[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 713590, member: 32260"] It seems that my setup is functionally similar to yours. In my Windows 10 I sometimes use: [LIST] [*][B]Default-deny + file reputation service: Hard_Configurator[/B] [B](with forced SmartScreen)[/B] instead of CF. [*][B]Antivirus[/B] + Anti-Exploit + AntiRansomware: [B]Defender[/B] + Controlled folder access + Exploit Guard, instead of Q360 + AppCheck + EMET [*][B]Shadow Defender [/B]on boot [/LIST] Mostly, I use only the bolded components. SmartScreen is much better for checking installers than Comodo File Lookup. I like OSArmor and ReHips very much, but I do not need them with the above setup. In fact, my setup can be reconfigured with a few mouse clicks from locked to almost unrestricted due to Hard_Configurator and ConfigureDefender. I also install many programs for testing, and after finishing tests my system is untouched due to Shadow Defender. Anyway, for most people the default-deny setup will be inconvenient, because they have habits adjusted to default-allow security like standard Antivirus suites. [/QUOTE]
