Huchim's laptop config 2017

[Huchim]

This is a clean install of windows with Appguard at default settings
Using Ublock at medium mode with adguard's filters

I'm using also Sandboxie free on demand for unknown apps and also for chrome in incognito for bank transactions and online shopping

Previously I wasn't using AV but a lot of tweaks in windows like Software Restriction Policies, blocking elevation for unsigned apps and since 1 month I'm with appguard for main protection and sandboxie for unknown apps

This give me a excellent performance and rarely updates with maximum protection with Appguard at lockdown mode

I'd recommend a password manager if your mind plays you tricks and definitly to do system images in case something goes wrong (you can't fully trust Microsoft!). Thanks for sharing!

One question: why win8?

 

[Huchim]

I used to have password manager but I have deleted almost all my accounts and let some bunch of necesary accounts so I don't need it and don't rely on that kind of software, just using different strongs password and two-step verification when is available. I'm agree with system image even if W8.1 is very stable I will use the windows in-buit for that, thanks

@Umbra , Windows 8.1 pro because it was the default on my laptop, is very stable and mainly because there are some programs that run without problems for W8.1, 7, Vista, Xp and I use it for my school (geosciences), examples: surfer (licensed), res2dinv

Ok so you are good to go

Good config! Do you have Windows Defender enabled?

 

[jamescv7]

You can complement it with an Anti-Exe for safe keeping. (e.g Voodoshield)

I would suggest some type of system backup solution.
Nice simple secure config config! Thanks for sharing it

 

[Huchim]

Good config! Do you have Windows Defender enabled?

No, I disabled Windows Defender with SRP.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm expecting to add info about backup solution soon, I'll try some there since I have never used that kind of software

Please add HTTPS Everywhere.

About backup software, I would suggest Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.
