JHomes New Configuration

[JHomes]

Updated my configuration to include Comodo Firewall, also enabled Smartscreen (didn't have it enabled before)

 

[JM Safe]

I would add HTTPS Everywhere.

How did you get infected?

Thanks for sharing.

I think Comodo and KIS are an overkill. You don't need both so i would suggest to remove Comodo. I would also put UAC at max to serve a purpose because at default level it doesn't really do much.
Also i suggest you upgrade to creators update.

Agreed, but if he is not running resource intense software like AAA game titles, or video or photo imaging software,
he may not notice the resource usage of a heavy config like this.
It does look pretty secure, just a bit heavy for my tastes.

You dont need CF, you have KIS. You can replace CF with:
Immunet or Crystal Security or VoodooShield(free products)
or with a paid one(ZAM, MalwareBytes, EAM).

Wife downloaded an attachment, it was WannaCry. I was able to restore the machine but this had me thinking I should have a Firewall.

Thanks for the recommendations. I really enjoy KIS, and for the longest time I didn't think I needed CF but a lot of people recommended it and I got it at a decent price.

The protection would come more so from the auto-sandbox than the firewall. You can alternatively just use CF alone.

Remove Comodo Firewall and use KIS 2017 which has a Firewall.
Thanks for sharing your config

It was only on my wife's (her and I share the same config). When I got the message I rolled back her pc.
