Pearl96 Config

[Pearl96]

Hello! This is Pearl96 config.

To be honest I don't remember when was the last time my computer got infected; not because my security config is the most decnet, but because I know which link to vist and what files to download.

Never test malware on your host PC! Always use a virtual machine.
Everything else looks great, just try to back up the system at least monthly and replace Malwarebytes with Zemana and Hitmanpro (far better detection with many engines).

Nice config. You can add https everywhere and ublock origin. Also consider adding ZAL with real time and you are good to go

I agree. Replace Adblock PLus with Ublock Origin (much lighter, tracking, phishing, and malware protection as well, and no whitelisted ads). Ad Avira Browser Safety and Https Everywhere. No malicious website has gotten through Avira Browser Safety yet (for now).

You are at risk for testing malware on your host PC.Testing malware should be done in a Virtual Enviroment ONLY!
Consider adding an additional on demand scanner(s)
Consider replacing Adblock + with uBlock Origin
Consider some type of system & data backup solution.
Thanks for sharing your config!

I have changed to Avira as Trend is too heavy on system resources! Don't worry I will start testing Malware using a virtual machine.

Once I get to my laptop I will install them. Thank you for your advice

Thank you very much! I have started using Avira and their Scout browser and I am quite happy with it. What about adguard? I use the pro version on my iPhone.

Hello! Is Ashampoo Backup good? I have received an email from ashampoo recomminding this program.

Hi! Thank you all for your kind and useful suggestions. Love you all!
I have replaced Avira with Emsisoft and I really like it. Moreover, I have started using Zemana Anti Malware (I have recently bought a three-year subscription) and I have replaced Adblock plus with Ublock Origin.
Thank you very much.

Please add MalwareBytes, HTTPS Everywhere

Personally I prefer Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I have installed the trial version of AOMEI Backupper and for what I see, it is very user-friendly and I really like it! A week ago I was using "Genie Timeline Home 2016" but it really slows down the system
