Advanced Plus Security Woomera's Security Config 2019

[woomera]

I was running with Windows Defender for about 2 years with no issues but about a week ago decided to buy discounted licenses from eBay and switched to KIS and MBAM (even though MBAM once decided to remove my license during their new ownership migration a few years back. they basically stole from me but I was impressed with their detection rate so I decided to give them another chance)

@woomera:

• MWB 3 Premium with real-time enable is not necessary, and I would keep it for on demands scans.
• As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
• A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
  

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, hanks for sharing

Nice config. Just MBAM premium is overkill with KIS. And you not need so many extensions. The web filter of KIS will cover you. Thanks for sharing

My advice:

• Follow advice in previous posts regard MBAM Premium
• Remove "Sysinternals Autorun, Sysinternals Process Explorer (with VT stats), WinAuth" from Virus & Malware Tools and place them in the "System Utilities" section
• Remove Bitdefender TrafficLight & OPSWAT as Kaspersky is more than enough for the job and these two extensions or very much overkill
• Follow @harlan4096 advice regarding backup
• You could remove "TDSSKiller, Hijackthis, Ultra Virus Killer" replacing them with ZAM Free 3.0

Hope the advice help you slim down your setup as some section I would regard as overkill, thanks for sharing!

Hello, it's good you're using Google Drive for data backup but I would also add Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper to perform system backups.

Thanks for sharing.

thank you guys for your recommendations,
-I will try out both AOMEI and Macrium and see which one fits into my liking more.
-MBAM uses too much CPU so I will follow your advice to disable its real-time protection.
-KIS extension is buggy in my pc and gives upgrade errors so I removed it and kept trafficlight.
-I do not like ZAM since it looks like a rip-off of HitmanPro
-I don't use my on-demand scanners on my own pc, Just keep them for scanning other pc/laptops from USB.

Thanks guys.
