What is your security setup these days?

Why didn't you go for SpySphelter Firewall, then you could dump GlassWire, or perhaps you really like it.

 

+1 for PatchMyPC auto-updating, with SUMo being my first line in terms of updates to all software.

 

win 11 fresh install with no ooshutup or wfpd

+ windows defender
+ hmpa
+ osarmor
+ mbae
+ defender ui

makes the system not to oversize and programs open very quick.

browser edge:

+ ubo
+ local cdn
+ privacy badger
+ clear url´s

 

IMO using hmpa, osarmour and mbae is overkill, pick one, it should be sufficient.

 

my system should handle it and i think its a good balance because every programm has his advantages
what would make my system slow is a third party av programm
if i remove a programm it would be mbae because defender blocks exploits im undecided

 

Hi,

I would like to chime in on the fact that I also use LocalCDN in Edge.
This extension has 2 features.
In my opinion, with Edge,the privacy functionality is also useful because CHIPS is not working.

With Chrome,if we consider only the privacy functionality,it would not be necessary.
You just need to enable CHIPS + disable third-party cookie blocking.
And trust....

 

@Sampei Nihira
thanks for ur comment
i didnt have chrome or any other browser installed im only using edge

 

I'll do a backup and give it a spin. Thanks!

GUI in Glasswire works better for me than the one from Spyshelter Thanks!

 

Not many bangs and whistles with this app. And yet it's been around the block for quite a while. It's safe. It's efficient. It's accurate. I've kept an eye on SUMo update for many moons now and as long as this nifty lil' app continues to do as purported...

 

How do you know? The 'Partitioned cookies' flag can be enabled. Did you test it? If so, how?

 

Just to clarify, SUMo does a sterling job of notifying me of out-of-date versions (especially my many portables). I then update manually.

 

Go to post #16:

OK got it, I never really was a fan of GlassWire, although it does have certain features that SpyShelter lacks. But SpyShelter Firewall has a much better (more simple) network monitor in my view.

 

SpyShelter doesn't have lifetime licence...
It makes a huge différence..

 

Thanks. I missed that one.

 

I honestly thought that GlassWire also stopped offering a lifetime license. Actually, SpyShelter does offer lifetime licenses but it's way more expensive than in the past.

 

And not updated since 12-10-2021. What to make of this?

 

That they stopped development? However, old versions still work just fine on Win 8.1 and Win 10, but I'm not sure about Win 11.

 

Sorry, I missed this post. Yes perhaps I will ask her myself to take NeuShield for a testdrive.

 

Look at: https://malwaretips.com/threads/for...all-appcheck-or-neushield.115228/#post-999884 post # 4

 

Thanks, so if those restore points are deleted, you're out of luck with NeuShield. But would still be fun to see if NeuShield can protect (or restore) data after a ransomware attack. Like I said, CheckMal has posted numerous of videos were AppCheck successfully protected against many ransomware samples, but you can never expect a protection rate of 100% of course.

 

AppCheck seems good..
But i m a fan of Blackfog.. Anti Data Exfiltration.. 3rd Generation Ransomware Protection..

Current Setup:
Win11 21H2
BitLocker On
No AV realtime & Windows Defender = Disabled
Blackfog
Adguard for windows (DNS-over-QUIC)
Glasswire Elite
OsArmor (medium +tweaked)
Macrium Reflect
Process Lasso
KeePass
Cloud backup => sync.com atm
+ opinion scanner Malwarebytes/NPE/WiseVector
+ some tweaking/hardening Windows (Optimizer 13.9/Privacy.Sexy/WPD/RazerCortex system-booster) & Firefox (standard +privacy.resistFingerprinting +https.only & addons => AdguardAssistant, Flagfox, DarkReader)

 

I'm not going to lie, from what I've seen I'm a bit skeptical about BlackFog, it's not really clear to me how it tries to defend against ransomware. It's never a good sign if stuff seems vague. And is there any reason why you disabled real time AV's?

 

Given the multitude of security layers I have it is totally useless to me..
and because it's cool to finally be able to do without a "stupid" AV realtime ^^
