[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 746244, member: 53544"] Mate [USER=54678]@Gheart[/USER] I personally understand your concern with third party apps. It can be very frustrating... Incompatibilities, random crashes, sites breaks... Taking a look at what you mention, you seem to have decent knowledge of your online security! As for protecting your system you should take two steps to achieve a "secure" enviroment: [B]Prevention:[/B] Focusing on avoiding malware at all cost. This could be achieved on two ways: [LIST=1] [*][U]Secure habits:[/U] do not download cracks/keygens/activators for pirated software. Do not happy click everywhere and trust nobody online! [*][U]Browser:[/U] equip your browser in a way you reduce risks to the minimum. uBlock Origin to block all ads and malvertising, HTTPS Everywhere to force encrypted connections, NoScript Suite to block unwanted scripts (possibly malicious). [/LIST] [B]Protection:[/B] This could be done by installing local software and hardening your security policies. There are many usefull yet not intrusive software you could use, right now two names come to my head: [LIST] [*]VoodooShield [*]NVT OSArmor [/LIST] An excellent non-intrusive combo would be: [LIST] [*][B]Windows Defender (hardened with AndyFul's ConfigureDefender to tweak for maximum settings)[/B] [*][B]OSArmor[/B] [*][B]SysHardener (NVT) to harden all possible Windows security policies and lock it down.[/B] [/LIST] I personally use this combo on one of my machines. And it's very effective, non-intrusive, and light. [/QUOTE]
