What are the necessory things/Software to secure your pc?

[SIlhouette]

I have had issues with them all, Avast, AVG, Norton, MSE... whatever.

 

I am currently using MSE because it is designed by microsoft so it can access my registry with little problems and also has best speed/performance. If my computer gets corrupted then I use Malwarebytes, HitmanPro and RogueKiller to get rid of the issue. I also know a fair bit about how the majority of viruses work so I know where to look and how to get rid of them with little to no research.

 

Norton, Avast and AVG gain access to a registry called BFE or Base Filtering Engine, It allows it to scan far into your computer but since it is basically a backdoor for these programs to optimise their jobs. If a virus compromises the BFE it can turn the computer against your AV software and the virus will get all the permissions that your AV had which is a lot. MSE doesn't use the BFE in the same way so its harder for a virus to disassociate it from your OS. MSE is fully intergrated into your OS, it is not as thorough in its scans so its more likely to get small viruses, but big viruses are more unlikely since they target your BFE and other registries.

 

This is my reasoning for MSE as a tool to scan and give simple protection, for complex protection I go to Malwarebytes and other programs but generally only once I know my computer has an issue. Since two AV software running side by side can make for interesting blue screens or other problems.

 

Hope this helps, I am a strong advocate for research and coming to your own conclusions. Although this set up works for me it might not work for you so I just hope you can take stuff from this and build your own setup.

Had a virus turn my computer against my AV, called itself something like WindowsDefenderPlus, It deleted norton then stopped me opening any .EXEs

 

opened up in safe mode to grab a new version of norton but it didn't let me because BFE was missing.

 

I then used a portable version of some rootkit, av, reg scanners I have on USB to take back control of my computer.

 

I was having problems with permissions and what I could delete and move but I grabbed a BFE from a friend with the exact same model computer as me, scanned and repaired my registry and all was normal again.

 

I just remember the BFE being a big part of solving the issue so I assumed it controlled some permissions.

WindowsDefenderPlus is actually a very common, and very simple to remove virus. I've done it from maybe 10 different personal computers here at work. Safemode + usb malwarebytes and it's gone.

get a hardware firewall and take a security/network certification class at a local school.

Some issues are a result of the virus having been on your computer whether its gone or not, might have to do some repairs? What issues are you having?

[SIlhouette]

Did the virus change your homepage to things like Conduit and when you use the toolbar to search instead of it searching in google it defaults to some crappy search engine? Or did something called TextEnhance pop up in webpages you viewed?

[ITblasters]

No it did not change any thing...!
