Advanced Plus Security Wraith's Gaming PC Config for 2019

[Wraith]

ESET and AppGuard damn, that's a fortress. Personally I wouldn't use CCleaner and would use something like Bleachbit but that's just my love for FOSS and staying as far away from Avast and their telemetry as possible. Mind PMing me those ESET rules?

I'll PM you my ESET configuration file. I have CCleaner blocked by ESET Firewall. You are right indeed friend, AppGuard and ESET make a solid combo while being extremely light.

Can I also get a copy of your ESET config file please.

Here you go. Change the extension from .txt to .xml and import it. But be ready to face prompts from ESET HIPS while installing or uninstalling softwares.

It's just that I got 1 year license of Phantom Pro. I still use WindScribe on my laptop and I consider it to be one of the best VPN out there mate.

Does that ESET file just have the ESET ransomware HIPS rules plus the ones you mentions in the ESET thread?

It includes both the HIPS and the Firewall rules.

Thanks for sharing! Might check it out since it’ll save time entering each rule. They definitely could streamline the interface.

I would recommend you to use SysHardener to tighten the security of your OS. SysHardener combined with these rules should be a great combo. Just make sure to disable script execution in SysHardener and enable constraint mode in powershell. Also use a good adblocker for your browsers since often users get infected by clicking malicious ads.

I actually was planning on downloading syshardener to go along with this already! So that supports my thinking. And I have been running uBlock Origin for quite some time to handle ads.

In terms of HIPS prompts when installing software, is it a large amount or just a few?

 

[Wraith]

Normally HIPS shouldn't alert you Unless the installer needs to access regsvr32, cscript/wscript, powershell, mshta and wmic. Since these are most commonly abused by malware, I have set HIPS to monitor their execution.

Rollback messed up my SSD.TRIM wouldn't function and somehow the MBR got corrupted as the OS wouldn't boot. So I secure erased my SSD, reinstalled Windows and started from scratch. Most of the softwares are same.
