@Huracan Another question should be " How many @ MT encountered an exploit?!"
Very, very few - if they keep their software updated.

Not necessarily the dark web... bump in to one when I was using IE and was searching for chrome, Its always IE that there after. Another one was updating PotPlayer all 3 triggered a blocking MBAE, HMP.A, and AG. MBAE blocked the update while the 2 let the update thru but blocked certain elements it random updates.
Hehehe... no wonder your confused
!Umbra's Concept of Layered Config is the genuine article it meant to be a guide, what works for him may not be your cup of tea. BTW bumped to one of his blog 3 years ago used it as my guide that's why I ended up having SBIE and Appguard.

Yeah I trust @Umbra and some of the staff with suggestions in my config. That's a big reason why UAC is maxed and I have ZAM. I am just concerned that if I add MBAE or some sort of exploit protection it might make my system slower, unstable, or nbloated. Otherwise I configured Avast to also have really good HIPS and detection.
Basically an anti-exploit is useful if:
- you have risky habits ( you like shady websites, are an happy clicker, open any attached files in emails, etc...)
- you like download install lot of unknown softwares.
- you don't use HIPS/BB/Anti-executables.
if you don't fall into one of this category , you won't need it.

Umbra Advanced users I agree, don't need an anti exploit.
As for the average user that can't gauge risk appropriately
I would recommend an anti exploit like MBAE.

@Duotone: Well that is my part of view, cause honestly I've never encountered exploits in my life and even the people around where I can see no infections despite of outdated product.
But still a presumption where either on shady sites which mentioned which can also consider unknown dark web.
We cannot really now at all since exploits will happen everywhere.

True it can happen everywhere never thought that searching for Chrome would give me a chance encountered. Just remembered the fear from exploit was the main reason I bought AppGuard.
I was happy when that happened cause I got a chance to test my software's
