Hey :) the reason why I dont run a backup software is because I have all my "important" data stored on my external Hard Drives.
But I guess I should take a look into it. Is there anything I should take into account if I setup a backup software? Thanks for suggestion :)

Nice config! Thanks for sharring it :)
I would consider some type of backup solution such as the 2 free options suggested by @frogboy
You might consider an additional browser as a backup also.

Pretty fine configuration. :)

Just add a backup browser with same extensions use.

Snapshots are handy to restore any undo changes anytime especially if your System Restore fail.

Use a VM if you play with malwares
 
Hello @J4YYy. Thank you for sharing your configuration. It looks to be well thought out which may indicate you have read more than just a few good posts here on MalwareTips.:) Furthermore Kaspersky I.S. is considered among the top security suites!

I would like to suggest trying Firefox as a secondary browser. Similarly to cars, even if you happen to prefer one over the other, there is no reason you can't have both (kind of like peanut butter & jelly) when each offers very different qualities of their own.;) Here's an article I've ejoyed which discusses just that Chrome vs Firefox - WikiVS
If you'd like to download Firefox you'll find a link beneath it's logo!:p

Whichever browser you use, as an advanced user you may already have experiences opening online sessions inside of a sandbox as an effective measure against unseen exposures to infection. If not, allow me to introduce Sandboxie. It is effective and it is free. Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

Finally, welcome! It's nice to meet you on this wonderful site!:D

yep, u got me :P I visit MalwareTips for quite some time as a Guest but yesterday I decide to become a Member :)


I updated my config and added a changelog. :D
 
Good setup.
ESS 9 seems improved especially in online banking and exploits protection.
Some bugs were reported, as "problems of filtering, cannot filter the http traffic".
I haven't tested it, hows it going?:)

I want HIPS and firewall configured correctly for best protection without having bunch of load on computer. Could you please tell best way to optimise set or export a setting file ?
