[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 962090, member: 32260"] SWH is a part of modular security. Other modules (separate tools) are available as standalone applications included in the H_C_HardeningTools (ConfigureDefender, FirewallHardening, DocumentsAntiExploit, RunBySmartscreen). [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/AndyFul/ConfigureDefender/raw/master/H_C_HardeningTools.zip[/URL] The necessity of using other modules can depend on the AV, installed software, home environment, user's safe habits, and desired security level. For example, if one uses MS Office in daily work then it is recommended to use Defender with ConfigureDefender, or with DocumentsAntiExploit tool. If one uses Norton 360 as an AV, then SWH will be probably enough. Many users will be happy just with SWH + ConfigureDefender. If the user [B]is cautious[/B], then (with some basic knowledge and a few safe habits) a good AV + RunBySmartscreen will be enough.
