ExoGen CyberSecurity - Security Configuration

[ExoGen CyberSecurity]

I didn't tested, I'm using Firefox so I can't say anything.

I don't know, I never got infected since everything is sandboxed. I tested in VirtualBox and it's ok (and yes, it's worth the bother), the ViruScope in version 10 is way better (I'm using is right now).

I'm not using HIPS, I just set everything to be blocked by default (sandboxed) and in Firewall to block any requests and only allow what I say. This way I used CIS for years with no issues and I test real malware on my system from time to time.

Why do you test real malware on your PC and not inside a virtual box ?

Because I work in computer security and when people tell me how amazing "x" product or products I tell them that we should test on our real PCs, I get 5 random samples from my honeypot and add 5 more safe files and we execute them to see how amazing the security product is.

Like you notice when you sent me a message or how I told you here

Someone from work told me how amazing his setup is and he got infected by JigSaw Ransomware so ... Personally I think that most security products are useless and it's all marketing. If you notice I don't even use HIPS, I think it's enough to use some type of sandbox and WD/MSE + Windows Firewall (if you use Windows 10 smartscreen enabled) + UAC set on max.

There is an amazing trick (it's use by some hackers with njRat), you add a digital signature to the malware and you insert inside a portable app or the most common apps that are flagged as malware (7Zip,7Zip ThemeManager and many more).
