NoahTheWinUser security config (free of charge)

[NoahTheWinUser]

Hi,
What do you think of my security config?
I am thinking about purchasing/installing Shadow Defender, what do you think?
EDIT: I'll not use Shadow Defender, because I want my configuration to be 100% free of charge.

Hello Noah,
First set UAC to always notify. I'm not sure about crystal security and shadow defender.Try this zemana antimalware Free Key (It is a good product and use it as on demand scanner or try EEk). Extensions are Ublock,ad blocker, Adguard Free key. And install Comodo firewal.
Thanks for sharing

Nice config. I do not think Shadow Defender is absolutely needed, but would not be a bad addition for sure. Consider:

- Use a good content blocker like uBlock Origin
- Try Macrium Reflect for system image backups
- Add a zero-day solution like Comodo Firewall or Voodoshield (both free)

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your reply! I will set UAC to always notify. Does Zemana Free remove malware, or does it only scan for them and asks for payment to remove?

Thanks for your reply! I'm happy you like my config. I'll check out the software you mentioned!

First consider some type of system imaging & data backup solution.
Macrium Reflect & AOMEI Backupper offer good free system backup solutions and preferably an external drive for data.
Consider adding an ad blocker such as Adguard which you can get a premium key here MalwareTips Giveaway - ADGUARD 3 Days Unlimited Giveaway
or uBlock Origin in Firefox.
Consider adding an additional on demand scanner(s).
Consider CCleaner for system optimization.
Thanks for sharing your config

Thank you! I'll look into the software you've mentioned. CCleaner won't damage the registry, will it?

It allows you to make a backup just in case.
However for the many,many years I have used it I have only once had to use the backup.
I would say it is very safe.

Backup is a must. It's absolutely worth it.

 

[NoahTheWinUser]

Thank you, everyone replying! I'm currently looking into the softwares you've recommended. May I ask, is Crystal Security a reliable AntiVirus & AntiMalware suite (in combo with Windows Defender)? I am not very sure about that, since I once noticed a delay in Crystal's process/file blocking (could've been for some other reason though, not sure) and also, it requires UAC permission at every boot, but I've noticed sometimes it does not even ask for UAC at boot. So, could you people please recommend another 3rd party free of charge antimalware/antivirus suite (with real-time protection) that can replace Crystal Security - and work in combination with Windows Defender (or if it's good enough to work on its own: replace Crystal Security AND Windows Defender)? Thanks!

Alright, cool!

Backup is a must. It's absolutely worth it.

Are you referring to PC backup with like AOMEI/Macrium? Or backup of registry in CCleaner?

 

[NoahTheWinUser]

Try Macrium Reflect for system image backups

Is the free version sufficient?
EDIT: already answered in another user's post in this thread.

 

[NoahTheWinUser]

I have installed uBlock Origin.

 

[NoahTheWinUser]

I have installed CCleaner.

 

[NoahTheWinUser]

I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Maybe FortiClient as antimalware/AV? Forticlient - Next Generation Endpoint Protection
And Cybereason RamsonFree for anti-ransomware?

I recommend you to try Windows Defender+Voodooshield free only. You won't need anything else for real time protection if you have normal usage and common sense.
Voodoshield is far superior than any anti Malware on real time because it packs both heuristics and a permanent Virus total scanner for all files automatically.

Thanks very much for that suggestion! I will try that and let you know how it works!

Grab your free keys from given links. Zemana Antimalware have two types free/premium. Use zemana as on demand scanner.
Stay safe

Instead of Shadow Defender, use Rollback Rx. You need a backup tool too so this covers both needs. It's got a paid and freeware edition, the Home Edition is the freeware so that would keep your config free of charge

CCleaner is not an on-demand scanner.

Follow suggestions about backups.
