[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 788823"] The maximum number of security apps you need is 3 (because there is 3 main attack vectors) for single purpose apps and only 1 for suites. - Browsers = sandbox or AV (with webfilter) . - Binaries (exe, etc...) = SRP or Anti-exe or HIPS or AV - Exploits = anti-exploits On Win10, you have already an AV and an anti-exploit, so unless you are picky you just need a binary monitor. When it comes to suites, find one that covers all 3 vectors. I don't count apps that just automatize manual tweaks like SysHardener or ConfigDefender, they don't have permanent processes. [/QUOTE]
