Definitely overkill, especially since you're running Windows 8. There is plenty of integrated security in that OS that lessens the need for 3'rd...
Yeah... I saw other people mentioning secure logon and things of the sort in their security setups so figured I'd add those aspect of my regimen...
Thanks... that's a very kind way of saying that I'm OCD, lol. Much appreciated : )
Me either
I guess technically I do, although I only use IE8 for Windows Updates, I do use it, so it counts. But that's all I use it for. Besides that it's...
If I change the Opt-In status it comes as by default by editing the Notepad file in "Startup & Recovery" under the Advanced tab in "System" in the...
Still a model of simplicity, efficiency, and stability I see LoneWolf! Always love your setups. I'm wondering though... have you ever tried...
That doesn't work on mine. Do do so you'd have to change a setting in the Bios itself, and to do so you'd need to enter yet another password...
Hardware & OS hardening: Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit - Always fully patched ASAP Router w/SPI - wired to PC - 63 digit ASCII key (for when...
So, any further word about your Open EMET? I'm sooo looking forward to it, and even more-so after seeing how polished your DEP Tools was. I...
Excellent, powerful and granular approach there. If I ever fell out of favor with Comodo FW/D+ for some reason that would be my plan B. It would...
I say CIS v 5.10 + Sandboxie Paid. Disable the sandbox in CIS's D+. Or if you want to use another AV go with FW/D+ only, not the full CIS. But...
This is good news, IMO. ES has so much potential as an app., but it probably started becoming apparent that it was a bit much for 1 man to...
I block svchost.exe here on XP Pro and my computer functions perfectly fine... no brick here. You can't get away with this on any Windows OS...
It depends on the extensions. Some increase performance, at least for me. Pages most definitely load more quickly for me with NoScript,...

Isn't everything we use in here pretty much overkill? How about me for instance... I have no PDF reader. No Java. No .NET Framework. Flash...
That autotrusting stuff... now THAT is indeed dumbing down. It can be done in Comodo that way too via it's trusted vendor list. I delete that...
I would think that you of all people actually would realize how anal/paranoid I am about things like this, Ostro, based on correspondence we've...
Thanks for the heads up gentlemen... Bad news though. VPN vendors should respond by accepting cash.
I used to use DownloadHelper too... great addon! But by now I've grabbed everything I could ever want, so no longer any use. Used to use...
Usually when I see words like "need", or "necessary", I take things very literally and so the answer is always "NO". Because I could definitely...
Didn't I see in here that Liberty Reserve has been banished?... did I see/understand that right? That may impact the choices here. Anyhow,...
