[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 923811, member: 32260"] Thinking about security in the home environment should not be similar to the Enterprise case. Both have very different attack surface. In Enterprises, one has to assume that the breach in the network is highly possible - the answer is the "Zero Trust" security framework. Worrying about malware persistence by modifying shortcuts on the Desktop would be very rational in this case. In Small & Medium Business, the old hardening & whitelisting approach is still very efficient. In the home environment, the standard approach based on good AV + secured web browsing is OK for most users. The chances to be infected are similar to being badly injured in a traffic accident, which can also depend on the users' skills and caution. If one needs more security, then additional protection has to be applied. Any of these solutions has its pros and cons. The stronger the protection, the less usable it will be. Also on Windows 10, the fewer 3rd party real-time solutions, the more stable & unproblematic will be daily work with the computer. [/QUOTE]
