[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 987346, member: 59691"] Well, [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] is also the developer of ConfigureDefender which is a quite well known tool among us geeks. ;) You will find quite a few reviews about it on Google. Also, many people here on MalwareTips and also on WildersSecurity forum use his tools, and are very satisfied - me included. His tools are out there for a long time, and are even Open Source. The main idea behind his tools is to further strengthen the Windows security without the need of third-party applications that are running 24/7 on your system in real-time. That would also mean, that his tools have basically no attack surface for hackers, as they are only tools to control built in Windows functions that are not enabled by default. I hope I could take your skepticism a little... I personally use his tools for many months and never had any problems whatsoever. Just make sure that you understand what the tool actually does. If you don't, you can always PM me or ask here. And if you need more technical answers then I am sure that [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] will be happy to help you out. A little off topic, but you can also create your own Computer Security Configuration thread, so that other people can give you recommendations and other tips how you could further improve the security of your system.
