great video, I'm 63 and was always taught to think before you do. Using your head is the biggest thing to keep you safe on the internet. Think twice before you click something, Download, or install anything.
I entirely agree. I'm also a 63 y/o old fart and the "Measure twice / cut once" maxim also embodies this idea. I've been on the internet since it became available to me and have never had any virus infection by using that maxim. I did have to clear one or two viruses from my kids PCs before they got the hang of thinking ahead.
So Untrue..... I use my head 'BEFORE" I secure Windows Now I can click on anything I want and test all forms of malware against my security profile I have been running every form of malware I can find, yet Windows is still secure I have been running Windows XP-SP2 online for over 9 1/2 years without a single malware problem "WHILE" using it to study "MALWARE" It has "ZERO" MS Security updates and is running in a FULL Admin account (Native Boot) Whenever I hear Britec09 make a statement such as True / or Very True, I know he's wrong or VERY wrong! When correctly secured, Windows XP is safe from ALL forms of Ransomware / Wipers / Rootkits Etc. If you run Windows 11, you already have malware Windows 10 AND 11 ARE MALWARE!!!
@@dingokidneysGreat comment which got me thinking ... "Measure twice / cut once" It sounds simple but here's what Co-Pilot delivered whilst I was considering your analogy as a maxim for everyday life it's a bit long but have a read. The saying "Measure twice, cut once" is a valuable piece of advice that extends beyond carpentry and craftsmanship. It encapsulates the idea that careful planning and preparation can prevent costly mistakes or wasted effort. Let's explore this analogy further: - Precision and Accuracy: When you measure something twice before making a cut, you ensure accuracy. In life, this translates to taking the time to gather information, analyze situations, and make informed decisions. Rushing into actions without proper assessment can lead to errors or setbacks. - Forethought and Planning: Before cutting, consider the implications. Similarly, in life, thinking ahead and planning can save time, resources, and prevent unnecessary complications. Whether it's a project, a relationship, or a career move, thoughtful consideration pays off. - Risk Mitigation: Cutting once without measuring can result in wasted materials. In life, hasty decisions may lead to regret or missed opportunities. By measuring (assessing risks) and then cutting (taking action), you minimize the chances of negative outcomes. - Patience and Diligence: Measuring twice requires patience. Similarly, achieving goals often demands persistence, resilience, and attention to detail. Rushing can lead to shortcuts that compromise quality. - Learning from Mistakes: If you cut too soon, you might ruin the material. In life, mistakes happen, but learning from them is crucial. Measure twice, learn from the first cut, and adjust your approach. Remember, this saying isn't just about carpentry-it's a reminder to approach life with care, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to learn. 📏✂ If only....
And some people say that installing Arch Linux is hard. These days, making a Windows system usable by clearing out all the cruft, defeating all the telemetry and installing things like this to make what functionality is built in accessible is at least as difficult. At least with Arch you know that you have only that stuff that you will use and you don't have strange things running in the background doing unimaginable things.

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 has Microsoft Security Essentials program support and still has definition updates with SHA-2 Code Signing Support. But, if you installed SHA-2 Code Signing Support and several updates, you will up to date if I use. I use Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with updated
try this program, its great! it detected every fake virus sample that i throw at it web protection is great detected before and after downloading i also tried all other 3rd party antiviruses before (avast, Kaspersky, bitdefender, avg..) but today i decided to only use defender. cpu usage is also much less
Since installing DefenderUI and setting it to recomended I've noticed the "Antimalware Service Executable" is using about 14% CPU constantley. Anyone know if this is normal?
Brian I am on Bitedefender so could you use Defender UI with it or just use Bitedefender by itself - perhaps Bitedefender would not them both going together? Thanks good video
!! Why Is It with Newer and Newer Platforms of Windows they always claim that the security is better but yet still they always have major flaws and release a new version and expect you to adopt their new version which always removes more and more of your personal security and invade your Privacy??
I was wondering if there was something on out there that would automatically wipe either the whole HDD or specific areas if a wrong password was entered a designated number of times.
Hmm Brian now two things this really gets up my nose when I think that Microsoft have just built in some very basic controls with this Defender security leaving those who rely on it to download this program if they so wish and if they are savvy enough to use it because some of the controls being semi savvy I find some of the controls a tad confusing. The other thing is I run ESET Smart Security/Ultimate on my machines and it takes over the Defender stuff so is it going to affect that control and is it worth my while using this software or is it going to create problems with the ESET security??
I think the recovery portion contains the files to reinstall Windows from the Windows Update/Recovery page in Settings, the drivers are most likely downloaded from the Windows update server.
Recovery partition contains the files of system backup image and files that guide system restoration. I.E If you do a system restore from a restore point.
Dell for one put them there in 10/11 and in some older OS,s like XP we're custom manufacture installs were made they did the same stinky thing too! It's supposed to be a safe/locked area of your C drive but.. you can change it yourself & even delete it, resize it, that'll end badly if not done correctly. I didn't see your 1st comment/post before until now, I was confused for a second haha
Ok yes I understand some big manufacturers like Dell & HP do their own thing under Microsoft OEM license for system recovery image to put the device back to how it was when you first bought it, yes resizing live portions can be dodgy you have to tread carefully !
how to " make Win 11 security better"? against WHOM? MS? their "partners", or their competitors? :( Can''t wait for your vid on " How to Prevent Win 11 from becoming a Subscription OS"
@@miriareu :) and LOL! I have LONG ago quit trying to comprehend the Apple "Sheeple" culture's willingness to embrace Lemming-like behavior, to their financial detriment. :)
@MichaelDustter wait and see..:). I remember when advertising of any kind was forbidden on the internet (arpanet); I remember MS's "REAL SOON NOW" predatory marketing; I remember when Cable Television's pay to play pitch was that you wouldn't have your programming interrupted by advertising...I remember when you actually OWNED your copy of Microsoft's op sys... Here- want a another glass of KoolAid?
I installed windows on a laptop. After that somehow Edge got settings from Edge on another laptop of mine which i consider to be a security breach by windows. So tell me how can i prevent from windows breaking into my computer!!
@@writerpatrick I actuall removed One Drive on the old laptop and turned off lots that has to do with Microsoft but it looks like that is not enough..somehow they are able to collect ''favorite'' Edge links. I think that should be forbidden because hardly any user knows about this/
