Advanced Plus Security Trickster's Security Config For 2018

[FrFc1908]

For me, it´s a good config. Please, how does Qihoo currently behave? - I'm talking about security and performance - and another question, isn't MBAE redundant with OSA?

I used to love Qihoo, but it seems that its protection capacity has gone to less and its privacy policy is not the most convenient.

Thank you for sharing your config and thank you for answering my questions.

hello black wings sure , I will answer you're questions.....no problem at all brother
qihoo used to be a resource hog a couple of releases back , so i submitted some feedback to them and the fixed most of the memory / cpu leaks , if not all of them in my case. regarding the privacy concerns : it may be up to eahc and every differnt end user ; I myself have no reason to fear them : I have nothing to hide...sure there will be times the protection capacities of various security product may fluctuate from time to time , that is why I make use of a layered security concept : if one layer fails me , another layer will save me. OSA has software level exploit protection and MBAE has software and os level exploit protections , so the two can work in peace and harmony together. hope this answers you're questions??

hey moonhorse! I was fiddeling around with ublock and could not find a filter like that , so I installed an etra extension for that , just to be safe

Make sure that the Popup Blocker extension you're using isn't Poper Blocker, this has some recent controversy where Firefox removed it from their store.

Whats your opinion on qihoo360? @stefanos is using it aswell and when checking out vt links on malware hub, it seems 360 is always detecting malwares during first scan. The qihoo 360 engine is very powerfull, but in overall qihoo is weak(i dont know wich causes this?), but with cf or sh it will probably shine i think


Also sorry @Evjl's Rain for highlighting you, but when lookin on your youtube videos from year ago, it seems you were very fanatic about qihoo...any idea why they went so called downhill?

I don't know why. Perhaps they haven't improved their HIPS and malwares have been evolving since so qihoo's HIPS is incapable to protect now

qihoo has very (x3) poor behavior blocker, so-so HIPS nowadays, okay heuristics in the cloud engine, very useful sandboxie-like sandbox and avira+BD engines
it's very good for someone who can manage it but bad in average user's hand
it's quite light too, but only without avira and BD signatures in realtime protection

because of the manual sandbox, knowledgeable users can have their system fully protected

I have all engines enabled and it feels very , very light on my system right now. I reported the memory and cpu spikes to them during updates , startup and so on. and yes qihoo is far from perfect when it comes to protectio ( ransom ) that''s why I paired it up with 360 document protection. after updating yesterday to the latest program update I did a system scan and it found a lot of fp's.

re-added zemana anti malware premium ( realtime protection disabled ) , just use it as an on demand scanner when I feel the need too.

* an older change , but forgot to mention : replaced rollback rx for eazy fix pro v11 ( have won a license on a different forum,
* removed Mbae
* installed hmpa ( knock on wood , but it runs awesome next too qihoo 360 ts and qihoo document protector! )

 

[FrFc1908]

* removed qihoo 360 total security , 360 document protector , hmpa , nvt osarmor
* replaced with Kaspersky Free Antivirus and Comodo Firewall ( Crueslsister's settings )

Welcome to family.

Syshardener + qihoo 360 ( own engine only) and sandboxed browsers by qihoo is something im really interested to play with in future

Any specific reason to swap from qihoo to kaspersky?

 

[FrFc1908]

qihoo just was getting to bore me , I do have premium , but they are adding more and more excessive bloatware. when it comes to release builds , one runs fluently on my machine and another may slowdown my machine. another reason for giving up on them is the user tracking they do. the new combo I installed just now feels more smooth. Let's see for the next couple of weeks how it holds up

Fair enough, agree with all that bloat they have. Those system tune up thingys gonna mess up many peoples pc, have to be very careful to disable them away

Atleast the avira/bitdefender signatures are getting updated more often nowadays

disk compression is also a known system wrecker , which qihoo come up with. also the newest desktop tidy thingymajiggy is nothing more than a annoying little nothing. they suffer from a lot of false positives lately also.

Nice change Trickster, or no Mr. Wave I should say, still not used to it
Very solid config! Malware will have a difficult time reaching your pc

I use 360TS many years . But never i use doc. Protection, disk compresion or desktop. Just use the sandbox and is realy one of the best. And avira and bitfefenfer just for manual scan. Combo with osarmor and voodoshield. Voodooshield i activate only if i play unsafe. The signatures qihoo the last 3 months is is one of the top 5 . I check it every time to malwarehub . Realy is the most light antivirus if you used like me. And with voodooshield activate after many test all this years never i had one infection. Thats my opinion after many years with 360TS
