Eugen's Config

[Eugen]

Hi there,
this is my recent config.
I'm open for any advice and suggestions to improve my security level. TIA.

Could you recommend any malware, adaware and registry cleaner except of ccleaner. (freeware of course )

I would add a on demand scanner, and would add some sort of back up for your system. That being said, i have to ask... Firefox 10?

For antimalware u can use MalwareBytes Antimalware or HitMan Pro, For registry and adware cleaner u can try Glary Utilities or Wise Care 365 Free. U can even try Auslogics registry cleaner, Or the best option would be Iobit Advanced System care Free. I would recommend u to try Ashampoo winOptimizer 10. U can get free licence here .

Agree with On-demand scanner options and a backup. Thanks for sharing your config

I use Firefox on a Windows 8.1 system too! As I read down the threads I thought: "..wow, Windows 8.1 must be more awesome & secure with Comodo IS since Eugen has had no problem browsing w/Firefox 10!" *Laughing*

I agree with purshupro's recommendation of Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/ & Hitman Pro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro ..those others I'm going look into trying too! Good move using Sandboxie.
Thanks for sharing your config!

thank you for sharing all your knowledge with me I installed malwarebytes and winoptimizer 10 for now.
for backups I actually use my external hdd. but I only backup pics, vids and some software (only .exe files).

I don't trust this backup tools. I rather prefer doing a hard reset and reinstall all programs if my system is infected

Yes I think that sandboxie is a very nice tool to try out new software or if browsing on unknown risky pages

Do you think that I need both of them. malware bytes and hitman?

 

[Rahadian Putra]

Since both of them (MBAM and Hitman Pro) doesn't provide real time protection (the free version), so yes you can use both of them if you want, just to make sure everything is ok
And perhaps for better protection is to install security add on for FF like Ad Block, WOT, ect.

It's important to choose what you're most comfortable with. In my (humble) experience, it couldn't hurt. Just be sure to back up your files. Hitman Pro (free malware removal for 30 days) amazingly found 233 items (cookies) which freed up my older XP system. This interpreted as faster start-ups! Malwarebytes, used on our Windows 7 64 bit, found 1 lone cookie as Windows 7 has very effective UAC safeguards, firewall, & AV. Lastly, Hitman Pro has yet to find anything on the Windows 8.1 which uses only the stock Firewall & Defender AV included with the system. This may be due to sensible downloading together with (& most likely) Sandboxie doing it's containment job! Why not try both?!
