague, if you are using Ondrive that's great as a cloud source, but I would also have a HD as a secondary form of backup using Macrium Reflect or similar program. Apart from that great config otherwise.

Yes, sorry, still searching for a free dedicated backup other than OneDrive and the Windows Default. I'll have a look at Macrium Reflect and related software. Thanks

I currently use Windows built-in, but I've used and like Aomei as it has a GUI which I found easier to use than Macrium.

No worries my friend, I also agree with Oldschool's opinion of Aomei, the GUI is much easier to use than Macrium's

I can be a little indecisive when it comes to my security setup. I've liked Comodo with CS settings but I'm after maybe just WD and OS Armor. Will give it a go and see how I get on. I mainly use this for gaming and general web surfing.

 

[ErzCrz]

Trying out WD with OSArmor, which seems to work great. Is SysHardener Harden Windows Settings with SysHardener | NoVirusThanks a good addition to a set and forget setup?

I'm just trying out different things. People have also mentioned Voodooshield but I wonder how much extra things would be to much.

I would stick with WD and OSArmor for now and see how it works for you. That's a simple setup that has proven to be quite effective and popular, especially if you add some of the advanced settings. Forget adding VS as it would be overkill.

 

[ErzCrz]

Thanks I'll try that out for a bit and see how it goes. I think I'll turn on the WD PUP detection via PowerShell

You can use ConfigureDefender to access advanced settings to harden Windows Defender. You may get the stand-alone version here Hard_Configurator — Download

Please edit configuration as well.

Thanks, got that configured with recommended settings and set ConfigurDefender to High. So far so good
