ifacedown's Security Config

[ifacedown]

Hello.

So far Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 isn't light (yet no so heavy) on my system -- and I am running a trial version! I would like to have an AV that would be light on my system - I have a low-end computer. The Webroot license I was using expired a few months ago.

Once I have another light AV, then I would use my VoodooShield Premium license.

Please don't suggest Panda, ESET NOD32/SS, or Avast.

Thanks!

Since you ruled out several AVs already, all I can think of right now is to renew your Webroot, or try Emsisoft, or just use Windows Defender.

Windows Defender in Windows 10 is a good option for AV.With Zemana Antimalware Premium.

Yeah, and my machine was much faster too with that combo. Then I will use again K9 WebProtection and VoodooShield Premium.

A very good suggestion right there, it would work well.

Thanks! My only problem with WD is that it causes lags when it scans exes like: 1) Downloading EXES 2) Opening a folder with EXES. Is there a way I could change WD's bahavior to only scan EXEs when executed? thanks

Thanks, indeed true.

I just want to clarify though that I was only executing malwares from the malware hub some months ago with Shadow Defender Shadow Mode enabled. Maybe I need to edit my Security Config but there is no "Edit Thread", only "Unfollow Thread".

Agree with @Umbra never on the host.There are only a couple safe ways to test malware and these should be followed.
I am using KIS 2017 and I find it to be much lighter than 2016.Much,much better than pre 2016 versions.
Thanks for sharing your config

Never use malware on your host it can end up ruining the computer. Other than that good config.

Hello! Yes, even my low-end netbook can tolerate KIS 2017, especially after doing a full scan, it furrher lightens up. I must admit that one thing that makes me stick to KIS2017 is that its Parental Control suites me well, as a tool to discipline myself... Coz I am the only one who uses this machine.

As I tested KAV 2017 with HMP.Alert on my virtual machine against the petya ransomware I got the feeling that KAV 2017 is a bit buggy compared to KAV 2016. e.g. the realtime antivirus-scanning of kaspersky was disabled and kaspersky shows the windows notification "protection enabled".
In Germany KAV 2017 isn't yet available - maybe because of testing result by the german kaspersky employee? Also the Update from 16.0.0.614 to 16.0.1.445 came months later as on the english Kaspersky-Website.

yes kaspersky 2017 is not yet 100% stable but it is very light and powerful => promising

Yeah that's indeed right. Also the "Secure Connection" disturbs me a bit. I don't need it cause my Router is already connected to a VPN-Server. I already contacted the german Kaspersky-Support for improvement of the install wizard. A customizable installation would be nice, where you can uncheck the installation of some unneeded tools.
