nice config dude! the only thing I would personally change is setting UAC to max , just to be that tiny bit extra safe thanks for sharing it with us!

 

[frogboy]

A good config, nothing to add here.

Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[imsoadude]

I was looking at that while filling out my config. I've just changed it now

 

[Daniel Hidalgo]

Looks excellent, my nothing to add is very balanced and good.
Thanks for sharing your config.

Looks awsome! I, personally, wouldn't use Windows Firewall, or at least would use some Advanced Windows Firewall Manager. But it's a personal opinion, you're safe. Keep it up!

 

[aragornnnn]

Badass config thanks for sharing this!

 

[MalwareBlockerYT]

Awesome free config thanks for sharing!

 

[tim one]

Just saying very nice and complete config, thanks for sharing with us!

 

[Soulbound]

Very decent config. Nothing really to add. I would personally remove all extensions aside from adblocking one (tho I still would recommend Adguard).

One thing about HTTPS plugin: obsolete for the majority of time. use of extra resources in my opinion.

 

[imsoadude]

I had thought about that as most sites already use https by default but you never know. I find that it doesn't really cause a slowdown although it seems to be using 80mb looking in the chrome task manager at the moment.

Pretty good configuration.

Everything is well intact.

 

[Exterminator]

Very nice free config! Avast Hardened Mode/Aggressive with Windows Firewall is a good combo.
Thanks for sharing your config

Added Free File Sync as my file backup option instead of copy and paste, more efficient and easier to maintain

Anyone know of a way to make the uBlock Origin block page to look nicer? Right now I am putting adblock plus on all my friends and familys computer as the block page is a bit much but I want the ability to add different filters that work in ublock but not abp.

 

[imsoadude]

If no one knows anything about that. Does anyone have recommendations on which filters to use with adblock plus? Right now I have the Malware Domains, Adware Filters, Spam404 and Fanboys Ultimate enabled but willing to change as I don't want to have too many and bog down browsing.

 

[jamescv7]

@imsoadude: Malware Domains + Easy List Filter = optimum adblocking already.

No need for other filter liss cause it just create redundancy.

 

[imsoadude]

I ended up taking your suggestion and took off Fanboys Ultimate for Easylist+EasyPrivacy as well as I added the adblock warning removal list.

Today my trail of HitmanPro Alert ran out so it has disabled the exploit mitagations and now just does most of the risk reductions and safe browsing. I have added Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free to make up for the exploit part, but there seems to be some incompatibilities which I expected but still tried anyways.

Will likely want to have one or the other now. Which would give me more protection? HitmanPro Alert Free (Expired Trial) or Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free?

OTHER CHANGES:
- Google Chrome Addons Removed HTTPS Everywhere, Added Go Back With Backspace
- Currently testing AOMEI Backupper to replace Macrium Reflect Free

 

[jamescv7]

Since you have expired anti-exploit module then better rely to alternative one.

MBAE has been continuously improved through the years including strong exploit mitigation hence worth to have on a system compare to their anti-ransomware tool.

 

[imsoadude]

Added Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware as another free layer of security to try out. Wanted to try Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware but kept getting driver failed message on installation. Any other free anti-ransomware recommended to check out?
