Advanced Security Morro Security Configuration 2025

[Morro]

The biggest change is that I switched from Bitdefender TS to ESET Smart Security Premium. And went back to Bitwarden and also NextDNS. (NextDNS is for now, I could change that back to Quad9. )

As for maintenance tools, I still use these.

* Windows own tools.
* Wise Diskcleaner.
* Driver Store Explorer
* For software updates, I run this command once a week in Powershell.

winget upgrade --all --include-unknown --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

If you use all the security features of next DNS it should be as good as quad9 (assuming it's comparable to DNSEU zero with providers etc)

Anyway it's a really good simple setup with great performance

If you ever wanted to make it more complex then adding firewall rules from Andy ful tools

Using exploit guard settings from this as a base GitHub - neohiro/ExploitProtection: Windows Exploit Protection Settings (Ultimate) as well as disabling V8 would have helped a lot against some advanced attacks

Btw you don't need ublock as brave AdBlock you already have is more advanced then chromium version of ublock

If you wanted to add extensions for pishing malware etc use only those from popular security companies and ones that aren't heavy

Personally here is some I use Hot Take - extensions can help a lot against phishing
(If any extension is missing from the store I could send a crx file )

Why leave bitdefender TS?

Why leave bitdefender TS?

- I paid for a security suite and still got an add from them. (Trying to push the higher tier.)
- It has around 16 to 20 or so running processes, and on my PC it was using between 700 MB to 1 GB of memory. (Not a real problem with 32 GB memory, but still.)
- For me personally, the customer service was not good. Only in the beginning was I helped good. After that, when there was something that I asked about, it almost always felt a bit rude, or like they were not interested.


Now do not get me wrong, the program itself works really great, but those things above combined was finally enough for me to not continue the subscription. ESET Smart Security Premium has only 5 running processes, and in total seems to only use around 87 / 88 MB. Compared to BDTS that is a huge difference.
