Advanced Plus Security (From forum thread)simbatippe1234's PC Security Config

[simbatippe1234]

Here is my new security config, not many changes.

 

[silversurfer]

Real-time protection: Bitdefender Total Security+Simple Windows Hardening & Voodoo-Shield.

For me looks a bit like overkill, I believe would be enough to keep BTS and either SWH or VS, but it's okay for you as long as all software works without conflicts...

Hi @silversurfer, thanks for your concern, it works without conflict of any kind.

Hello

Without conflict yes, but it's too much, that's why he says it's Overkill :/
Bitdefender has an excellent BB, I don't see the need for SWH :/
Voodooshield why not

I think it's the other way around
VoodooShield not needed because of Bitdefender's excellent BB.
VoodooShield is running in realtime next to Bitdefender.
It never hurts to harden any system with Simple Windows Hardening.
Simple Windows Hardening is set and forget and not running in realtime.

also my opinion is too much.
Voodo is not needed as it runs in real time with Bitdefender.
it's a bit of an exaggeration.

I understand what you are saying, but I love Voodoo-Shield so much, would I be safer without it?
Would it interfere with Bitdefender's Real-Time Protection in any way?

Let's imagine Bitdefender AND VoodooShield, both at the same time detects/blocks a suspicious file, that's what I meant with "conflict" on my first post #2
The question is always how often such case happens to users but it's still possible, in general depends how risky are users behavior... safe browsing habits helps usually

Thanks, @silversurfer for that expert advice

I have added Maintenance Software to my Configuration: System Mechanic Pro instead of Wise Care 365 Pro, which I think is an upgrade, the best Tune-Up Utility in the World IMHO.

Just my opinion but system mechanic bricked up my pc before( The whole computer stops responding in the middle of a scan). I don't know why but I would rather stay away. Wise care is a good one, I have no problem with it, I think its better at find stuff too.
