Danger tailHey's Security Config (April 2019)

[PlayerFromTheITtic]

Hello there, MT community.

You'll find here my updated security configuration post.

Happy surfing, everyone

P.S: I'm careful when using my computer, if you're a beginner when it's about I.T you may want to increase your security with various measures. Even with the "maximum" achievable security set up on your device, you're never safe from threats, so remember being careful enough!

Are you using Windows Defender or have you disabled it along with Smartscreen? with manual tweaks or a 3rd party app? Please indicate in your configuration.

@tailHey :

• Enable SmarScreen (Device Security).
• I'm not sure if MalWareBytes Premium is strong enough to protect the system probably You should hard Your config with some extra tools: VodooShield, SysHardener, NVT OSA...
• As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
• Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, and/or in cloud services.
• As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free, EmsiSoft Emergengy Kit, and HitManPro Free.
• As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service.

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, hanks for sharing

Hello,

Why SmartScreen is disabled? It would be a very good idea to enable it to increase the security of your config.
You can add Sandboxie Free and use it while browsing to have more protection, I would want to suggest you to use also Google Drive for data backups. I see you don't like to have system backup tools, if you will change your idea I would want to suggest you Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

Major aspect you need to change asap is the Device Security, enable Smartscreen, get a data backup solution.

The above is important, regardless how careful oneself is, anyone can fall pray to an infection even IT experts.
