Almost all my applications run virtualized, especially browsers.

Comodo Firewall is configured to CruelSister specifications

My mail accounts are from ProtonMail and Tutanota

I have a number of habits like unplugging the computer's electricity from the desktop (the only one I have) and the router when I'm not using them.

Some advice on privacy/security is well received

Thank you

Hi again :)

I changed my antivirus. F-Secure is really annoying reminding me continually that I do not have Windows Firewall enabled. Avast free with Jack's settings is my first defensive line now.
I am well covered now ?, I mean, I think I have a good general defense, but there are more specific tools against exploits or ransomware and I do not know if my current configuration would protect me well in these scenarios.
Thank you

Comodo and Avast are a great defense, but I have suffered conflicts in my system and decided to make changes, too many changes maybe :rolleyes:
I try to have a good defense and not too much paranoid :oops:

Comodo Firewall
Avast

Added List
KeePass (with browser extensions)

The PC is protected. Just because someone decides on using Windows Defender, doesn't mean they cannot protect their PC.
so it's the user protecting the computer and not the software? what's the point of the software then..
what's protecting him from ransomware coming from email attachments? what's protecting him from exploits? WD surely not.

if he wouldn't have ZAM with Pandora enabled, he would be vulnerable to anything that isn't at least 2 days old.

Well you clearly have issues with users opt-ing for Windows Defender, by your choice of idiotic questions and lack of logic.

Show me where is the lack of logic with countering my "idiotic" questions.
by this logic you have an issue with users opt-ing for 3rd party software over WD.
no need for any name calling, especially from a staff member.

Well, first of all, thanks for the tips, I'm learning reading your posts
And like @BugCode says, keep calm please, I only want learning i don´t like conflicts
Comodo gave me problems with some Yandex extensions and Avast works better in my wife´s system with "only" Windows Firewall, then i could keep Avast on my computer, but, now, i prefer use WD, because i have lately "Common Sense Activated"
Thanks :)
