Hi all THis is my current security config

 

[Deletedmessiah]

I recommend to turn on smartscreen. Also system image backup is recommended. Windows built in or good free ones from Macrium, Aomei, Veeam or Acronis. Thanks for sharing your config!

I like your suggestion

 

[Arequire]

Suggestions:

• Set UAC to Always Notify
• Turn on Smartscreen system-wide
• Add an ad blocker to your browser(s) (uBlock Origin, Adguard)
• Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords for each of your accounts (LastPass, KeePass, Dashlane)
• Create a system image backup

Thanks for sharing.

As mentioned above enable Smartscreen and create backups and System Images, my choice for this would be Macrium Reflect and it is free and reliable.

OS Security Updates: Download Updates, but do not auto-install

does windows update in the windows 10 creators update allow this?

Real-time Malware Protection: F-Secure Internet Security, SecureAPlus

simultaneously

Why SmartScreen disabled? It can be fundamental to prevent infections.

Add uBlock Origin.

Follow backup suggestions, it's very important also in case of infections.

Thanks for sharing.

does windows update in the windows 10 creators update allow this?

Yes, using Gpedit. And I believe SecureAPlus can be used with an AV, just like MB & ZAM.

To OP: All the good suggestions have already been made and thanks for sharing your config

Lack of Backup is a huge oversight. You're relying on your other programs, and if they fail you'll have to do a clean install of the OS, losing all of your data.

Don't do that, please, think of the data!

There's lots of free backup solutions out there, I recommend RollBack Rx and Macrium Reflect. Both free, both offer great protection.

Type of User Account: Microsoft Account

LOL
or maybe I miss something in Win10?
Please specify your account type. It must be Admin or Standard.

Please specify your account type. It must be Admin or Standard.

You can only choose Local, Microsoft or iCloud account types in that field.

Please specify your account type. It must be Admin or Standard.

Admin & SUA accounts can be either Local or MS account type. There is no option for selecting Admin or SUA in that particular field.

I log in with my Microsoft account and it has administrator privileges.

I've never ever had any malware infection. I think i don't even need a security solution but just in case i think I've got a lot in these security software. Yeah adblocker i can add. Is this an add-on? I think it's not easy to get infected until n unless you're clicking with eyes and brains closed. But thanks for the suggestions

Yes, using Gpedit. And I believe SecureAPlus can be used with an AV, just like MB & ZAM.

Thanks for you answer!!!

Yes.

It's safer to use a standard user account, and a separate admin account for making changes only.

Greetings .. take the advice of peers. For the rest I see your configuration well ..

But the malware landscape we are facing today, and the storms Ahead, is nothing like before,
I honestly feel sorry to say that I believe none of us could or should ever feel totally safe
(no intention to spread paranoia, but to spread truth).

Interesting point. Yesterday something caused a message from 360 Total Security telling me that a program was trying to interfere with a component of 360. I was uninstalling a utility application when it happened, and I wondered how long before we start to see fake notifications pretending to be our own security software on our own PC or in our browser .

As it turns out the uninstall was trying to mess with WebShield from 360. It wanted to go to a site like many software uninstallers to get a comment from the user. Don't think it was important, but I could see something starting and leading someone straight down the path to oblivion using only simple standard Windows pop ups claiming to be from the system's a-v. Oh well, security devs are probably way ahead of my paranoia on this as they seem to be usually...

Oh yes, nice config but some very good advice too. Raise your hand if an image backup has saved your $#$ repeatedly!

I would enable Smartscreen and implement some type of system & data backup solution.
Thanks for sharing your config

No Smartscreen is risky , and if you get infected , no backup will force you ro reinstall everything.

I use few security programs with few other anti-wirus/malware scaners.
And i also still make backup casue not only virus can harm.. disk can be broken in unexpected moment and what than ?!
