Sonyphoneuser Security Config

Interesting, thanks for sharing this configuration. I recommend using either AdGuard or uBlock Origin as your adblock as both of these have lots of lists to choose from that prevent tracking, malvertising etc. I'm personally using AdGuard here are the filters i am currently using:

- English FIlter
- Spyware FIlter
- Annoyances Filter
- Social Media Filter
- Adblock Warning Removal List
- Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek
- Prebake
- Spam404

Some extensions you should use: HTTPS Everywhere & WOT.
Optional: ZenMate VPN, Click & Clean & OneTab.

Consider some on demand scanners besides KRD
Consider some type of data backup
What are you using for system backups?
Consider adding uBlock Origin or Adguard
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Great config have you followed this guide for Avast? How to setup Avast Internet Security 2016 for Maximum Protection (Guide) I highly recommend you do. No need to add anything else. :)
Im on custom settings Not as the ones linked but they never failed me

I may add some more Scanners when possible. Data Backup is done with OneDrive. Explorer to an external disconnected drive plus from time to time a System Image to the hdd with Windows built in Tool for that

Which version of AVAST? Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a useful tool, but consider one more on-demand scanner (Zemana, Emsisoft, Crystal Security). Thank you for sharing your config. :)

Edit: What's "malware yes", for some reason I read that as Malwarebytes.
As Noxx said, what is Malware Yes?

And then, install an adblcoker such as uBlock Origin.

Install other security extensions: HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect.

Install SandBoxie and use it while browsing to have more protection: Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

I also recommend you to install Macrium Reflect Free to have a better backup solution, which, in the latest version has also improvements about the Windows PE rescue environment. And please follow the suggestions about the on-demand scanners.

Good configuration, well Kaspersky Rescue Disk is fine but better place it somewhere since that will design for sophistiscated infections that leads to unbootable scenarios.

Follow the suggestions to have on-demand scanners.
