Advanced Plus Security Moonhorse Windows Config 2023

[ForgottenSeer 94633]

Is it possible to check the installed version of the virus databases from the program itself? - as it was in the older version? I do not see this here.

I was also curious about new Avira Free and now trying on my laptop. Confirmed, very low system impact
I found a "special" way to avoid Avira VPN and Optimizer (useless for me) running in memory

I did the same with HiBit Uninstaller
Tools/Service Manager

This is now my windows 11 config as i got new desktop

Realtime protection is F-secure internet security

as browser im using firefox with bitwarden & ublock origin

quad9 as dns

Might purchase OSA later probably,..

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Simple Windows Hardening could be a good alternative for OSA. As confirmed by @Shadowra .

21.10.2022

- Removed F-secure due banking protection messing with payments

+ Reinstalled windows 11
+ Microsoft defender
+ SAC Enabled

From firefox i moved back to microsoft edge

I run defender on defaults , might add netcraft to browser safety

 

[CyberTech]

From firefox i moved back to microsoft edge

Why? you always change the browser

 

[oldschool]

might add netcraft to browser safety

I use Emsisoft in non-Edge browsers, but Netcraft is also a good choice.

+ Replaced microsoft defender with avg free, but decided to test if those cheapish kinguin avg internet security keys work ( costs 1,5 eur) and suprirsely it worked....
So im using Avg internet security as my main antivirus

+ Replaced edge with firefox once again

 

[Moonhorse]

Updated config to 2023

- SAC off by choice

Continuing with the AVG internet security , interested to go with wisevector later probably as avg/avast arent supported with wisevector currently

I would wait with WiseVector till the developer show up again here at MT.
Not seen in this new year, the website is very slow and the last new version was WiseVector StopX V3.07 from June 3, 2022.

Second update of 2023

- Removed AVG internet security

CLEAN INSTALL

+ Added avast ultimate ( hard mode enabled, strict ransomware protection)
+ Avast secureline VPN

+ KVRT as second opinion scanner thanks to cruelsister

So i bought cheap 13$ , 3 year , 10 device license & Covered All family devices with avast ultimate

Added avast ultimate ( hard mode enabled, strict ransomware protection)

Any reason to replace AVG isn't AVG and Avast basically the same or is it just because you got a better deal on Avast.

Just wondering was AVG/Avast like resource wise I see you used F-secure is as light as that.

Just got better deal on avast than avg

Im running high end gaming pc so i dont really see any difference between AVAST/AVG/F-secure unless i check process explorer , but on old family laptop i have f secure running and for sure its lighter than avast/avg

 

[Moonhorse]

finally got my GPU card 3080 back and system is once again running fine

-Did clean install-

- Uninstalled avast ultimate

+ my current setup is:
- Microsoft Defender
- SAC on evulation mode
- Microsoft edge with bitwarden
- Adguard windows


Current licenses i have:
- F secure 1 device / 3 years
- Avast ultimate 10 device / 3 years
- Trend micro 5 devices / 1 year

I'd Like to use trend micro but is not doing that well on malwarehub
