[Local Host]

Nothing to add at the moment.

@ : please kindly consider:

• Enable UAC, at least, at default level.
• Please specify the exact version of Kaspersky product You have installed.
• As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: 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.

Thanks for sharing Your config

Do you use Do not dim (UAC), because the secure UAC desktop takes a long time to load, or another reason?

I appreciate the feedback but:

• I don't need UAC at Default level (it's slow and I want the Desktop always responsive and fast).
• Zemana Anti-Malware > Malwarebytes (don't wanna bloat the Desktop with Software as it's mainly for gaming).
• I won't be doing disk backups as it takes to much space and time, I rather waste formatting and making a clean install if something happens.

It can be slow yes, is the main reason I use "Do not dim", I want the Desktop responsive and fast at all times, which is not possible with default UAC for me.

Based on the reasons you've given for UAC, backup utlities & MBAM, I'll have a difference approach to commenting.

Maybe consider adding to your config

• Scriptsafe & Privacy Possum for Chrome
• Bleachbit could used to replace CCleaner, but that's up to you. Only offering as an open source alternative
• NPE, adwcleaner & Emsisoft Emergency Kit to complement Zemana (zemana can be aggressive).
• Adding Revo Uninstaller to system utilities
• Maybe add OSArmor 1.3 to complement Kaspersky
• Maybe add Sandboxie for more browser security and protection

Apart from this not a bad setup at all! Thanks for posting.

You've kind just copied and pasted what I said. xD
Unless there was a purpose for it, as it's correct info to state?

Forgot to mention I'm using CCleaner Professional and WFC with Strict Rules.

Thanks for the OSArmor recommendation, I'll use it!

Add EEK.

Enable UAC, it can really help to avoid infections.

Follow suggestions about backups, it can be fundamental also in case of infection.

Thanks for sharing.

Alright made some major changes to my Security Configuration, as right now what I need is Security against dangerous 0-day, and not common infections (those are easily avoided with common sense).

 

[harlan4096]

Those changes still are not enough to change risk tag... thanks for sharing

Consider adding a System and Data backup tool.

System: Macrium Reflect
Data: Rollback Rx Home.

Both free.
