At-Risk SecretKeeper's Security Config (2018)

[SecretKeeper]

Misc Configurations:
Configurations mentioned before that are still ongoing:

• Avast is set to Moderate Hardened Mode.
• MalwareBytes runs a Threat Scan every day at midnight.
• Windows warns me upon installing/first time running software outside of the store.
• System Maintenance is ran everyday by midnight, as device is usually on.

New Configurations added:

• MalwareBytes runs a custom scan (Scan every disk and partition for anything including rootkits, etc) every 1st of the month at midnight.
• Manual scans via Crystal Security are ran everyday.
• System Image is backed up with the built in software. Image is rewritten and updated every month.

I would remove Crystal Security and Mbam real time protection and include a default-deny one such as Voodooshield. Similar use of resources, much stronger protection.
Good configuration otherwise.
Thanks for sharing.

Self-Made Backup Software?

Don't know if I can say that anything self made is secure. You're better off going with a reliable backup solution.

Data Backup: Rollback rx
System Backup: Macrium Reflect

Both are free.

Add ZAM Free and follow suggestion about backups.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes you need to create system images and both Macrium Reflect and Aomei Backupper have a good free and reliable version you could use.

I agree with what they said about installing a backup program.
Thanks for sharing.

@SecretKeeper: Your config will remain in Caution until You add one of the suggested free and reliable image system back solution

Apart from that, You have a secure config, thanks for sharing

Implement some type of system & data backup solution.Consider backing up important data to an external drive also.
Your real time protection is not an on demand scanner.
Thanks for sharing your config
