[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 852044, member: 75834"] If money were no object, then I would install AppGuard on every Windows machine, for primary protection against remote exploits and loaded documents. If money is an object, then Cruel Comodo is the runner-up. I understand that some find it ridiculous to waste the invaluable HIPS functionality of Comodo Firewall in favor of Auto-Containment. But this is the best solution for me, as set-and-forget is just my style. With AG or CC, I can disable all alerts, and act like it's the '90s again: a time before I knew about drive-by downloads, portsweeps, etc. That said, I don't use AG or CC by themselves. If I may quote a previous post of mine, I’m currently playing with two different configurations in Windows, and a lesser one on the Mac: [LIST] [*]Mac: BlockBlock, RansomWhere, OverSight, ReiKey [*]Windows config 1: Cruel Comodo, AppCheck Free [*]Windows config 2: AppGuard, AppCheck Free [/LIST] They all have limited accounts, CleanBrowsing DNS, Malwarebytes Browser Guard/Extension, Bitdefender TrafficLight, Web of Trust, and HTTPS Everywhere; along with a few hardening tweaks specific to each OS. I also use VT Uploader, LastPass, and NordVPN on my personal devices. For download junkies, or people who may not have me on speed dial, I narrow it down to RansomWhere on the Mac or AppCheck Free on Windows; along with CleanBrowsing, the above-mentioned browser extensions, and some kind of antivirus. For high-risk Windows users, I'll complete their apparatus with SecureAPlus. [/QUOTE]
