Basic Security KP1512's Security Config

[kp1512]

Hi

New user on the site.

I have the above installed and know I have room for improvement so wanted to get peoples opinions

The only other thing I would add to the above is that I have Norton configured so that all applications need permission to access the Internet.

Nice config, but I have some suggestions :
-Add Ublock Origin to your browser
-Add HTTPS Everywhere

Thanks for sharing your config

Hello kp1512,
I would recommend removing Malwarebytes from real-time protection, just leave Norton, also add some On-demand Scanners, Zemana Anti-Malware, HitmanPro or Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

 

[kp1512]

So you mean remove Malware totally - buy Zemana?

Is MWB no good anymore?

My advice is to remove Malwarebytes completely, or just disable its real time scanner.
Zemana is fine at the free version, just as a scanner. If well tweaked, Norton+uBlock Origin will give you great protection alone.

Thank you for the input

When you say Tweak - what do you mean? For instance I have disable automatic program in Norton so that any request for launch and internet access needs explicit permission. I have enable all the logical scan options as well and perform daily scans. For uBlock Origin I have installed defaults.

I agree, if you want an extra-layer of defense you just can complement with Voodooshield free or OSarmor (when will be in definitive release, it's beta now).

Tweaked means playing with the settings until you find the perfect setup for you that enhances the suite protection for yourself. For example, for uBlock Origin I always add hpHosts and disable third-party frames, but for some people it might be overkill.
It is really about doing research and having some fun

Get yourself a secure password manager. Most should import your browsers' saved credentials.

On-demand scanners do not include the Real-time, there are differences between the two.

Spawn / Brod56 - thank you for your input

Ive made some changes and added stuff to my build and updated the above.

I wanted to ask about Voodooshield and general Anti Exe elements

Would adding this be overkill?

@kp1512: please edit Your config -> On-demand Scanners, and delete there Norton Security Suite, since it not an on demand scanner.

Also You may add as on demand scanners: MalwareBytes Premium, ZAM Free & EmsiSoft Emergency Kit.

Having Norton Security Suite + MalwareBytes for Windows Premium, I think You don't need VodooShield...

Thanks for sharing Your config

 

[kp1512]

Harlan4096 - thank and done.

I think at this stage then I am covered? Only slight niggle I had was to perhaps use Sandboxie for browsing for ultimate protection?

The use of Sandboxie is always welcome and interesting, try it if You are able to manage it properly
