I tried this but it does nothing, just set the endpoint security rules, like strong password etc.. but it cannot prevent that you download bad stuff or open phishing page, I wrote them too asking to confirm this and then I removed and ended the trial, did I miss something?


I forgot KIS in the list! I though VDS and OSA are the same thing, in what they differ? Pro/cons?
Sorry can't help you with that.
Symantec Endpoint Protection is configured by the IT department in my company.
It's just there for me on my work laptop and works there like any AV.

What is the difference between Hard Configurator and SysHardener?


and is it enough to protect from possible threats?


I tried this but could not understand its purpose, many non HTTPS websites trigger the usual yellow warning, what is the point of blocking non HTTPS websites ?
SysHardner "only" hardens Windows settings to mitigate cybersecurity threats.
Hard Configurator does more and is default-deny protection.
Probably others can explain better...
Have a look at their websites for more information:

Adding to what @Gandalf_The_Grey said: Hard_Configurator's unique contribution to security is that it activates the native Windows Software Restriction Policies, and provides an easy way to configure them. They are very powerful and can be used both in default-allow and in default-deny configurations.

Like I said others can explain better :D
And don't forget the great support here from the creator of Hard Configurator: @Andy Ful
