    Wow, looks like major overkill to me, it seems to be able to control just about everything. But I guess you can also turn this stuff off. For me there has to be a balance between security and usability, I hate annoying alerts.

    I rarely get any alerts because of the initial whitelist scan, it basically creates a clean state and any changes from there on is monitored.

    What do the abbreviations stand for? I don't visit the forum often enough.
     
  11. WFW= Windows FireWall
    GPO = Group Policy
    SRP = Software Restriction Policies
    ACL = Access Control List
    WD = Windows Defender
    MBAM = MalwareBytes Anti-Malware

    Stopped playing Smart Object Blocker, good program :thumb:

    Only making minor changes (replaced uBlock Origing with Adguard Adblocker)
     
  12. Windows 10 PRO policy restrictions
    1. Disabled legacy software plus bloat- and risk-ware
    2. Block unsigned executables to boot/install/elevate
    3. Block running (power)scripts and user autostarts
    4. Deny execute outside UAC-folders for Basic User
    5. Also block outbound connections in firewall

    Browser security measures
    1. Use Edge as PDF-reader (no flash/javascript/internet)
    2. Chrome browser with build-in sandbox & Adguard
    3. Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit free (browser & PDF)
    4. Deny execute in drive-by's for Everyone
    5. Safebrowsing and Smartscreen check

    1=reduce attack surface, 2=sandbox untrusted, 3=mitigate exploits, 4=deny execution 5=filter internet

    Using WSA and MBAM protection enabled while Invincea works out the problems between Sandboxie and the latest Windows update.

    edit: v5.05.2 Beta fixed the problem, back to running just Sandboxie.

    Removed ZA free and back to Private Firewall. ZA just can't remember a specific rule. That's a bit annoying.

    No AV for now. I guess I'll add F-Secure ULAV.

    Good Evening! NSG001...Eset Banking and setting up the Protection was a PITA...and seemed to affect performance....I feel that it needs some bugs ironed out...so I'll wait and see if improvements rectify some existing performance issues. Sincerely...Securon

    My security setup is Webroot SecureAnywhere AV plus the native Windows Firewall. Simple, strong and effective.
