hopefully_secure's config

Here's my config, it probably won't change very often.

Welcome to MT , looks like a pretty good config, though I would recommend Adguard over Adblock Edge.

I knew I forgot something when I reinstalled Windows last month! Thank you. I will switch those out now.

Good config! I think you should consider installing Sandboxie or Shadow Defender.

I wish I could use Sandboxie, it has a conflict with 360 TS that I can't seem to fix. I'll look more into it, maybe I can figure something out. I have heard of Shadow Defender, I haven't looked into it though, thanks for the suggestion!

looks good! Thanks for sharing your config

Removed: EMET 5.0

Added: Unchecky, Norton Power Eraser, TDSSKiller, PrivaZer, 360 Web Threat Protection (FF), Dr. Web CureIt!, ESET Online Scanner, Adware Cleaner, Youtube Center (Chrome, FF)

Is it worth having an anti-exploit? EMET breaks a lot of things and it is annoying to fix.

 

[MalwareFire]

Great configuration

Keeping your OS and software updated should be a priority over using an Anti-Exploit software to protect you. Alternativel, you can always use SBIE to isolate your web browser, that way any exploits for any plug-ins (ie. Flash, Java, Reader) are contained.

Edit: I am sure you do not need that many on-demand scanners. Malwarebytes Free, HitmanPro or ESET Online Scanner should be sufficient.

Okay, thanks! I keep getting this error, "SBIE2203 Failed to communicate with Sandboxie Service: *GUIPROXY_00000007 - chrome.exe [C0000002]", every time I have tried to use Sandboxie but I will look into it.

Removed: 360 Total Security, 360 Web Threat Protection (Chrome), Download Ninja, Sandboxie, herdProtect Scanner, EEK

Added: avast! 2014 Free, HTTP Switchboard (Chrome), GlassWire, IDM, Autoruns

360 TS still has too many issues and false positives, same with 360 IS, so I have just gone back to avast!.

Very nice security config, thank you for sharing.
It's very similar to mine except I have Adguard and Sandboxie installed also.
You could try these as well and I think you will be pleased.

Removed: Glasswire

I love that program and the idea of it but I can't justify using it if it is using 200mb+ of memory constantly.
