Can you tell me what it worths if I set UAC to minimum? AFIK, the difference is whether to dim the desktop or not, which takes me a bit long time that I had to lower the UAC level for convenience

It doesn't act as an overlay, so other windows/intrusions can actually cover the UAC popup. Overall, UAC at maximum is recommended as it is the only setting that notifies you if Windows settings are being changed. Default/Dim only notify you for app changes.

Many thanks to both of you. Set my UAC to maxmium

Nice configuration there.

ReHips is such a good program which you need patience to setup for convenience.

Another option is you can have SecureAplus as your whitelisting/securoty program.

Not much to add.

There is no need to crank up UAC to maximum. If it was supposed to be like that, then default settings would me already cranked up.

Default settings on UAC is as good as it is for average user.

One feature of ReHIPS that beats SecureAplus for me is its "Sandbox", anw thanks for your suggestion

@Soulweave Seems legit. I'll consider that.

Right. He's got options. I was just answering his question of difference.

Is Rehips also an AV?

Everybody say ok so I suppose it can replace an AV?

Thank you for sharing

 

[MalwareBlockerYT]

Looks fine to me but I would add Zemana Anti-Malware as a demand scanner

 

[SHvFl]

Seems good to me. You see to have covered all angles.
I would replace the local account with a outlook account because from what i saw the local one can be bypassed easily. That's assuming someone physical access to your pc.

@Dirk41 Rehips isolates application(an isolated application can't do anything to the real user profile and files) that are at risk and you can isolate any application you wish(don't do security software they will lose their purpose because they will not be able to access anything).
Also it has parent child monitoring which is basically an advanced anti exe.

I use Rehips since the start so if you need any more info pm me.I don't want to mess this topic.

If you know what you are doing and you are careful an AV is irrelevant. At least the signature part of the antivirus, the behaviour blocker if it has one has a use.

 

[kaerula3]

@Evandro @Dirk41 as @SHvFl said, I've ditched AVs for more than a year without getting infected while system performance has been increased since then. I rarely (carefully) open unknown files and sites so I guess my chance of being compromised is even lower.

Also thinking of adding Appguard. Sad that they no more offers trial without providing credit card (not available for me now)

Direct link to their trial version for 4.4.6.1, not 5.2.

@XIII much appreciated

Hmmm... Your opnions on adding KasperskyAR to my config?

Hmmm... Your opnions on adding KasperskyAR to my config?

it's Ok but I'm not sure if it's light or not. It consumes ~80-100Mb of RAM and it's a cloud-signature based product so it may help sometimes to decide if an app is malicious or not. You can try to run it for a while and decide. It's free so no reason not to try
