vinylmeister's desktop config

[vinylmeister]

This is my actual configuration on my beloved Win7, which is the OS of my choice and i do not plan to update to 10!

What do you think? Is KIS the right choice for a 64bit system? Any recommendations, experiences?

You can add Macrium Reflect free/ AOMEI Backupper standard to your B&R and a second browser.

Nice config. Thanks for sharing with us.

You are very well protected, plus good tips of @scot, let me recommend PrivaZer. It will help you keep your system in top condition

Thanks for sharing it.

Pretty much great security config. As @Sr. Normal and @scot recomended you can get PrivaZer and some other backup & restore app

 

[vinylmeister]

So far, thank you! I'll have a look at PrivaZer. Would you recommend Macrium Reflect free/ AOMEI Backupper more than Image for Windows from TeraByte Unlimited which i use?

Your beloved Win7 machine looks well looked after and set up. Thanks for sharing.

Image is a good tool for B&R. Just wanted to suggest you some free alternatives.

KIS runs well on Windows 7.I would upgrade to KIS 2016.IMO it runs much better than 2015
I would use MBAM Pro as an on demand scanner as KIS 2015 is more than enough
Consider adding a second browser
Nice config thanks for sharing it

Very nice...! Good setup, nothing to add.

The pro-active part seems a bit on the busy side, with sandboxie (sandboxing), KIS (defending)... I don't think you even need the Exploit or Pro version of MBAM running in realtime, as that takes 100 to 200ks of RAM.

Kapersky and Sandboxie have you covered fine, but you may want to get a second opinion if you decide to change anything. I'm just saying what I would do.

So far so good, Kaspersky 2016 products are not limited in protection whereas if you install on Windows 10 which clearly mentioned on a comprehensive PDF; so considering to grab it.

We should consider the straight to the point method of configuration, MBAM Pro is fine but better to leave it as your on demand scanner. Try to tweak base on your preferences.

Hi, good config, just add a second browser, and PrivaZer, as @Sr. Normal said

thx for sharing!

 

[vinylmeister]

Added: Chrome 64 bit with uBlock origin, Ghostery, HTTPS everywhere, Scriptsafe and Disconnect

 

[frogboy]

That is some very nice additions there.

Added: Chrome 64 bit with uBlock origin, Ghostery, HTTPS everywhere, Scriptsafe and Disconnect

Good changelog, Chrome is fast and soft, and the extensions you installed are very useful

 

[vinylmeister]

Removed KIS 2015, added ESS 8 for some smoother performance.
Added to chrome Cookies, VTchromizer, IP Address and Domain Information

After encountered bad internet slow downs (regularly only half of my speed) and some missed trojans incoming by e-mail i decided to uninstall eset ss 9. I set up new as following:

Avast Pro Antivirus
Binisoft FWC
Hitman Pro + Alert

With this config i get my best up/download rates so far...

I am thinking about Exe Radar Pro as a additional anti exe or "behaviour blocker". Would you recommend such addition or is it a overkill? Maybe other idea?
