Bad themes installed?

Solution; uninstall all themes except Evolve.

Go for it a couple of days and see...also some app may cause this issue, for example Netqin, antivirus/firewall apps, Belle extra buttons...just thinking out loud here.

 

How to block any Gaming Evolved Apps from being installed on Windows 10.

Original Title: Gaming Evolved Apps

Can I permitmently block any Gaming Evolved Apps from being installed on my Windows 10 computer?

 

I seriously doubt that their is another single company that put as much hardware, and personnel dollars into security that Microsoft does.

Yet their are so many reports, test, blogs and posts all over that keep telling all of us that Microsoft security programs are not top shelf.
My personal beliefs are that Microsoft does a very good job with security but causes a problem in the market place.
That problem is in most cases their programs for security are free. Those companies selling programs do not like Microsoft's method of free security.
I personally use Microsoft Security Essentials with Windows 7 and when I do use W-10; Defender was my choice of security.
I do use Malwarebyte's active in conjunction with Microsoft security programs which are also active.

They have always worked for me. At times I do use other programs when I believe necessary for a simple reason.
I'm paranoid and like to check my system with other trusted programs to verify Microsoft and Malwarebytes are doing their job. I can only remember one virus that got in my system in the last 2 or 3 years and I believe that happened because I was downloading programs after a Clean Install and I wasn't paying attention as well as I should of been and gave permission for the bag guy to sneak in.

The end game is, I believe the information that Brink has posted from Microsoft. I'm a simple home user but still need security just like the big boys.

Just my opinion.

At some level we all have a problem of one kind or another at some time. Most of my life was spent with the attitude that if I thought you were an SOB, I wanted you to be the first to know. Eventually I got to trying to be equally generous with compliments.

When we have a problem we want everyone to know about it. If things run smoothly we tend to be quiet about it. After all, who wants to hear about is NOT broke or malfunctioning? I think maybe that gives us a distorted view of the subject.

I'm pretty sure if I had some of the problems I've read here, I would be telling everyone that would listen about them. And I can do that with some colorful language that isn't soon forgotten. Meanwhile, I'm thankful that I've been lucky.

 

Windows Defender and MBAM on demand on the side has kept my laptops running smooth and virus/malware/pup free for years.

I can't say the same when I used to be vigilant about which AV topped the detection/elimination test of the month charts and trying them out - I'd experience computer slowdowns, problematic signature updates - sometimes very serious, annoying upsell with the free ones and even occasionally getting a serious virus or malware that required extra tools to remove - usually due to overconfidence in the program. I later decided to always be careful of what sites I visit, what links I click and what programs I download. Since then I haven't had any problems and with Windows defender and MBAM as back up allowing my computer to function smoothly without annoyance and intrusion I'm confident I won't have any problems.

Though I do wish they would fix the exclamation issue already.

 

Yes, they do, even more, because they are focused on security only, WD team is only one branch of Microsoft. Not to mention, that all those great features are mostly available only for Enterprise users, like ATP. I use WD on mom's computer, but for a real user, I would not recommend WD, there are better options.

I have never had much fate in AVs and always considered them as just another security layer. Until last year and W10 and it's WD becoming a full fledged AV (and some other things), I didn't use any other AV with none of bad effects. Learning how to protect yourself is best policy. There's no insurance for "stupid".
I occasionally do a full sweep with it, Mbam and AdwCleaner just for good measure. If I ever suspect some other security related problem, I usually use a program that addresses that particular matter and or online and offline scans.

 

Which (inevitably) brings rather unexperienced home users like myself to two direct questions:

1. Would you advise an average and yet rather prudent user to rely only on WD in a Windows 10 (e.g. Home) environment or for the time being a "solid" and possibly not free (internet) security package should be still regarded as a top priority within a family budget?
2. Moreover, the fact that WD has evolved so much, should be considered as a deterrent to install on the same machine other firms' antiviruses or security packages out of fear of some possible hidden incompatibility between the Microsoft program and the other one (even if of course the mere fact of installing another ware should automatically and completely disable WD)?

Thanks a lot *Smile

 

defender isn't "top shelf" cause there is very little you can tweak in it to you needs

 

Except for those tweaks built in WD, what else do you tweak in other AVs ?

 

I think if anything doing the opposite makes more sense.

compare the user controlled settings in bitdefender total security and wd and just try to tell me again that wd is as customizable.

 

I used many AVs during the years including Bit defender just over a year ago. I'm pretty sure I know what they can do. I asked about specifics, not some general thing.
