Paulevs PC Security Configuration

[paulevs]

Security has never been a problem for me because I don't download anything I shouldn't or go on websites that aren't legitimate. My computer problems consist of Windows updates breaking everything, like ever since the creators update VPN's don't work on my machine and the tech support cant figure it out and my usb devices that never had problems fail and turn off constantly.

I would like to suggest either Macrium reflector Aomei Backupper for backups and vreating system images. Both have a free and reliable version.

Thanks for sharing your config with us.

As @frogboy recommend, a good tool for creating system images can be the easy solution for many issues such as OS failures and deep malware infections.
Sometimes Windows Update can cause some problems, depending on OS configurations and installed apps, but also active security products may interfere with the correct execution of the updates.

Implement some type of system backup solution.
Real time protection is not an on demand option so consider adding an on demand scanner(s).
Consider adding HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger to Chrome.
Thanks for sharing your config

To consider:

- Add Macrium Reflect for auto backups
- Turn UAC to max
- Add HTTPS Everywhere to your browser
- Add Zemana as a true on demand scanner

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I suggest that you do the following things:

• Add HTTPS Everywhere
• Add some second-opinion scanners (on-demand scanners). I suggest Zemana Anti-Malware, HitmanPro, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, or Malwarebytes.
• Set UAC to Always Notify
• Create System Image Backups.
• Install Bitdefender's Security Extension for Chrome.

Thanks for sharing your config!

Make System image backup and add some on demand scanners!

 

[JM Safe]

I would add ZAM Free and MalwareBytes.

Add HTTPS Everywhere.

Follow suggestions about backups, it is very important.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd recommend both a data and system backup. Macrium Reflect is good for system backup, and Rollback rx is great for data backups. They're not 100% compatible but they're free and you can work around the compatibility issue fairly easily.

Links:
RollBack Rx Home | PC Time Machine Windows System Restore Software
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free

You also need an On demand scanner, I'd recommend Malwarebytes Antimalware

I would recommend adding Zemana Anti-Malware Free or Malwarebytes free. But it is just a recommendation.
