Evgeny's config

[Evgeny]

Hey all, this is my config, about year and a half i was infected by some nasty virus, so i had to reinstall my os, (at that time i was not paying attention to the anti viruses programs, Uac is off.

So what do you thing about this config? should i add something else?

Thanks!

If you don't want UAC then go to the alternatives which acts as same for that ----- > Voodoshield; but as much as possible turn on the UAC for your awareness which everything needs your permission to execute.

You may conduct those dangerous test on a isolated environment like Virtual machine or junk computer; unless conduct a system image/ virtualization software like Toolwiz Time Freeze if want to done on a real system.

Other than that its a good configuration already.

Have you ever tried Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper for your backup solution, They both have a good free version. A lot more flexible than Windows backup. Then if you do get infected again you will have a way to get up and running again.

If you play with malware you must create a virtual environment using VM Player or Virtualbox or light virtualization software as already advised.

Maybe Ccleaner is enough for a safe Windows maintenance .
The uninstallers, sometimes delete files or registry keys that should not be deleted.

Good security setup

Hi, I agree with the other suggestions, and in addition I want to suggest you to install Collusion extension for your browser, which let you know which websites are tracking you, for the rest it's a good config. Thanks for sharing it

Definitely enable UAC
CCleaner is usually more than enough
Consider removing one of your uninstallers both are good
I most definitely agree with the suggestion to test and dowload malware samples in a virtual environment or on a testing PC
Good config thanks for sharing it
