Your Voodooshield setup

Third party IS…but works fine with Windows Defender.

If you are doing that then I recommend that you take a look at ConfigureDefender…it provides access to some really cool features that one cannot get to via the standard delivered functionality in WD.

Hard_Configurator has different hardening profiles that offer default-deny or default-allow, and incorporates forced Smartscreen.

Also:

ConfigureDefender GUI to easily access Windows Defender’s advanced settings,

Firewall Hardening Tool – guess what? it hardens Windows Firewall.

Documents Anti-Exploit – protects MS Office and Adobe

All in one simple package, plus an update with new feature which is being tested now so release shouldn’t be far behind.

I pair VS (5.03B beta) with a third party, lightweight AV that is basically a raw signature AV with strong privacy policy and a distinct lack of logging.. It’s not one on VirusTotal, but actually has some excellent signatures and is well under the radar of most intelligence organizations because there just isn’t enough people using it to garner any attention. Also the company has a policy to detect state sponsored malware.

So my goal is, a good light signature based, basic AV to compliment computer locking and exploit protection from VoodooShield. So far the combination is exceptionally nice, especially with WLC added to the mix. Combined with Gryphon Router and some other network based security, I am confident of the protection. (even from State Actors)
