Hello, I would very much like to hear your opinions about my security
Realtime Protection: Bitdefender Total Security+Thor Foresight+OSamor.
Hardening: Syshardener.
Second opinion Scanners: Norton Power Eraser+Emsisoft Emergency Kit+Hitman Pro.

Are you going to buy OSArmor for the next release?

 

[Chipicao]

Don't exagerate you don't need those things. BitDefender + SysHardener and Hitman Pro + MalwareBytes + RogueKiller Portable (second scan) you will be fine.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

OSArmor and SysHardner will be subscription based after their next update.
Bitdefender Total Security should be enough for real-time protection.
For general system hardening I would choose Hard_Configurator from @Andy Ful with the basic recommended profile.
As second opinion scanner Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is highly recommended by @cruelsister especially against worms.
I would keep HitmanPro as second second opinion scanner and that's it.
Please enter or update your computer security configuration in Computer Security Configuration to get more feedback.

If you have not experienced any conflicts then continue using the software.

Question is, how many devices are you protecting on your Home network and other Mobile devices?

Have you shared your new Computer Security Configuration ?

If you browse securely most of the time, Bitdefender and SysHardener should be enough. When I practice unsafe browsing, i simply enable a paid VPN which includes extra security protection.

Hey Spawn, I am only protecting one unit(Windows 10 Home 2004), Many thanks for your answer!

Hello again, I forgot, I also use Bitdefender Premium VPN+EkspressVPN, both of them has good speed, though I know EkspressVPN is the most secure IMHO.

 

[amico81]

much does not help much Bitdefender TS should be enough. I a worst case one solution could interrupt another solution to stop the infection.

Oh my god I'm only now hearing about this! Mind linking me to the source please? I couldn't find it.
PS: do I lose access to my current version of SysHardener or can I stay with this version and #freeware?

NoVirusThanks OSArmor

The DEP test of the Exploit Test Tool (HPA) is blocked by OSA. This is a memory test. OSA has no in-memory protection feature , it probably blocked a LOLbins/LOLscripts executed by the test.

If youre only using it for one device then why are you paying for Total Security? and this is extremely overkill, get rid of Thor Foresight, bitdefender is good alone.

I have Edge now so no need to block it anyway for me. I just wanted to let people know that the New Edge is not getting blocked without a custom rule,...

If I read those posts correctly SysHardner (and OSArmor) will be automatically upgraded to the new subscription-based version.
Maybe the portable version will not update automatically, and you can continue to use that " old" version for free.
But only Andreas @NoVirusThanks can give any definite answers.
We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Well, then it's over for me the combo ESET + OSArmor

Super light

Hey I have thought about it and I have uninstalled Thor Foresight.

You can try Symantec sep with just the firewall module ( with out av module) and eset..

IMHO a critical part of security setting if not number one is regular imaging (at least weekly) & those mages & data being saved on more than one external drive or cloud - What ever happens to your system you can be back to your pre infestation in minutes.
