At-Risk Jack Aubry Security Config

[Jack Aubry]

Consider, UAS (USB Attached SCSI), USB3 removable drives no longer enumerate under USBSTOR in Windows 10
If you are using home made protection against unauthorized use of USB drives and smartphones,
such as:
switching start value of USBSTOR and WINUSB services to 4 (for USB drives and smartphones)

Then, you should do the same for: UASPSTOR

Note, That new devices will change the start setting back to 3 if the inf file access is not managed.

I'd like to suggest a second opinion scanner such as Emsisoft EK or Norton Power Eraser.
You should protect your data using a good backup plan on an external support.
Thanks for sharing.

Personally, i think you should consider some extensions like Ublock, HTTPS Everywhere and i'm sure others will give you more suggestions

Consider using a SUA (standard user account) and back up your data either to a cloud or an external device and try to get into a habit of doing it on a regular (ish) basis as if you are unfortunate enough to get an infected machine then that could save your data, likewise for creating system back ups. There are a few free programmes out there that work very well for that, i personally use Aoemi but there are others out there.

@Weebarra: I've already edited Your post to remove uBlock link

 

[JM Safe]

Maybe add ZAM Free or EEK.

Add uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere.

Add Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Important, you need a backup solution. My advice would be to try Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper.

Extensions wise uBlock Origin or Nano Adblocker as a starting block, you can add any other extensions you like after.

Second opinion scanners I'd suggest ZAM Free, EEK and/or MBAM solely for PUPs. If you know there's an infection or PUP on your system (which MBAM free misses) use NPE and ADWCleaner for PUPs.

@Jack Aubry: please kindly consider:

• As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free and Norton Power Eraser, and MalWareBytes 4 Windows Free.
• As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
• Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, and not only in cloud.
• As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service, and some browser extensions (already mentioned uBlock Origin or AdGuard & HTTPS EveryWhere).
• A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
• Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here.

Thanks for sharing Your config

Please consider on demand scanners like Malwarebytes, hitman pro etc. and also please use a system image backup software , don't rely on system restore only as it may not help in some cases.
