Advanced Plus Security Shiz's Security Config 2019

[Shiz]

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.

@Shiz:

• Probably You don't need AppCheck A-R if Yoy have Avast in Hardened Mode Aggressive.
• 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.

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, hanks for sharing

Updated to reflect using Norton Power Eraser, Hitmapro Free, Removed Appcheck Anti-Ransomware.

As for the external backup I been hesistant because I have like 4-5 data drives that are 85% games.

3/4 layers are covered.

• 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!

Updated to reflect which firewall I'm using. I'll try to see if I can tweak Macrium to do other folders too. Not the large game folders.
