If you had to choose a 3 piece security combo, what would it be?

[wildling]

On a MAC - Bullguard AV, and little snitch. Considering DNSCrypt next, welcome input.

 

[ZeroDay]

Honesty? SRP, KFA and CF. please note I'm choosing 3 security programs not backup software here, but, in all honesty a solid AV, some solid zero day protection and regular system images or snapshots.

 

[overdivine]

i use srp so i would chose adguard, macrium and windscribe

 

[Deleted Member 3a5v73x]

3 softs?

Appguard + rehips + HMPA

Basically my production machine setup.
All attack vectors are covered.

You already posted her. You cannot change your mind.

Hehe, I wont anyway, I tested so many combos with so many softs, none come closer to efficiency than this one.

KSC free (tweaked)
Voodooshield 4.65 (always on)
OS Armor 1.41 (all options checked)

If you check all options in OSArmor, you don't need Voodooshield.

Considering to keep on all the built-in security features of Windows 10 (WD, WF, SmartScreen), I'll choose:

• ConfigureDefender
• SysHardener
• Re:HIPS

Lightweight, effective and no compatibility issues

Looks good

Sandboxie + Appguard + MBAE

Bit lazy with regards to configuring Win10 Anti-exploit.

Thanks shmu26! I was thinking at first, that Voodooshield was better as an anti-exe than OSArmor, so thank you for this tip.

Voodooshield will still be better at blocking signed malware, but if you are anyways tweaking OSA, you can make a custom block rule so it will do that, too.
Alternatively, you can move your Downloads folder off the C drive, and then OSA at max settings will block all downloads from executing.

Signed malware is anyways not such a big problem, because first of all, it is rare for a home user to get hit by it, and second because it will usually spawn an unsigned payload.

Truly grateful for the education I am getting here, thanks again!

WD (antivirus)
simplewall (firewall)
OSArmor & SysHardener
Ublock Origin

 

[Windows_Security]

On Windows 10 Home
- Simple Software Retriction Policy - SRP basic user with MSI run as admin tweak of Symantec - implemented
- SysHardener - disable corporate stuff which normal home users don't use anyway
- Configure defender - utilize all of Windows Defender

On Windows 7 home
- Comodo Cloud Antivirus - use sandbox rules for default deny and build your own set of trusted vendors
- SysHardener - disable corporate stuff which normal home users don't use anyway
- MemProtect free - search on this forum for example setups (e.g. allow chrome to access google folders only)

 

[Dhruv2193]

Anti-exe
2. Firewall(CF or Windows)
3. Regular anti-malware app like emsisoft or mbam

 

[Behold Eck]

Set up on all pc`s(XP, Win7 and Win10)

Toolwiz Time Freeze

Crystal Security/VoodooShield or NVT ERP

Immunet Protect V6.0.8. or V5( No Clam just cloud enabled)

Regards Eck

 

[FrankN209]

W7
CFW 5.12 - SB & D+ = disabled
AppGuard
VPN

 

[Brie]

bitdefender free. HMPA, SYSHARDENER.

 

[DeepWeb]

Firewall: Gryphon Router (I don't have one, pls buy me one lol)
AV: Emsisoft Antimalware
Ransomware protection: AOMEI Backupper Pro

If anything passes the FW and AV, I just restore a backup. Takes less time than a full system scan on an SSD and making sure the malware is truly gone.
