HJLBX SSD-Only Security Config

[hjlbx]

GENERAL NOTES:

The primary advantages of the above security configuration include:

• Compatibility between installed software
• Very high-level physical system protection with minimal resource impact
• Once configured, requires minimal maintenance
• Probability that malware could bypass every single security application is miniscule

It works and is more than sufficient for day-to-day computing...

Its primary disadvantage:

• Advanced (well beyond typical use requirements) configuration requires at least medium IT knowledge\experience and which can be time intensive to learn

Good config.

Maybe it's good idea upgrade to W10, W10 store part of pagefile on memory under "system" process.

PD: Actually SSD's doesn't need the same care as first models.

SSD has 5 year mfr warranty so I personally don't care about it dying.

However, I want to keep as much free space as is possible to maintain speed. (I added this point under advantages about drive free space).

Windows and softs are so full of completely needless drive I\Os !

Until W10 and Edge are ready, and soft vendors get their stuff ready too, I'm sticking with W8.1...

You are distracted since you are having all kinds of fun at this moment...

and...

I ain't gonna have any kind of fun with this config since everything is BLOCKED !

 

[Deleted member 178]

Yes i dont have fun either , everything is double-locked.

I have the same thing Sandboxie, voodooshield, 10 windows firewall control and it's boring .-)),everything is locked.

Sure beats Comodo Internet Security overhead, doesn't it ?

AE + virtualization + outbound firewall notification = BLOCKED !

Of course, CIS can be configured to be = AppGuard + NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro + Sandboxie + Windows Firewall Control.

CIS is the only unified security suite capable of replicating the above config - so it is much better than most people understand.

one of CIS weaknesses is its whitelist.

 

[Davidov]

malware can easily get to the whitelist (Some companies on the whitelist are not trustworthy)

@Umbra

The damn thing don't work right... and even if it does... the user don't work right...

Comodo File Rating System is its biggest source of problems - yet it is so simple: Trusted, Malicious and Unrecognized.

Way too little infos about CIS drives me crazy...

 

[hjlbx]

malware can easily get to the whitelist (Some companies on the whitelist are not trustworthy)

ABSOLUTELY !!!

This is why I implement a security config that is file rating agnostic...

Time to eliminate all the BS that leads to needless user frustration and bad experience... =>

Added Shadow Defender as back-up virtualization for when Windows update breaks some SBIE functionality - like now.

You can try disabling superfetch & prefetch to prolong life of SSD. I guess you've 8GB of RAM & samsung 850 EVO.

@Vasudev

It's 12 GB RAM and Toshiba SSD = Model TOSHIBA THNSNJ256GMCU.

I haven't had time to look into all the infos for the SSD; I only assume it is just a rebranded SSD - probably OCZ.

Thanks for reminding me about the SSD tweaks... haven't really done any yet.

Good. BTW, are you using z97 board?

 

[hjlbx]

@Vasudev

TOSHIBA masked the board type and the only infos I can access is: Type 2 - Base Board

So at this moment I do not know.

I tried CPU-Z and HWINFO64 but they cannot extract any additional infos.

Sorry man, I asked about Motherboard. Toshiba makes their own SSD NAND chips.
