Advanced Plus Security Victor M Security Test Box Win 11 22H2

[Victor M]

I am partially satisfied with this setup, but always on the look out for more improvments.

My previous setup included Voodoo Shield, the anti-executable. But I find that I don't want it's online reputation check, I only want everything foreign blocked. I am not the install-happy try-every-software type. So I switched to Faronics Anti-Executable. And besides, a hacker once showed me that that online capability can be hacked. So I blocked it's online feature for the time being. Now I have switched products and am happier.

I am also a past customer of HitManPro Alert. But it didn't protect me much, as my attacker switched to using javascript attacks. Javascript is much too powerful. The attacker managed to freeze my entire Chrome window, not allowing me to even close it. I had to use Task Manager to kill the process. Sandboxie prevents infection of the host, but does not stop this kind of Denial-of-Service attack.

I must qualify for the most hacked award..

You can add also in Periodic scanning, some 3er party scanners (not only the one from the main protection).

Do You have Malware Defender enabled or disabled? It's a bit unclear

Thanks for sharing

Windows Defender is enabled.

I doubt that using Faronics Anti-Exe and OSArmor is a good complementary setup. Why not using Microsoft Defender + OSArmor alone and save some money? Otherwise a good and detailed config

Faronics Anti-Executable and OSArmor do different parts of security that one needs. An anti-exe stops foreign exe's from running. It takes an inventory of exe's and dll's and 'locks' in that state. The attacker can copy over a tool, but it wouldn't run. OSArmor covers the other part, where the attacker uses Windows' own executables to do dirty things, and OSArmor stops those, like using SC to stop a service. The two are complimentary.

I see. Yet there are still too many programs running in real-time for my taste. But as long as you don't experience any issues, you should of course keep on using it. I was about to say that you could check out VoodooShield, but I saw that you weren't really satisified with that product before. Anyway, if you are interested in trying new products from time to time, you might want to check out AppGuard Solo. Quite expensive too, but it looks like it's just what you are looking for.
