MSE and common sense

>>55373506
If you use still use MSE then you don't have any common sense. They're incompatible with each other.

Kaspersky + Malwarebytes + Comodo Firewall

>>55373517
They are complementary. It's enough if you have common sense.

On the whole ZA - they still use Kaskersky's AV engine, and their layered application firewall is very good if configured correctly. You probably want to do a clean install if you want it to work well though - it runs into firewall problems (i.e., it starts breaking all of your programme functionality) if you install it on systems that have complex/unusual configurations.

Don't trust the chink AV, they all do suspect things.

>Comodo

I'd revise that advice, Comodo was a great free firewall 3-5 years ago, but it has more and more vulnerabilities. It does not come out well from leak testing at the moment.

MSE + Malwarebytes + Tinywall

Whilst MSE isn't as bad as it was years ago, it's still dogshit. Its 0-day attack preventation is only 70% or so. Furthermore, its ability to remove malware isn't great.

>>55373599
That's why you have common sense.

>Whilst MSE isn't as bad as it was years ago

You're dumb. It's way WORSE than it was years ago. It actually used to be a competitive AV that scored well in independent testing. Now it's an absolute piece of garbage that offers no meaningful protection. Having it installed and thinking you have a safety net as a result is actively dangerous to your system. You should consider yourself not to be running an AV at all if MSE/Defender is all you have installed.

It depends on how you're exposing your network. Common sense (and, to a great extent, adblock+noscript) works well if you're exclusively a client, however if you serve data in any way it's not really enough. Same reason why you should keep any home servers on a different wired network to any general PCs.

And that applies to small scale things like hosting a game for a few people - a good example was terraria a few years back, whose use of non-random ports and a few vulnerable protocols (and a common OS) made most hosts an easy target for trawling malware bots. These were often 0-day attacks, and not something MSE would be likely to handle.

Plus, remember that now that we're all on the same architecture spread of worms between systems, even running different OSs, is quite possible.

>>55373678
MSE should be uninstalled, it has known vulnerabilities and microsoft botches updates all of the them. That said, it's patently untrue that it scores worse than it used to (unless you're thinking of a small peak in the '12-'14 period). Go back in time a bit and MSE had removal success chances of 20-30% - now it's no worse than the bad corporate offerings.

well, it can't. Especially when there is a maintainer between you and the dev.
