Basic Security RazorSiS Free Security Config (Windows)

I would add Emsisoft Emergency Kit and HitmanPro as ondemand scanners. You can setup HitmanPro to perform a quick scan at startup.

unwanted non-uninstallable avira connect

I was checking it out 2 weeks ago and it was possible to disable avira connect, maybe only during the install though?

Why OS File Reputation disabled? It can be fundamental to avoid infections.

Add ZAM Free.

Add MalwareBytes Free.

Add HTTPS Everywhere.

Add a good backup software, such as Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Now i'm little confused
What to add from Emsisoft Emergency Kit, HitmanPro, ZAM Free , Malwarebytes free?
Will there be any performance hit adding multiple scanners along with av?
Should I stay with Avira free or switch to kaspersky, bitdefender or avast?

Stay with Avira however since Avira is your real time protection an on demand scanner is different so some of the suggestions would be good to use as an on demand scanner.
More important is to implement some type of system & data backup solution.You should consider backing up important data to an external drive also.
Enable Smartscreen.
What browser do you use?
What system utilities do you use? Such as CCleaner,etc.
Please edit your config with any changes.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Thinking about replacing avira with avast, as i read somewhere avira doesn't have zeroday protection , bb and avast performs well compared to avira in tests
For secondary scanner: EEK
Will it be enough?

I don't like using backup software but I backup every important files in an ext hdd manually

I use chrome with ublock, idm

have used ccleaner earlier with winapp2 but now don't. Just the default disk cleanup utility, autoruns
trying to not use too much 3rd party stuffs
you can suggest some good utility if its ok

gonna edit the config as soon as I reinstall windows and your next reply

Thanks :)

I do manual backups of imp. data to ext hdd i like to clean install system if anything goes wrong
I have limited storage and lots of data
backups gonna eat way more than I could afford

Thanks for the suggesion!

@RazorSiS: I just tagged Your config as Caution, since You don't have any backup solution in system. If at any time You install one, then I'll change to Secure.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have to be "straight and strict when giving tags" :)

Personally I don't use VS, but probably can be a good complement to BD Free :)

Bu let's see VS users what They have to say about their experience and whether there will be some issues with BD Free...

Currently testing it (2 days)
Settings: Smart mode, Autopilot disabled

so far no conflict with BD free but it's annoying, recommending to block some good programs as well
I need your opinion on this, with my current config(forget about the backup part), is the system secure enough?
whats your recommendations if not?

Thanks :)
