Not sure would i benefit any of this or just get annoyed

Syshardener = firewall rules, script blocking, disable un-used windows services
OSA = anti-exploit , post protection
Comodo = default deny+ sandbox ^ Cruel said theres no benefit from using OSA along with cf, but CCAV only has browser protection, i dont think theres any problem running OSA with any sw

You won't get any trouble from OSA, not so sure the same will be true for CCAV

Probably there is no need for OSA or Syshardener.In a case of an unknown threat it will be sandboxed.

Yeah ccav should just run alone, its light very light solution


Anyway i have spend few days trying out anti-exe products and i must admit that ransomOFF is most effective. Its ram hungry, but it doesnt matter since were living in 2018

i always thought the antivirus is the main point, but its not
When im using syshardener with ransomOFF theres nothing to be executed, since everything will be blocked completely from game
Windows defender is getting better all the time and its light solution (imo) without ads and stuff
Forticlient is the best web filtering tool, so i rather cut off extensions and replace them with forticlient

So my current conf is :
Windows defender ( sandbox)
Syshardener ( max settings)
Ransomoff ( simple mode)
Forticlient Web filter

Some may say its overkill but i think i have everything covered now, the hipslite of ransomOFF keeps me informed whats happening and why. Anyways im off from this thread for a while now so i dont spam the frontpage continously

Il probably take a look on advanced settings of RansomOFF next and see if anything conflicts on coming days

Deffo does look a lil overkill but expect it;s fine for your system

Forticlient web filter had problems, it forced youtube on restricted mode

So i decided to remove:
- forticlient
- ransomoff

Ran clean install ( once again)

And installed most easiest solution
+ windows defender sandboxed
+ comodo firewall (cs)

+ bitdefender trafficlight added to extensions

I think its either WD+ ransomOFF or WD + CF

RansomOFF is just too heavy and will conflict hard with anything

What will change in the next one? Hehe

With Comodo (CS) and WD, I do not think you need anything else.

I dont indeed. But i ran syshardener on max settings to avoid most scripts from running, disabled powershell and un-used windows processes.

Only thing i didnt disable is just prefetch service ( better boot times) + ''show hidden system files'' & .bitadmins.exe ( windows updates)

Syshardener + windows defender is enough, but i still want to have comodos container to play with, maybe run palemoon sandboxed aswell

You do remind me a lot of me in the past ; changing security setups almost daily....it becomes an obsession , always looking out for the one that sattisfies you the most I bet your HDD will be happy with all those write and read cycles of constantly installing and de-installing products and reverting back-ups....but in all seriousness : comodo fw with cs settings is more than enough. Always a joy to read you're security thread! Keep up the great work bro!

I do like Comodo, but I feel for my own setup would be very much overkill.

Fantastic setup here @Moonhorse as usual! I enjoy reading about which upgrades you are going for or changing to. Always a good read as @Mr.Wave has said!!!

+1 on that. You should re-name your thread "Moonhorse's Daily Configuration"!

I think this would be funny if he did this.

Great config, almost the same as mine
Not sure if the Malwarebytes and Netcraft extensions are still needed.
Kaspersky Cloud Free has a very good web filter.
