midi3m's security configuration

[midi3m]

Hello, Here's my security configuration

 

[frogboy]

I would like to suggest a backup solution for you such as Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper, both have a good free and reliable solution for you.

You could also add uBlock Origin and HTTPS as browser extensions.

 

[midi3m]

thanks for your suggestions

Hello,you should consider having a couple of on demand scanners for your setup like: Malwarebytes and Hitmanpro
Bitdefender and Malwarebytes Premium work together like a charm(I have that combination on my PC and I have never had issues That I could not Handle.)
And a Password Manager would be a good solution, perhaps LastPass

 

[Atlas147]

would also add a password manager like lastpass or keepass depending if you prefer an online or offline manager just so you don't lose your passwords

 

[Arequire]

I would suggest:

• Turn UAC on Always Notify
• Add a/multiple second opinion scanners such as Zemana Antimalware Portable or HitmanPro
• Add HTTPS Everywhere and an ad blocker to both your browsers. uBlock Origin or Adguard are recommended
• Use a password manager and use it to generate unique, long passwords for each account. I use Keepass myself but Lastpass is popular too
• Create a system image backup using AOMEI Backupper or Macrium Reflect so you can restore your OS if somewhere goes wrong

Thanks for sharing.

+1 for these suggestions.

You can follow Arequire's step for your security setup

Other than setting UAC to default and adding another on-demand scanner like Zemana, you are set.

Hello,
I would recommend Lastpass or keepass (I use the two, LP for personnal use, Keepass+Keefox for my job)
and uBlock Origin as an adblocker on Firefox
I would put UAC on default.
After reading advise here, I've tried Zemana free and I kept it.

First two important issues to attend to are UAC enabled to at least default setting,preferably set to max,and some type of system & data backup solution.
What version of Bitdefender are you using? Internet Security,Total Security?
On demand scanners are not your real time protection therefore I would consider adding an on demand scanner(s) such as Malwarebytes Antimalware,ESET Online Scanner,Zemana Antimalware,etc.
Consider HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy badger in Chrome as well as uBlock Origin for an adblocker.
Thanks for sharing your config

Why UAC disabled? It is fundamental to enable it to avoid possible infections.

Please add ZAM Free and MalwareBytes.

Please add uBlock Origin.

Add HTTPS Everywhere and follow suggestions about backups.

Thanks for sharing.
