Advanced Plus Security Moonhorse's Security Config 2020

[Moonhorse]

Boring kaspersky config to start new year with . 2019 went with kaspersky free (cloud free later) , WD+ configuredefender or sophos free.

I guess im done with the comodo, they dropped off from the business for me

What im looking for 2020 is completely new free products, probably just swapping between kaspersky cloud free & sophos free ( looking something to pair it with) when im doing clean install after big windows patches > spring update > autumn update

Ps. no system backup since i clean install everytime from usb stick where i keep latest ISO. available( +3 times a year) i dont tend to keep anything on my pc except browser for networking

You should add an Image System BackUp solution...

I missed your daily configurations

i could do that right now, from now... cheers

I missed your daily configurations

it feels like nothing can compete with kaspersky cloud free

11.1.2020

Replaced kaspersky cloud free with sophos home premium ( free version )

I dont have to disable kaspersky script on browser to see EV certificates from firefox rather than from kaspersky

Also web filter is tweakable, even the phishing/malware protection is probably bit worse than kasperskys, but i have added netcraft + malwarebytes browser guard as backup

 

[harlan4096]

In Kaspersky there is already an option to do so, and not to disable script injecting

1.2.2020 update.

- removed sophos home premium free

+ installed Comodo internet security
- enabled proactive config
- block unrereqocnize files
- heurestic = high

Check pictures on config, above

Its been 4 months without update, killswitch isnt working still......comodo sucks at the moment...but im going to run it to see if something gets fixed soon

Yikes I spend some time with Comodo IS & tried to get it to work reliably, in the end it was a case of throw the PC though thew window (expensive but a near thing) or move on to an alternative - I admire your tenacity with Comodo

 

[Moonhorse]

Got rid of comodo internet security

Did clean install, for new config as @stefanos is using bugdefender too

Realtime protection : Bitdefender free

Browser : Vivaldi
- ublock origin ( medium mode)
- Bitwarden password manager
Only few ://flags to avoid breaking vivaldi, since most of settings are built-in on browser, the antivirus web filter is doing as good as browser extension so i wont install that. I rarely install anything so web filter is only thing i promote and it feels like bitdefender is better than kaspersky there...aswell bitdefender wont break my EV certificates when im using vivaldi and wont inject into browser

And as bitdefender is doing some caching, my OCD with the scanning is gone

 

[Moonhorse]

Replaced vivaldi with edge dev, Added CIG, disabled tls related flags from chrome since bitdefender is using tls 1.2, added https everywhere back

 

[Moonhorse]

22.4.2020

- Removed bitdefender
- Removed edge developer browser
- Removed geek uninstaller

+ Added Kaspersky cloud free ( default settings, only added blacklist filter on web filter)
+ Comodo firewall ( Internet security config....everything enabled but HIPS is disabled by default)

Vivaldi browser ( they added adblocking/ tracker blocker feature as built-in where you can add filters yourself)
Extensions:
- Bitwarden password manager
- Netcraft

First time using revo installer free, and its definitely better than geek uninstaller free

Vivaldi filters

7.7.2020

Moved from comodo firewall to Voodooshield free
Windows 1909 > 2004
Vivaldi > Firefox
Updated config + added picture of ublock origin filters

[Moonhorse]

- removed kaspersky cloud free
- removed vooodooshield

+ installed comodo internet security
+ kaspersky extension replaced with bitdefender trafficlight

Its either kaspersky, comodo or wd for me, and as im using firefox i prefer comodo

 

[Moonhorse]

- Removed comodo internet security

+ added sophos home premium ( free, not paid) , because of great signatures , good as on-demand scanner, ai
+ Comodo firewall ( cruelsister settings) , because it covers everything
+ Firefox as main browser, since sophos wont work on brave, about:config is overpowered
+ Netcraft, as freemium version of sophos only blocking malware + categories like gambling, adult content etc. what ive chosen

Don't you think Microsoft Defender + Comodo Firewall would be a better option nowadays? Sophos Home is heavier on my system and the Defender's signatures improved a lot too.

If you use new edge or use configuredefender/ windows pro, yes ..i just wanted to have some extra with the firefox while using comodo firewall, i dont like ksc or bitdefender as they dont fit so well it

I had to choose between avg/avast & sophos as they dont require extension on browser

 

[Moonhorse]

Update 9.12.2020

Clean install + removed most of windows apps / bloat with revo uninstaller

+ Installed new version of Comodo Internet Security ( using new lightDB, enabled by default) + Proactive config enabled ( means everything, even HIPS is enabled)

Brave browser + Bitwarden extension

No log-in security? No password, no pin, nothing?

I dont see point as im not saving anything to computer im just using browser and everything erases on exit anyways

i store all of my pictures / videos on cloud/ external storage

Maybe i set up one when our 5 yo moves from youtubekids to computer games
