Advanced Security kev216 laptop config 2023

[kev216]

My current setup. Nothing very special, I like to keep it simple. Laptop is used mainly for browsing and streaming media.
Suggestions are always welcome!

A full system backup tool would be interesting, with tools such as Macrium, You can recover Your system very fast, and save the work of reinstalling the system and apps again.

Thanks for sharing

No full system backups only backup important files. If something went wrong i'll reinstall windows.

Do you run a batch file or have some other quick way to setup a new install?

When I had Norton 360 awhile back it used to block a site I like (movies123), and there was no way then to go to site anyway, (granted the site can be a virus nightmare for ads redirects and unwanted downloads) but having Kaspersky blocked everything and allowed me to watch movies while Norton web protection did not, has this changed since do you know?

No, I currently don't have a quick way other than a complete reinstallation. Never had to do that on this laptop though.

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll take a look at it. I've played with acronis trueimage in the past, but since that's not free, macrium would be a better option.

Don't know about that particular site, but you can add website exceptions in the firewall.

How to add website exception to firewall in Norton 360

Website is https: w/o SSL but I trust it. This happened when I updated/enhanced my Norton protection.
