I find the best protection beside all that is common sense.

It's free, and cross platform and will work against anything anyone throws at it.

If you visit questionable sites, then unfortunately, that's not possible.

Kaspersky Personal Pro

MS Antispyware

Adaware SE Pro

Windows :(

Avast! AV - no resident scanning

Kerio Home PF - unactive unless installing something

Router w/NAT

File Shredder

40-bit encrypted IEEE HDD cables

Not logged in as Admin most of the time!

Linux Servers

SSHv2 only SSH access

VNC encrypted active only when I use it

Snort IDS

Root login disabled except via other login and then SU'd

No non-passworded accounts or ones (such as an application's own users) aren't allowed to login

User's needing 'good' shell access to home directories are chrooted there

"Port and Login Sentries" active at all times

Various other hardening techniques that would just take up a lot more space and time to type out

ClamAV for all those Windows clients connecting to the email server and/or FTP

Regular manual sweeps of log files and IP blocks

Linux Personal

Router w/NAT

IPtables

Log file sweeps

SP2 - Always best to be up to date

AVG - Not the best AV, but always keep it up to date and its nice and lite

Windows Firewall - Not the best firewall, but its the litest i've used and it works

MS Antispyware - Not active because i have common sense, but still nice to have and it works great

Firefox - One of the most secure browsers and I feel safe using it

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
