[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1045821, member: 32260"] When using Hard_Configurator you have Security Baseline + SRP adjusted to the home environment. You can also use several predefined configurations with a few mouse clicks and easily inspect the blocked events. Hard_Configurator includes the collective knowledge of many members on MalwareTips and some from Wilders Security forums.(y) Some hardening tweaks from Security Baseline can be useful at home, but some can decrease the default security on Windows Home. So, advanced knowledge is required when applying such hardening at home. Several tweaks are not necessary, because they are applied by default on Windows Home. The problem is that Security Baseline is for Administrators who should understand the consequences of such hardening and can adjust the configuration to their needs. It is usually applied on computers with a static setup of installed applications. Security Baseline requires inspecting Windows Event Logs to adjust the configuration and solve possible problems when something is silently blocked. Generally, such hardening can be too complex for most users at home and often will produce more trouble than it's worth. Some advanced users could use the adjusted Security Baseline + Hard_Configurator, but this can significantly increase the time needed to maintain such complex hardening. I do not recommend doing it. :) [/QUOTE]
