[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 764579, member: 37647"] 1 You can and should use SysHardener, you have the know-how. It's a great way to set up your first layer of protection, which is OS hardening. But uneducated users should treat SysHardener with prudence and caution. If they flip on protections at whim, and forget what they did, they can get into trouble. 2 Some of the WD advanced settings can do things your other software can't do. However, you don't have to go all-or-nothing with it. You can enable the mitigations that you think might help you. For instance, if you don't use MS Office, then you don't need certain ASR mitigations that are MS-Office-specific. But if you do you use MS Office, then ASR is superior to your other softs in that regard. 3 There are two WD advanced settings that max out the cloud protection. I don't like them, because they cause delay in the launching of some software. If you enable the ASR rule for "Block... unless a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria", then you don't need maximum cloud, IMO. [/QUOTE]
