Shiz Level 2 Thread author Verified Nov 16, 2018 55 160 66 Mar 12, 2019 #1 Hi I been mostly a lurker on here. I decided to post my config to see if any improvements can be made. I prefer a real light configuration setup that doesn't compromise too much on security. The main use for my PC is gaming. Thanks. Reactions: bribon77, mellowtones242, Paul Lee and 2 others

Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices. As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free, MalWareBytes Free, Norton Power Eraser, and HitManPro Free.

Backup: none Realtime & other: Avast Web browser: uBo Firewall: WFP My advice: Manually backup important files you want protected to a USB or hard drive, if you don't prefer software solutions. State the software which you're using for Windows Firewall Fantastic setup otherwise with Avast and Syshardener! ~LDogg Reactions: bribon77, JM Safe, oldschool and 3 others
