Disclaimer: This is not an advise. I will not be liable in case that your security setup will be infiltrated by bad actors.
Disclaimer: You must have a Windows 10/11 install with Windows Security, Windows Defender, Microsoft Edge and, Windows Firewall that are always up to date for my first agenda.
Note: Super long nito. But I just share this para makatulong upang maging secure ang mga systems nyo kahit papaano.
Agenda 1 - Surviving without any 3rd party security software in Windows
In 2024, posible nga bang makasurvive ka sa online world nang walang iniinstall na 3rd party security software?
Well, oo lalo na kung naka Windows 10 at 11 ka. Una, make sure na up to date lang muna yung OS mo ha, I mean literal na yung pinaka latest na version like 22H2 for Windows 10 and 23H2 (currently) for Windows 11 hindi yung wala lang lumalabas na updates. Check mo muna via "winver" command sa Command Prompt.
Next, go to Windows Security and enable the Ransomware protection or also known as Controlled-Folder access para iwas accidenteng ransom para lang ma unencrypt ang files mo. Enable every security feature in the settings of Windows Security. Make sure na okay din ang Windows Firewall mo.
I suggest, Reset mo muna yung Firewall rules mo (if not newly installed yung OS) You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. para sure na safe ka.
Next, make sure na si Microsoft Edge ang web browser na gagamitin mo otherwise useless yung Web protection ni Windows Security.
Lagay mo sa strict yung blocking para mas safe ka. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
Make sure din na naka-enable yung Windows Defender Smart Screen sa MS Edge. Check nyo na lang sa settings.
Ang tanong? Mairerecommend ko ba ito na gamitin?
Honestly, No! kasi paano pag Google Chrome ang gamit mo and other browsers. Kasi walang SmartScreen sa mga yan.
Agenda 2 - UBlock Origin for Malware blocking
Technically, may paraan sa Google Chrome at other web browsers, alam nyo na kung ano. 3rd party security software? Pwede ding hindi.
Install nyo sa web browser nyo yung UBlock Origin at enable din sa Incognito/Private mode para gumana. By the way, si UBlock Origin ay adblocker din pala. For this add na lang kayo ng filterlist kay UBlock Origin like yung Threat Intelligence Feed ni Hagezi, yung BlockList Project at iba pang filterlist for malware blocking. Research na lang kayo marami yan.
Mairerecommend ko ba yung sinasabi ko about sa UBlock Origin? No for most users, hard to setup plus iba talaga pag 3rd party security software ang gamit mo, mas mapapanatag ang loob mo.
Pero you can always use UBlock Origin as a secondary opinion.
Agenda 3 - How to pick a security software?
I do not want to recommend a 3rd party security software dahil ito ay kailangan na kayo ang pumili ng gagamitin nyo. Do your own research. Check its record on AVtest and AV Comparatives, huwag sa mga blog at vlog lang kasi real-world testing yung ginagawa ng dalawang testing labs na iyan.
Agenda 4 - Security Softwares, walang silbi pag ikaw ang may ginawang mali
Pero syempre, the best security layer is YOU! Kung maiingat ka sa mga dinadownload mo at binibisita mong websites ganun din sa file handling mo ay kahit Windows Security lang ay makakasurvive ka na.
Pag inignore at dinisable mo yung security software mo edi wala ring silbi yung security software. Kaya nga sabi nila, ang tao ang minsang naglalagay ng kanyang sarili sa peligro.
Agenda 5 - Pirated Softwares with malware
Honestly, one of the most common source of malwares are actually pirated and modified softwares (MODs). Ac†ïvâ†ør na may virus, nagpapanggap na legitimate software pero ransomware pala. Note lang hindi ko sinasabi na lahat ng pirated software ay may malware, yung iba meron yung iba wala. May mga pìrâ†é naman na safe, yung mga hindi pa activated at gagamit ka lang ng tool for activation (pero minsan yung tool may malware din). Basa muna kayo ng mga comments about sa pirated na gagamitin nyo before using, usually sa forums meron nyan.
Probably upload the executable installer sa Virustotal (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) before running that pirated software installer can probably save you a lot of headaches.
Product keys with no executable programs and no modification of installation files are much safer method of pirating. Hindi mo alam baka malicious pala yung code ng mga executables na iyan.
Agenda 6 - Give Open-Source Softwares a try
Actually kung gusto nyo mag pìrâ†é ng software ay bakit di na lang kaya ay try nyo naman yung mga open-source softwares.
Here are commonly pirated softwares na may free and open-source alternatives:
•Adobe Photoshop > GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)
•Microsoft Office and WPS Office> Libre Office, Apache Open Office
•Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw > Inkscape
•Adobe Premier > Shotcut, Kdenlive (Easier to use: OpenShot)
•Sublime Text > VSCodium, Notepad++
•Adobe Audition > Audacity
•AutoCAD, SketchUp > FreeCAD
•Adobe Acrobat > Sumatra PDF
•Adobe After Effects > Blender
Dagdag nyo rin yung alternative ni Windows na mga Linux distributions (pero maninibago kayo sa mga softwares and UI, they are not the same, many Windows softwares will not work in Linux).
Pasensya na po at sobrang haba nito. I want to just share some tips para makatulong sa inyo na maging secure.
