ufon007 Security Config

[ufon007]

Hi, although I tried various antiviruses and I'm considering myself as a fan of this stuff, lately I'm somehow bored and I stay with Win10 and its default antivirus, firewall...

Thinking about change for a few weeks already but did not decided yet. Hope I get some inspiration here ;-)
----
Update (04/03/2017)(28.11.2017)
Thanks to this amazing community my setup is:
SmartScreen - ON
UAM - ON (max)
Antivirus - AVIRA (free so far) Avast Internet Security
Backup - AOMEI - thanks for giveaway info ;-)
Malware - CCLeaner & Malwarebytes
Firewall - have to make some more research here so Windows default so far - Avast Internet Security
Browsing - opening Vivaldi in Sandboxie (extensions like HTTPS Everywhere, Avira...)

Thanks again for your help and tips!

Why SmartScreen disabled? It is absolutely recommended to enable it to avoid infections. Windows Defender is improved with the latest version, but I recommend to add also ZAM Free and MalwareBytes.

Add HTTPS Everywhere, add at least CCleaner Free for System Utilities.

Add Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

A few tips:

• Set User Account Control to Always Notify
• Turn on Smartscreen
• Add a second layer of defence to Windows Defender or switch to a different antivirus solution. (WD's zero-day defences are almost non-existent so I'd say switch to either Avast Free or Bitdefender Free.) If you'd rather not use a different antivirus, I'd recommend Comodo Firewall (you'll need to tweak its settings), Zemana Antimalware Premium or HitmanPro Alert as a secondary real-time defence. (There's also VoodooShield but I'm personally not a fan of it.)
• Add Zemana Antimalware as an on-demand scanner if you don't plan on using it in real-time.
• Add HTTPS Everywhere and Avira Browser Safety to your browsers.
• Create a system image backup using either Macrium Reflect or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing. Hope I helped.

Thanks for fast reply! Going to change some things right away... And i made a mistake, at least SS is on, not off as I wrote.
With backup... Good point. Have to taky it more seriously.
Thanks.

If you are sticking purely with Windows protection mechanisms, I recommend you enable SmartScreen. Perhaps set UAC to maximum.

In addition, some form of system image backups is crucial in case of severe system infection - Windows Backup and Restore should be enough to create a system image.
(unless you have no files/applications to protect, and have no problem reinstalling your OS from scratch)

It is advised that you do some more research on your options for dedicated security software (3rd party antivirus, firewall, lockdown software, etc).

Thanks for sharing your config with us.

If you are careful about where you go,what you click on and what you download Windows 10 built in security provides a good lite setup.
I would enable UAC to max
I edited your config to include Smartscreen being enabled.
I think you first,and most important,issue is to consider a system and data backup solution.
Thanks for sharing your config

I'd say put UAC to at least default, make sure Smartscreen is on, and add another on demand scanner such as Zemana Anti-Malware.

Other than that good config!

Don't forget to make backup's... i recommend making system images so you can go back in time very quickly

UAC should be at default unless your hardware is so weak that it can't dim the desktop.

I like your config. Dont forget to tweak uBlock Origin to improve malvertising protection.

Good point! Thanks. Custom filters like Anti-Adblock Killer looks powerful.

These are the custom filters I use in uBlock. You can find them in filterlists.com
I know there are a lot more but these ones are the perfect ones for me after some testing.
Give them a try
