hello harlan, do you use Veracrypt in the OS partition or in some folders? I'm interested if there are problems with kaspersky, I'm testing a similar config in my main laptop but not with tweaks with application folder, rather TAM on and Parental control - blocking download of applications.

Also, with the extensions that you have I can´t blockt the ads of facebook (specialy the video ads on the videos ) it's just annoying.

Great config
I'm adding also syshardener and thinking about OSarmor from nvt in case of some bug of kaspersky

 

[harlan4096]

@Huchim: I use VeraCrypt with a specific volume/file where I have some important data, and I mount it when needed... using for years alongside Kaspersky and no issues until now.

Which version of Kaspersky product are You using? did You enable Anti-Banner Module?

I'm not getting ads, can You provide any example?

OSArmor is not necessary if Kaspersky well tweaked...

I'm getting ads from wired's videos on facebook, yes, I have anti-banner and privacy protection enabled on KTS 18.0.0.405(h)

Sorry, I don't have the knowledge and the time to handle the alerts if I set "interactive mode" and have it well tweaked. I tried some time ago... I decided to go with TAM and really don't know if it's comparable with the "well tweaked"

As You are in K2018, You need to add some extra AdBLocker add-on to Your browsers: uBlock Origin, my config is with the new K2019 which comes with an improved Anti-Banner (adblocker), so I don't need uBlock Origin:

If You are not well experienced with security tweaks, better You stay with TAM on, will be good for You

Are there any updated guidelines on how to configure KIS 2019 to increase security?

 

[harlan4096]

Hum... I guess it has been already commented in many different threads/posts in this forum, anyway recently a user of this forum asked me for the same, and I recorded a video for him with some of the tweaks I have in some systems with KTS2018:

Some tweaks are very strong/paranoid and may break sometimes installations of legit unsigned/and/or/but unknown applications in KSN, so in these cases You may low temporally the protection during installations as showed here:

​

And this is an extra config I have for my user space (previously modifying Windows user default folders to drive D:\), but You may costumize if for Yours as You want:

​

All those tweaks are applicable for K2017, K2018 & K2019 versions...

@harlan4096 I followed your tweaks for KTS and applied it KSCP. On the video you provided I saw a lock icon at the main menu looks like you're using TAM? Is it still necessary to enable TAM after applying these tweaks?

 

[harlan4096]

No, it is not necessary...

Usually I don't have TAM enabled, but sometimes I enable it to test some specific features/bugs...
