Good example of strong config! Thanks for sharing!
Nevertheless, I would like to suggest about UAC to the maximum but I do not know the utility of this when having CFW installed, of course depending on what customizacion Comodo has.

Thaks for your reply
Setting UAC to MAXimum will not increase security but will slowdown performance.
you can check that from @cruelsister (vedio).

Good configuration. covered on all fronts. Good idea to take regular system image backups

I Was thinking to downgrade to Win7 , I love win10 and its fine and better in many terms but not beat win7 in performance ... and I miss that feeling and i can deal with and manage the lag of win 7 security.

Important: UAC set to always notify.
Default search engine: Startpage, uses Google as well.
Unchecky may have been compromised just to let you know, another link on the forum for this. I've uninstalled it just to be careful.
CCleaner I would keep now because an update in the program now lets you choose via tickbox if you wish for certain data to be extracted from you.
Chrome extensions:
- Netcraft (best extension out there for Phishing)
- Scriptsafe (Allow or block sites scripts, various fingerprinting methods, unwanted content, Google UTMs & more)
- Malwarebytes Browser Extension (block various threats, very much recommended after testing myself)
- Cookie Autodelete (you don't need this if you wish to stay logged into websites all the time)
With regards to HTTPS Everywhere, I find the extension to be redundant in 2018. Most websites not roll out HTTPS as standard.
The rest of the config looks very good. MCShield I used in the past, maybe another software that's not needed.

Thanks for your helpful reply
Regarding :
1-CCleaner I'm using its portable version since its problem if I have to use it .
2- HTTPS Everywhere: I forget to mention that I removed it from my config. you are right
3- MCShield: im not using it on real time but (on-demand) , the only reason that keeping me still using it is" unhide items" option on infected USB.. its helpful and fast .
4- I always use chrome in incognito windows so no need for "Cookie Autodelete" if I wasn't wrong ?
really thanks for your reply and now I will try (Netcraft, Malwarebytes Browser Extension) as your recommended

Thanks for the reply back. That could be the case. I use Cookie AutoDelete to take me out of sites when i close the tab, as others sometimes use the computer as well when they ask me. Plus I just dislike cookies. It's also good to use .lso cookies as well. aka Supercookies. Much like Betterprivacy used to.Thanks for your helpful reply

Liking the change to your config. Make a lot of sense and still cover the basic attack surface areas.

Consider add Sandboxie to sandbox your browser for better security (just in case)...
Also take a look at Voodooshield, it's really worth it(there is free and pro version). It is a default deny program with virus total scan result of the file that it stops (really useful when your AV doesnt have a signature to stop an unknown malware).

thnx for ur reply and advise
, regarding voodoosheild i've used it before many times its v.good app and i like its developing process, but my point is it need to be online to do its job beside it takes a bit time to launch an app to check it before launch. so im tryng to make balance between performance and prevention.Similar threads
