Advanced Plus Security TRS-80's Current 2019 Security Configuration

[TRS-80]

This is my reasonably stable Security Configuration. By stable I mean it's the way it is now.

Any suggestions for improvement will be considered for implementation.

All constructive input welcome.

Cheers Everyone!

Please use VMWare, VirtualBox or Shadow Defender (in Shadow Mode) to download/test malware, never in main host system.

Apart from that the config is very complete, maybe a bit overkill (VoodooShield and MWBytes premiun also running in real-time protection with ESET/KIS ?)

Thanks for sharing

No, I won't thanks mate. I was trying to make a joke about my recent infection(s.)

Thanks heaps for the advice tho!

Cheers.

Do you mean 931.5GB? Or do you have a petabyte drive?

 

[TRS-80]

No @ebocious I most certainly don't have a Petabyte Drive. I'm not sure if they're available publicly yet. I haven't seen any, but I haven't been looking. It's a bit less than a Terrabyte. You're(so far) the only person who's even discussed Petabytes so kudos to you! Well done. If you hear of any going cheap let me know please.

What you're seeing there is the model number. I can see how you arrived at your conclusion.


Cheers,

>>SuperAntiSpyware Pro.

That ruins the whole thing.

If one threw malware softballs at SuckyAntiSpyware all day, it would not notice.

It's one of the few things worse than Webroot.

Anyway, super extensive well-thought-out fortress.

While overkill for many, I like my security on the heavy and layered side too.

If your computer has enough horse-power to handle it, and you don't have software conflicts... go to town.

That's really a pretty good list of tools for new MTers to investigate too.

Are mass-produced petabyte drives enough to efficienty hold the human consciousness?

And mind-melding will be a common phenomena. Also mind control. Here is an example of what is possible: Off-Topic - What are you Browsing Now?

G'day @Burrito ,


Don't panic Mate!

I haven't 'lost the plot' with 'SuckyAntiSpyware.' That one generally reserved for the Infected who simply insist on its use. I might run it on my own machine to clean out a few cookies, with a chuckle, when I'm bored. Its amazing how many people still put excessive trust in it. How long is it since the engines were last updated? It was a long time when I last checked.

I totally agree with your appraisal of SAS. I love the thought of it flailing about madly trying to fend off "Malware Softballs." Great sense of humour!! I concur that it wouldn't notice 99.9/100 "Softballs." I reckon the remaining 0.1 "balls" are hit foul.

I like to run layered with individual software rotation as randomly as possible. I haven't encountered any serious conflicts so far. Only one real time A/V and A/M are run concurrently. Whatever isn't being used real time is used solely as On Demand extra opinions.

I'd rather run a little more slowly due to Security being slightly over-prioritized than be constantly cleaning off the unwanted interlopers. The hardware copes okay too.

I didn't bother listing all tools for the sake of brevity.

Thanks for the good laugh.

Stay well, safe and happy!

Best,
