[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1043841, member: 67091"] There is no perfect security software. Therefore, you always will need to live in two dimensions: 1) Default settings or 2) Customized settings. If the minimalist UI doesn't allow customized settings, then you are forced to live with default settings. And that's my only point. I think minimalist UIs must leave some room for few customization. I don't mean to ruin the minimalist style. I like minimalism. But IMHO ZA UI needs few options, among them, a basic granular firewall. Because different users have different profiles. For average Joe, default settings usually are enough. Hardening settings for average Joe profile will be a nightmare, because average Joes don't know how to deal with hardened settings (it blocks too much stuff for them, and they don't know how to unblock needed stuff). Now, for users like me, I always need to harden default settings, because I use to be exposed to cyber threats, and I know how to block, unblock, allow, disable stuff. I don't believe "default settings" are configured to maximum protection. I believe "default settings" are configured to "average use". There is no security software with "default settings" and "maximum security" at the same time. Default settings is about default use, and security level is about user profile... two different things.
