What is your security setup these days?

On my linux computer.
UFW enabled.
My browser hardened with chosen extensions.

image to external drive if required.
Thats all.

 

@Windows_Security
Can explain or put some pictures or some links to look at of that Windows Firewall 2-way settings?

Tnx

 

Sandboxie remains the only program that I consistently use but even that is on demand.

I do struggle with anti-exe's in particular which is unfortunate as I have licenses for three of them. I just find they ruin my experience of using my computer.

 

What ant-exe you try?

 

Appguard, Exe Radar Pro and HitmanPro Alert. I liked them enough to buy them and I respect the people behind these programs but all of them in some stopped legitimate stuff working on my pc up until the point I felt happier removing them. It was just a personal choice.

 

HitmanPro.Alert is an anti-exploit, not anti-exe.

 

Lol. I thought I was going to get caught out using the term anti-exe.

 

I am thinking about trying Voodooshield but I do find myself put off by UAC being disabled. I am impressed by how much it's changed in giving the user a more informed choice about whether a program is safe.

 

Thank you for letting me know about this as it makes a massive difference to me.

 

There is a tutorial in Firewall section (link).

Here is a picture of my rules, but that does not help much.

 

Added ScriptSafe (Chrome) only Fringerprint Protection.
Unistalled Canvas Defender.

 

@Sampei Nihira

I thought you posted the tip to start Chrome with the --disable-reading-from-canvas switch. Why add extra canvas protection?

 

EIS + VS combo:

Emsisoft Internet Security:

• Firewall: ask for Trustworthy and Unknown programs for Incoming and Outgoing connections.
• Behavior Blocker: If a program shows suspicious behavior but can't be exactly verified: Display alert window.

VoodooShield 3.30 in Smart Mode.

In general PC feels lite but sometimes it freezes for 5-10 sec.

 

Problems with counter of uBlockOrigin.

Signature updated: Sandboxie removed

 

Is it a temporary exile?

An honorable discharge?

 

Disabled WebRTC Protection on uBO:



Enabled WebRTC Protection on ScriptSafe (Protect Local and Public IPs):

 

at the moment, more like fed up by constant updates because it broke something or is incompatible with OS or softs updates, and i have ReHIPS which does as good as Sbie with the benefit of an HIPS on top.

 

Thank you. I use SBIE atm alongside with Comodo Firewall. I'm considering honorable temporary (IDK for how long though) retirement of SBIE.
