Slowly moving from Chrome (portable) to Firefox (portable).

Moved Privazer to USB toolbox, CCleaner is enough and I use Shadow Defender.

Playing with new Windows 10 Insider, Windows Defender Security Center looks good.

Chrome (Portable) is not true portable apps; profile will always reset on another PC. Firefox (Portable) moved to usb toolbox.
VS has problem with updates for Firefox Nightly. VS is causing delay when turning on shadow mode.
I am multibooting Ubuntu 16.04, Windows 10 Insider and Windows 7
My main OS for work is Windows 7, Ubuntu is for university, and Windows 10 is for fun (testing and gaming).
I am using Firefox (stable) with ReHIPS for work.
Cent (portable) with Sandboxie with container folder in ramdisk is for web browsing.
Firefox Nightly is for testing new functions.
Extensions are tweaked to work together.
Updates are automatic, but they are delayed for 1-3 days to avoid problems.
I am using mainly portable apps and I have USB "toolbox" which contains additional program/tools like scanners, archivers, editors, browsers, ...
Tools in USB "toolbox" won't be in config, only programs I have in PC are there.

You can also rename vssadmin.exe if you haven't done it already Why Everyone Should disable VSSAdmin.exe Now! nothing to add really from my point of view, stay safe and thanks for sharing your security setup

I'm beginning to think you should be sporting my user name Since it is obvious you like playing with and testing different securities, whether out of curiosity or passion, I will not give you the "holy **** that's way to much" speech.

I like to have full control over my PC (removing legacy components and disabling services I don't use) and using apps which are light or portable. And because I don't test malware, I don't test AV so I have to play with something else . I usually test apps which are portable, related to net (browsers, firewall, VPN, DNS, ...) or use "signatureless detection" (antiexe, SRP, BB, HIPS, ...).

Allow me to make a suggestion then. Set up a Virtual Machine, create a snapshot once you have the Guest machine set up, and then you can play all day long with software, and when done, you just simple reset the snapshot and your ready for another round of tinkering again, all without hampering your main system in any way.

I usually play with portable apps and apps which don't require reboot after installing in shadow mode, if they need reboot or if there is some conflict with my current setup(very rare) I test them in VM. Also I prefer to test in shadow mode as I am currently dualbooting win7 and win10.
For VM I have only win7.
