Basic Security kev216 Security Configuration 2018

[kev216]

@kev216 Nice. Panda Dome is also in my top security suite list. What I don't like is that you still have to manually check for software upgrades, e.g. you will not even notice that 18.0.7 has been out for a week, and there's nowhere official information to be found that new version is out, unless you manually download new installer or if some 3th party website notifies about it. It's still incompatible with Shadow Defender and exclusions doesn't help, it's reported however. There are other minor annoyances with Dome, but as for a new product, malware protection wise it has potential to be among the best, I just wish they more frequently release new versions.

I have to agree about that. I read on their forum they did an auto-update for old 2016 installed versions to dome now, so it would be good if they started to do auto updates on new versions too in general.
Other than a few visual bugs, I haven't noticed too much serious bugs that affect the detections or that affect the working of the software in general.

Not very keen on Panda myself, but as that's your personal choice I won't add further . Alongside Panda you could add OSArmor as anti-exploit protection.

Important: Set UAC to Always Notify.

I don't know much about Vivaldi, can this use Google extensions, or does this have it's own store?

The rest looks good.

I'll look at OSArmor.
Vivaldi does not have its own store yet, although that is on the long list of things to do in the future. You can use the Chrome web store directly in Vivaldi and install every Chrome extension you want.

vivaldi has some nice customization features, ability to use chrome webstore for extensions, google safe browsing and less spyware than chrome has. But Performance wide it lacks little bit of chrome, also they prefer 32bit browser over 64bit

Hahaha, I still like sophos, but panda feels lighter on my laptop, even battery life is longer. And still there is no quarantine after 2 years of development of sophos... I was impressed when I tried the new dome version.
I've used panda for more than 5 years in the past so it also feels a bit like coming home again Panda is maybe not the best, but with some tweaks, it is pretty strong and the lightest of all I guess.
