Gandalf_The_Grey's Security Configuration

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Looking for a light and user friendly security config.

Looks good to me, nothing to add.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice config, Thanks for sharing!

The system image is basically a mirror identical copy of everything that is on your pc, it is a copy of Windows, programs, system settings and files present in your computer. Using this backup, you can restore the system if, for any severe error your system will no longer work well.
That is very important to have a working system image.
The easiest way is to use app like Macrium Free or other of your choice

 

[Vasudev]

Consider some AV rescue like Kaspersky Rescue Disk, Bitdefender Rescue CD and so on in case some malware creeps in.

I'm glad you're here Mithrandir! How's your journey to the Lonely Mountains?

Nice config! Thanks for sharing!

 

[DardiM]

Thanks for sharing your great Security config

 

[DJ Panda]

Looks good! Be sure to create a system image and add Zemana Anti Malware for scanning.

 

[Exterminator]

Consider a system back up solution.
Your config looks good!! Thanks for sharing it

Qihoo + Voodooshield is going to be merciless on the malware, for sure. You could even go to Mordor with a setup like that.
Just make a system image backup, in case they push you off a cliff or something.

Of course together with common sense.

Thanks I will look into it. Planning to do a clean install after the Anniversary Update of August. After that a system image would be a great idea.

Good configuration, just follow advices about system backup. You can use for example: Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Good configuration, everything is well intact.

Optional: Have another backup browser for your emergency and convenience.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Good configuration.

Replaced Qihoo 360 Total Security with Symantec Norton Security Deluxe.

Replaced Qihoo 360 Total Security with Symantec Norton Security Deluxe.

Good move, no self respecting wizard uses Qihoo
Seriously though, good config, thanks for sharing .

Thanks, I really like 360 Total Security as a free av, but for some reason my laptop has wifi disconnecting issues with almost all av's (I have tried a lot of them). So far with Norton Security no disconnects and it is also very light on resources. If it stays this way I will also install it on the laptops of my 2 kids, our android tablet and the android phone of my wife. Our other phones are Windows phones and an old Nokia so the 5 licences of the deluxe version are enough for me.

After I got blue screens with Norton Security (still not completely compatible with the anniversary update) I had to change AV's once again...
So Norton and Emsisoft don't work on my laptop. I'm back to the free AV's.
For the moment I'm using Bitdefender Free Beta.
It runs great on my laptop, but I'm not completely sure of it's level of protection...
Any suggestions for a clean (not bloated) free AV with good protection that I could use together with VoodooShield (running in smart mode) ?
