Advice Request What Additional Security Do You Have Besides Your AV?

Hi, I have BTS as AV.
Additional Security: Voodoo-Shield+Simple Windows Hardening+OS-Amor & Adguard Desktop.
Thats it, Thanks.

 

[SpiderWeb]

Different OS, different architecture (ARM64), M1 hardware security, NextDNS. Those alone eliminate 99% of malware. Restricted privileges and my most important protection: backup. When something is off I troubleshoot and roll back the entire system by a week.

Just native Windows security. Nothing else is necessary. Adding stuff is overkill.

 

[silversurfer]

Simple Windows Hardening, and Secure DNS (DoH) from either Quad9 or Cloudflare (Malware blocking only).

F-secure SAFE is main.
Additional:
Firewall hardening + glasswire basic
Adgaurd (no DNS), Bitwarden using Windows biometrics

 

[Minimalist]

Macrium Reflect and uBlock Origin in Firefox.

Hardware IDS/Firewall/geoblocking > Network Segregation/VLANS > Pihole Network wide adblock > unbound recursive dns server > Windows SRP > Windows 11, Windows Defender with DefenderUI Pro (Aggressive mode) > Spyshelter Firewall (Hips/keystroke)

Totally overkill. If you need ad blocking in your browsers only I'll recommend replacing Adguard desktop with the extensions. VS and SWH are okay with BD although any one should suffice. If you don't have a paid subscription remove OSArmor. It's absolutely not needed with your setup.
