Those who prefer the 5.4.0.0 version of Windows Firewall Control (WFC) may want to block the domain telemetry.malwarebytes.com:—

 

 

 

Since I've decided not to upgrade from the 5.3.1.0 which does not report telemetry to Malwarebytes, can't identify the IPs that call home — someone who runs the 5.4.0.0 might want to post the IPs involved.

Hello Sirs !

 

I installed Process lasso yesterday, but I do not know how to use it, can you please guide me a bit ?

Until now I used to stop startup with msconfig in run, is there a better way to do it ?

I currently have EEAV by @coua on 1 PC and EAV by tnod on another PC, If I turn off "Live grid" "HIPS" or any other option in them, its dashboard turns fugly red and its notification area icon gets a fugly "❗" mark on it ! is there any way to fix it ?

I use idm for downloads, what is the safest way to activate it ?

And I use win 7, will it be wise to use a tool like WinTools.net to optimize it ?

 

Thanks !

Tell us your prime reason for using Process Lasso and then accordingly, I'll try to post some tips.

In my personal experience no other tool optimizes Windows like Yamicsoft Windows Manager.

The Startup Manager from Yamicsoft Windows Manager offers far more granularity and is more intuitive than MsConfig:—

I was recently introduced to the ESET Endpoint Antivirus (EEA) by vyzzer — the EEA delivers far more granular control than the ESET AntiVirus (EAV) and can be configured to run silky smooth.

 

Can't assist with the the ESET AntiVirus (EAV) since I no longer have it on any of my systems — but, are you by any chance, referring to the following Security Alert?

There are more ways than one — the safest ways to activate IDM (or any other software) are the ones where the digital signature is preserved.

I don't even know what it does exactly, I just want to optimize my system in general, till now I have only learned to put some programs like wfc,Adguard,simpledns, to High priority.
 

BTW : simple dns crypt does not start with the startup programs, I want it to start up, how can I do it ?

It's not at all a good idea to change the priority of applications — especially the ones that form a part of ones security system.

Just ensure that all the following 3 DnsCrypt conditions are met — with special reference to the service:—

Depending on the tools already available on your system, you can use one (or, even more) of the safe following methods to activate IDM — personally, I use the AdGuard and DnsCrypt method:—

• The AdGuard method (thanks to Undertaker)
• The DnsCrypt method (thanks to sledge101)
• The ESET method (thanks to tomm)
• The Registry method (thanks to hamanokaito)
• The cFosSpeed method (thanks to A.lemane)
• The Internet Lock method (thanks to Dukun Cabul)

 

You can lookup more of such method in post # 2 — in case your firewall has the capability, you can lookup post # 1 for the detailed procedure.

Ok Sir, I'll try on of those !

 

And : 

 

Can I use ublock(add on on browser) with adGuard(program) simultaneously  ?

 

My build is quiet old now (c2d E7500, 2x2GB PC2-5300 DDR2-SDRAM UDIMM (Dynet)),

and now the DDR2 2x2GBs of RAM is not able to handle my browsing habits on Firefox.
My mobo does support 2x4GBs of RAM and I've searched online for a 1x4GB DDR2, but surprisingly its a rare thing to find, it probably does not even exist ! : (
Has any of you tried to search or ever had 1x4GB DDR2 RAM ?

Thanks.

It's not necessary to have Simple DnsCrypt on your SysTray Notification Area for it to startup with Windows.

It's possible, I've got both, uBlock and Adguard on my system — however, not simultaneously (they cause conflicts.)

 

I use them for testing purposes — why would you want both of them on your system?

I have handled single 4GB sticks of DDR2 (UDIMM) RAM — however, that was a really long time ago.

 

You . . . . . too, can see them at the following link — but, the sight might give you a rude shock:—

Well, I have ublock as addon on browsers, long before I discovered Adguard(which is this year) 

should I remove ublock now that I have Adguard?

That is twice the nightmare of a price !! : O  WTF 

If I don't find a sane reasonable pair of   4GB sticks of DDR2 (UDIMM) RAM in the local market, then I believe I don't have any other choice but to get an SSD instead.

I've got AdGuard and (uBlock + uMatrix) on my system — the (uBlock + uMatrix) combination is awesome . . . . . however, I find AdGuard superior in every aspect (those who disagree might want to try blocking IDM and other such pests from calling home with any other ad-blocker.)

 

Would suggest having just one ad-blocker operating on your system, at a time.

At that price one could build a nice little core i3 system.

SSD is the best way to go — however before making the purchase, you might want to confirm whether the SSD port is compatible with the one on your system. The good point about an SSD is that one can always transfer it to a new system (laptop/desktop) when disposing-off the old system.

 

The pricing of an SSD makes financial sense and also returns maximum bang for the bucks.

Macrium Review After Using It

 

• Macrium Reflect Home supports MBR, GPT, and even RAID partitions.The beauty of it is, after you install it, click on Other tasks,then select Add Recovery Boot Menu Option, then choose Win PE 10,that way Reflect adds itself as a boot option so if you wanna restore an image,you don't even need to insert the rescue CD,the computer will reboot into the MAcrium Recovery environment and start the restore
• The speed is amazing it takes me 23 minute to backup my OS partition and 25 minute to restore
• Support moving from MBR to GPT and vice-versa.

• Fix Windows boot problems is available in the Windows PE Rescue media environment.To fix Windows boot problems, start your computer with your rescue media inserted.Then, after a re store or clone, to use fix boot problems.

 

Extra INFO : if anyone want to convert system partition from MBR to GPT then use MINITOOL partition wizard PE after that use macrium PE option FIX WINDOWS BOOT PROBLEMS. ffter conversion if you lost your partition then restore partition using MINITOOL then apply macirum boot FIX.

• It is also possible to restore single partition using macrium. This will not effect any other partiton on your HDD. However Windows Inbuilt Tool lack this feature and it will kill other partition.
• Macrium can compress the disk images up to 40 percent. That means the ability to store more copies of backup.
• Schedule/Incremental backups feature also available.

 

At last, Reflect is Necessary software for windows PC.

Will Try Acronis True Image later

 

Thank You
