So heres my Older Cousins Config (21 y/o) He's tech savy but not savy when it comes to I.T. Security so he let me be in charge of it and i cleaned A LOT of infections from his laptop (notice the High risk) I don't have a lot of stuff on it due to I haven't been on his laptop in almost a Month now and until recently I tested out some sandboxing, Web Guards, etc. I was going to post this config awhile ago but never got to it.
The only problem is that he has a lot of crap on his laptop so I get a call from him every once in awhile complaining about the comodo pop ups.
So heres the story if you want to know,
He first had McAfee total protection for small businesses (because it was a school computer until he left High school and they said he can keep it) This is where infection number 1 happened... I have no idea how it happened so he said he was just on FB and the Win PC defender rouge popped up..I cleaned that so a few months later he got another rouge (forgot the name) Which I have no idea how he got it (probally from his Music and "Adult" content downloads) Note: this is before I was allowed to control his config.
So he finally let me fix, clean, and setup his security config.
Gave him Avast 6, MBAM, and SAS. (this was around Sept.) Infection number 3 which happened a little over a Month ago. He plugged in his flash drive which contained his Blubster Music/p2p downloader. He got the nasty Security Shield Thanks to the MT guide I repaired his internet (something was blocking me from killing the proxy) So it found a rootkit, got rid of it and ran MBAM, SAS, HitmanPro, and finally CCE In agressive because for some reason the rouge was still there after the MBAM, SAS, and hitmanPro scans. CCE found it all and the laptop is now clean... He asked me to replace his Avast so I said alright I'll give you CIS. He agreed because he was amazed with the CCE, quick repair, auto run ana, and Killswitch. Now he's complaining about CIS... so when I get on his laptop the next time I'll tweak his CIS so he isn't to annoyed.
So theres the long story... figured I'll share to explain some things about the config.
