[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 840516, member: 82776"] Sorry, about the confusion created, The first post refers to my brother's gaming desktop which I had to re-install Windows 10 after he was tricked in downloading malware with a "Your PC is infected scam". I have not installed Avast antivirus, just the browser extension in Chrome. The windows 10 Pro is my dual boot on my old Linux laptop. When I had re-installed Windows 10 on my brother's desktop using a USB-stick, I just wondered whether the Windows 7 license from the sticker on the bottom/back of the 9 year old laptop worked. So now I have Linux Manjaro and Windows 10 Pro on my laptop (updating from Linux kernel 4 to 5 on Manjaro was easier than updating from 1809 to 1903 on Windows 10) PS, I have changed the default deny with allow rules I had created in H_C for my brother to the easier to use Windows_Security profile which comes with Hard_Configurator. It is simular to the Avast H_C profile only inteded to use with Windows Defender and blocking elevation of unsigned programs (am I right)? For my brother the confusing "A referral returned from the server" message is an advantage, because he will think the program does not work on his machine. I guess the chances in running into such an error is very small because he can't download programs from insecure websites anymore and WD smartscreen will probably block unsigned programs also :) My Brother's (Windows 10 Home) protection against internet based malware is: 1. URL filtering with: Quad9, WD Network protection, Chrome safe browsing, Avast extension 2. Chrome browser hardened with site settings and flag to block stuff from HTTP websites (see picture below). 3. H_C with "Windows_10_MT_Windows_Security_hardening.hdc" profile 4. C_D with maxed out security settings for Windows Defender __________________ this screenprint is made on my laptop (Edge-chromium), not my brothers desktop (Chrome) _________________ [ATTACH type="full" alt="1571646455574.png"]227974[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
