Hec Posted June 13, 2017 Author ID:1135295 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hey Kevin, Just one last question so I’m on my way to Montreal currently in New York jfk but that’s besides the point I read everything you sent me but I don’t really understand firewall’s I have glasswire but really glasswire just tells you when something runs or makes a connection which is useful, should I get a different firewall if so which one do you recommend thank you in advance.

kevinf80 Posted June 13, 2017 ID:1135297 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Personally for security on my Windows 10 systems I use Windows own Firewall, Windows Defender and Malwarebytes version 3 Premium.... Never have any problems... Does that help you..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hec Posted June 13, 2017 Author ID:1135299 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I guess I’ll stay with glasswire better to stay with what has worked rather than to download dodgy software but thanks everybody seems to make a big deal about glasswire but when you think about it, it can be useful it tells you just about everything even when files are changed, can get a bit annoying sometimes but better to be safe than sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted June 13, 2017 ID:1135300 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I always recommend that you use what you are comfortable with, if you prefer Glasswire then that is the way to go.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hec Posted June 14, 2017 Author ID:1135733 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Kevin just a quick update I think I found the root of my malware problems, I’m still in my trip but I brought my usb stick turns out it was infected with adaware, I never thought this was a possibility but it happened this is the same usb stick were I had a recovery tool for encrypted files, I disposed of the usb stick and bought a new one I assume that all the security tools already removed the threat like the pup I mentioned in the start of the thread, anyways I plan to install bitdefender usb immunizer and Panda USB Vaccine when I get home haven’t used this usb in a long time so maybe this wasn’t it anyways have a nice day.
