I love listening to your inference and reference even to the tiniest trivial things. You have raised certain topics on malware boot kit, rootkit, rnalicious scamming software and devices, without your elaboration and illustration, we fans won't know any wherefores. I could just see and hear your continual coherence in presentation of your whole channel. Logical steps allow us to mitigate in times of crash and crisis, so your videos could be good companion with us 24/7. Thank you so much!!!

I'm the same as you with what I use for my own windows installs, for family I use Bitdefender because I find with everything turned on it keeps my parents and in-laws safe because they click on stuff they shouldn't. I also like that I can manage their settings from my Bitdefender control panel. Also tip, turn off the auto-renewal and wait for the emails offering you a cheaper renewal. I get the 10 license super cheap.

Here's a much easier solution for "hardening" Windows: 1. Back up data, wipe system drive, install Linux in its place 2. Set up a Windows virtual machine containing *only* what you absolutely need 3. Only use the virtual machine when absolutely necessary; shut down and use the main OS for anything else For even better privacy and security, drop the virtual machine and avoid Windows entirely. Can't get much simpler than that.

I assume this applies to Windows 10 also until it dies? How does the CTT script go with defender and portmaster and having tron for emergency sound? As always thanks for the videos man.
@KenHarrisio
10 күн бұрын
Yeah, I've tested this and these tweaks work 1:1 across 10 and 11. The only difference will be some slight differences in Group Policy between the two versions. CTT's script seems to work well with Defender and Portmaster. I've seem some reports that some of the tweaks can cause issues with wifi, but I've not seem anyone talk about issues with ethernet. I haven't tested Tron before, so I can't speak to the compatibility of it with everything else. Thanks for supporting the channel!

As long as you download it from the official site/repo, you should be good. The people who say they've been infected by it got it from a shady source. Like any popular repo, bad actors will clone these to try to get people to download malware and sometimes they get the repo listed on Google. With how many people use the tool, I think people would catch malicious changes right away.

Word of mouth is still one of the best ways to check on something, especially small projects without an advertising budget. When you like one of those projects, the idea is to help promote it by telling other people about it, especially when they ask.

Hi, will "Windows Firewall Control" work with DefenderUI or ConfigureDefender?
@KenHarrisio

Yeah, it'll work well with both options. The firewall just makes it easier to allow/deny what gets access to the internet. I've used Simplewall for years (similar to WFC) and it works great with hardening tools.

As far as what they accomplish, they have similar capabilities. I would be more willing to recommend DefenderUI if the app was open source. I'm becoming more hesitant these days to recommend something that isn't open source with a large user base or a closed source program with a publicly known team.

The built in Windows option is okay as long as you use IPsec. The ability to use PPTP is still there which hasn't been safe to use for years. A VPN app is my preferred choice, since you'll get to choose either Wireguard or OpenVPN.

I appreciate the support as always. This isn't something most people would say but at least for the time being, channel growth isn't something I'm working on. I like making mostly long niche videos, so they don't get much for views. My channel is at a size where I have enough time to still comment with most people which is a plus.
