toto_10 configuration

[toto_10]

The reason I'm using Comodo Internet Security version 8, is because I'm not quite sure if version 10 is 100% stable yet. I follow Comodo's forum and waiting for the autoupdate version.

Thanks. Comodo Internet Security has a build-in antivirus, sorry if I didn't understand you. Personally I think UAC is annoying. I'm the only person that uses my PC.

Hi! You can safely upgrade to the latest version of CIS.
The point @Wolfie is trying to put forward is that Comodo has an AV engine (definitions of malware/viruses) that's no good in defending you against most malware.
The auto-sandbox feature (run unknown and untrusted apps virtually) can keep you safe.
Yet, you need a powerful AV to identify threats in the first place. For that, you can try a free AV (Bitdefender free, Avast free) and complement it with Comodo Firewall. Comodo FW has all features of CIS except for the AV engine.

Still, you need it to inform yourself when unsigned and harmful executables are to be executed. It's a basic security measure, AVs come later.

Rest looks good @toto_10.
You can safely remove WOT extension since uBlock will do a great work in blocking malicious and untrusted sites.

Consider a system backup tool too. This is very helpful to restore your system to a clean state in cases of serious infections or system corruptions.
Thanks for sharing your config

Thanks, I will check it out.

Comodo Firewall + another software, wouldn't that use more memory and CPU power instead of all-in-one solution CIS?

I changed to 'Standard', is that OK?

I have never thought about that, good idea.

Is there any cloud-storage-service solution for that?

That should not be an issue. This is a well-received configuration here at MT and mostly it doesn't create issues. Choose a light antivirus as I mentioned above.
If there occurs an issue by any chance, people are always here to help
Note- If you're installing any Bitdefender product, it needa removing any other product (including Comodo FW). So make sure to first install BD and then others (CFW).

Yes. But this is just the setup. You should male wise decision when running unknown files. UAC will warn, but to accept or not is crucial.

In control panel, you've Backup and Restore (Windows 7) in Windows 10 too.
There you can specify the path to save the system backup.
For eg., select 'One-drive' option that is integrated already with Windows. Or download 'Google-drive' app for Windows and then you can select it as backup location. It will sync automatically. Dropbox also has backup features for directories. So you can backup locally or on a network and then allow 'Dropbox' to backup that folder timely.
There may be other ready-made tools available for this, however the above ones are the plain solutions you can use.

Please enable UAC, if it is disabled you have more chance to get infected. Add ZAM Free, Disconnect, I agree about removing WOT.
About backups, you can use Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

I have now bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2017. Is there anywhere I can find how to properly configure my settings?

I know that Zemana is highly recommended here in MalwareTips. I actually never heard about Zemana before. Is it simular to Malwarebytes? Where can I find a trustworhty source/review that can recommend this software?

While there are no standard settings for KIS, this thread by @viktik covers nice details for a great config.
KIS protection will vary with slightest of changes since it provides for many settings and flexibility. You may choose to vary a setting as per your needs, or consult here if any doubt clouds arise.

 

[toto_10]

Btw thanks for the backup recommendations, I will check it out.

Really recent: Zemana AntiMalware 2.72.2.101 - Security - Downloads

KIS17 is constant using 87-89 MB memory, sometimes 100 MB, is that normal or too much?

Suggestions:

• Install a secondary browser such as Mozilla Firefox.
• (Optional/Opinion) Add the browser extension ScriptSafe in Chrome, it is very useful for blocking scripts that run on websites which is one of the many vectors of infection that is made possible.
• Install a Cloud Anti-Malware on-demand scanner called "Crystal Security".

After I uninstalled Comodo Internet Security, I checked my regedit, it's full of leftovers. I used GeekUninstaller to uninstall Comodo. First I closed down Comodo in the system tray, after that I also closed Comodo in task manager. After a successful uninstall I rebooted my PC and used CCleaner for leftovers.

I am thinking of doing a clean windows 10 install, what do you guys think? It annoys me when there is leftovers, any suggestions?

I can already feel that my PC doesn't run smoothly

Consider some type of data and system backup solution.
However if you are doing a clean install wait until you do that then you can make a backup of a clean OS.
Macrium Reflect & AOMEI Backupper offer good free versions.

I need help to backup my PC. I have installed Macrium Reflect and I'm unsecure how to use it. I have 3 hard drivers installed in my PC. I want to backup my hard drive (C) into my hard drive (E) and afterwards backup hard drive (E) to (D). Is this a good solution or do you recommend something else?

What is the difference between Clone this disk, Image this disk, Backup WIndows, Create bootable Rescue media?

I don't know where to start. I'm scared that I will delete/erase one of my hard drivers.
