Geri's Config

[Geri]

Hello!
I love this section on the forum, to read all the security softwares you thinker with guys! Now it's my turn to show you what I'm came up with.
I'm currently looking for a good setup in centre with Avira. I would drop Webroot if I had Heimdal, but sadly I missed the giveaway back in august.

So feel free to leave any suggestions I will appreciate it!

Good t see you make backups, just be sure to keep them up to date.

Thanks for sharing.

You have all basis covered.

While I realize WSA is a companion AV, I do not suggest running both AV's at the same time, as it is just more resource usage and redundant. I would run one or the other. WSA being the lighter of the two would probably be my choice.

Salutations,

You could add Sandboxie.Sandboxie should work with Avira. But I am not 100% sure it maybe only Avira Free edition. Also, everybody saying that Webroot will work with sandboxie. So, if you try sandboxie, give us some feedback?

Last time I check Heimdal Pro did not work with Windows 10. Do you feel any slow down?
With your setup?

Also, Hitman Pro Alert has a conflict with sandboxie! To make that sandboxie work correctly
you can replace Hitman Pro Alert with Zemana Antimalware.

Salutations,Friend!

Hi, could you explain in detail that how HitmanPro.Alert would conflict with Sandboxie?
I have ever tied HMP.A with Sandboxie on my virtual machine and I found no conflict at that time.

@Online_Sword,

Sure! On Cyberfox Browser, I keep getting a error message and sandboxie with not start correctly. Once, I remove HitmanPro.Alert
Sandboxie work like a champ! Additionally there was a slow down on 4 of my PC's. Also, I have written
both SandBoxie and HitmanPro.Alert on Wilder Security Forum about this problem. This was
about a month and half ago. You can see my posts.!

Looks good! Thanks for sharing your config with us
I agree with @illumination in that I would run one or the other,WSA or Avira.
Heimdal is not yet Windows 10 compatible but will be soon

Heimdal giveaway is running right now

As for you config, I would drop Avira or Webroot like they said.
Then I would use Sandboxie if you know how to use it

Thank you guys for your suggestions!

Yea I saw the Heimdal giveaway on MT, but I can't participate because of the terms

I will try Sandboxie for sure! However I would keep Avira and build around with other softwares to cover all the security needs. Than again I guess it would be better to run Avira with another companion av, because of the weak zero day protection, or Avira is enough for real time protection? What do you think? I'm a bit confused now (memory usage isn't an issue for me, I have 32GB ram)

Remember to look post # 4 link on Sandboxie! Would like to get some feedback on Avira Antivirus Pro, Webroot SecureAnywhere combine
with Sandboxie. Also,Sandboxie has a lifetime license.

Webroot can be change by numerous alternatives, Crystal Security or SecureAplus if you want a multi reference companion product out there.

Other than that its already a good configuration.

Hi, it is a good config, but I suggest you to install also CCleaner, and add a second browser and add some extensions, like HTTPS everywhere, LastPass, or uBlock.
Thanks for sharing it
