Vishal's Security Config

[Vishal Kumar Singh]

Hello everyone

Can someone has more suggestion to secure my PC at extreme level

@Vishal Kumar Singh

Welcome to MT.

You already have decent security configuration.

At the most extreme for Windows you can harden Windows OS, add Software Restriction Policy and Anti-Executable software, and finally, light virtualization software.

The most extreme would be to migrate to Linux - but I don't think that is what you wish from your post.

Hardening the OS involves researching tweaks and disabling features in W7 that are never used.

Software Restriction Policy software include Blue Ridge Network AppGuard, Excubits Bouncer and NoVirusThanks Smart Object Blocker.

Anti-Executable software includes NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro, VooDooShield and Faronics Anti-Executable.

Light virtualization software includes Sandboxie and Shadow Defender.

My signature shows a popular configuration amongst some security soft geeks.

Notice I have no AV suite installed - don't need it.

I don't bother hardening the OS except for a few tweaks - such as disable remote assistance.

I think it's better to use Avast Internet Security for Real-Time Protection and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware On-demand. Add uBlock Origin or Adguard to block Ads and Trackers, replace Advanced SystemCare for CCleaner or Wise Care 365.

Yup, Avast Internet Security and Malwarebytes as real-time protection will be good..

Hello

I recommend you to:
1.) Avast will work with Malwarebytes so have them both real-time.
2.) Use CCleaner to keep your system running fast: http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup514.exe
3.) Add an Anti-Exploit such as Microsoft EMET or Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit: https://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbae_current/
4.) Add some on-demand scanners: http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro_x64.exe - https://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam_current/ - Zemana AntiMalware Free - Limitless Scan and Malware Removal!

I recommend you to consider:
1.) Uninstall IObit products, it is your choice but believe me they do more harm than good.
2.) Consider adding Zemana Anti-Logger Free and use it in real-time it prevents SSL intrusions, unwanted IP/DNS changes, man-in the middle and keyloggers: https://zemana.com/Download/AntiLoggerFree/AntiLoggerFree_Setup_1.8.2.320.exe

Friends I already have Anti-Exploit, and as far as Zemana or other are concerned please recommend me only lifetime product and that too I am always hungry for.

@Vishal Kumar Singh: Have you installed win 7 SP1? If you really want tweaking services and performance, consider adding yamicsoft win 7 manager or tweaking.com's simple & advanced system tweakers(with addons suport). Avast IS is more than enough and also disable RT on MBAM to avoid unnecessary lockups or performance degradation in certain scenarios. MBAM is one of the best on demand scanner. For browser security add WOT, self destruct cookies,FEBE(for backing up the profile) to enhance and secure your browser.

 

[Exterminator]

Avast Internet Security should be listed as your real time protection!
MBAM premium can be run with AIS however it is probably no necessary and can be used as an on demand scanner

 

[DJ Panda]

Malwarebytes Anti- Exploit Free should be added. Personal preference though.

Avast IS contains jumpacked of features that you can tweak into more aggressive protection. Like the Hardened Mode which you can to the highest settings and you may check to their HIPS concept. Meanwhile for Iobit better replace with CCleaner since some features are dangerous to perform and result to unstability of a system.

Avast! and Malwarebytes combination is great for any Pc.Just replace Advance System Care with Ccleaner.Add Ad blocker:ublock Origin

as other said , Avast must be set as Real-time AV.
