Danger Short-Circuit's Config

[short-circuit]

Hello all, I'm a new member but not inexperienced in computer protection. I would like to know if I have any holes in my present security. I use the following:

Sandboxie for Firefox and Chrome
Windows 10 Firewall Control
VoodooShield
VirusTotal and Hitman Pro scans for downloads
Hitman Pro and Kaspersky System Checker at the end of the day.

Thanks for any responses.

I don't see a reason for the VirusTotal scan when you have VoodooShield, it esentially does it for you when you execute it.
I would throw NVT OSArmor on the computer for exploit protection in case something goes wrong in sandboxie or some fresh no-sig malware happens to run.

Thank you mekelek. I will tryout NVT OSArmor. VirusTotal does not run in the background and is on-demand only. You are right about the VoodooShield scan but I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy LOL. NVT OSArmor sounds very interesting. I've been reading the posts about it; checked out the website information about it; and will give it a spin.
Thanks again for your reply.

I would like to suggest a backup solution for you. Either Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper, both have a free and reliable version you could use to create System Images with.

Thanks for sharing with us here at MT.

Thanks frogboy. I use Macrium Free offline. I guess I should have included that. I also use Terabytes Image for Windows (DOS offline). It's always a good thing to have an external image to fall back on. Great suggestion

i use Paragon probably most advanced recovery solution which never make me fall

 

[short-circuit]

Thanks for the suggestion. I've used Paragon Backup & Recovery and found it to be an excellent online choice. The only reason I prefer Macruim Free offline is because it uses WIM and my mouse and keyboard works well within its GUI.
