Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 889872, member: 32260"] No. It is not required in the home environment when one uses WD + Edge + H_C settings (also for ConfigureDefender and FirewallHardening) adjusted to the user safety habits. I had to correct my previous post about Heimdal Thor. The actual Heimdal software is a full AV, so it turns off WD real-time protection. Most (non-casual) users in the home environment probably do not need a dedicated Banking Protection when using WD (ConfigureDefender HIGH preset) + Edge + FirewallHardening and using the second local account only for Banking. The exception may be sharing the computer with several family members. Another exception can be related to users who need to do banking in public networks, outside the safe home environment. In such situations, the better solution is buying a commercial AV with Banking Protection or using a banking mobile app (for PC or mobile devices). It is good to use a separate device, if possible (especially smartphone or tablet), only for banking. [/QUOTE]
