What is your security setup these days?

mcafee toal protection
Zemana Antimalware

 

KAV and a router. Everything else is disabled.

 

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, 4GB RAM, Core i5
Standard User Account
User Account Control - max, with password

KIS + MBAE was rather heavy.

Only KIS is lighter.

 

Windows 8.1 x64
UAC (max) - WSH desactived and SMB removed
AV : Bitdefender free edition / Windows Firewall
Sandboxie 5.18
Firefox+NoScript+Ublock Origin+Https everywere+SelfDestructingCookies
Scan on demand : AdwCleaner+RogueKiller+TDSSKiller+Zemana Antimalware+Virus Total
(Malwarebytes Antimalware uninstalled, i prefer Zemana)

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on running something along side WD on Windows 10? Almost every AV I have tried has caused one issue or another, especially with performance. Whether it is PC performance, web slow downs etc. Feel free to PM me so as not to muck up this thread.

Thanks.

 

Hi, thanks for sharing those settings, do you use it yourself?

If you do, how is the usability and system performance of it? Can you play modern games like The Witcher 3, GTA V, Overwatch etc. with it on and do "normal" work with it enabled?

 

Windows 10 built-in (file history, SmartScreen, Windows Defender, UAC max, Hyper-V, etc.)
Malwarebytes 3 Premium
Zemana AntiLogger
Adguard Desktop
Sandboxie, Shadow Defender
Emsisoft Emergency Kit, HitmanPro
ImDisk Toolkit, Process Hacker, SUMo
LastPass, µBlock Origin, VTchromizer

 

On Vista...nothing special except SD in real-time (SM on every boot), Keriver 1-Click as system backup
Firefox+NoScript+BluHell Firewall+HTTPS everywere

 

Yes, I have similar settings (Firewall is set on Custom Mode).
Everything is working fine, I don't play games.
Performance is great (I have Win Defender disabled with GPE).
Web browser is running thrugh Comodo widget aka Comodo Sandbox.

 

Can anyone tell me what additional protection I would be getting by installing VoodooShield when I already have HitmaPro.Alert installed?

I'm not familiar with VS and recently won a license for it, but I don't know if it would be redundant running alongside HMPA. Maybe someone can explain the differences and if I should add it to my security setup.

 

So here goes my first post in this thread for years.

Realtime:
Hardened Windows built-in AV + SmartScreen
NVT-ERP (lockdown)

On-demand
Sandboxie on-demand before I install an application for real
Zemana Antilogger on-demand

Other
Google Chrome (AppContainer enabled)
BitLocker (anti-theft)
Backup on OneDrive for pictures + a physical external harddrive once a month

 

You can run Comodo Firewall at cruelsister's settings, it won't slow down your PC and it will give you great protection

 

Put simply, VS is an anti-exe and HMP.A is an anti-exploit and anti-ransomware program.

 

@Djigi
Re Comodo settings in your picture, do you not enable Virusscope

 

For me VS and WebFilter are disabled..

 

But that is just simply a firewall correct?

 

Why do you think is not enabled?
Is enabled by default.

 

Pictures that I have posted is CS settings.
You have firewall and sandbox set very good with not so much pop-up window.
Everything good is runing fine, everything not good is sandboxed.

 

Do you enable cloud protection? I also do not want the browser etc.

 

I suggest to enable cloud lookup to avoid too many false positives, but you can disable website filtering.
Upon installation you can opt out for chromodo browser, geekbuddy, yahoo stuffs and such

 

Sorry as you did not post a picture showing virusscope i wasn't sure.

 

Same here
Although may re-enable Virusscope as they are testing some new recognizers.

For booth of you.
Install Comodo Firewall (check options before installation and uncheck what don't want) and just do what is showing in the pictures in my post.

Simple and effective

 

Done! So is that all there is to it?

I noticed it has been blocking Chrome. Assume this is ok since I am able to browse the internet and update it etc.

Sorry it has been many years since i have run a software firewall. Especially something as powerful as Comodo. Are you running the free or paid version?

Thanks again for your help.

EDIT: I just re-read the logs. Looks like my Chrome browser is trying to talk to my Chromecast via UDP ports. For now I am leaving it as is lol.
