[QUOTE="gahnewlinox, post: 872114, member: 86744"] I'll be using Windows 10 for specific tasks but it's important I secure it the best I can. I want to limit third-party software when possible and any software I do use must respect my privacy. What I mean by that is something that doesn't collect data outside of the program itself, doesn't share data with random third-parties, and only collects anonymous data or even no data collection at all. Since I'll be running brain.exe I'm specifically concerned with zero-days and exploits as opposed to more common malware/phishing. I was thinking of using Windows Defender & firewall with OSArmor and SysHardener from NoVirusThanks but I could only find their [B]websites[/B] privacy policy but no privacy policy for their software. I'm also not sure how effective they are with modern zero-days considering they haven't been updated in a while, so any clarification on their effectiveness would be apprecated. I also plan on using Windows privacy tools like Debotnet which might effect Windows Defender's capabilities, though I'm not sure. As mentioned in the title, this config has to be free so paid software is out of the question. Any advice is welcomed! [/QUOTE]
