Thanks trjam. I arrived at this setup over time. Unfortunately programs change and i am forced to move on. I had Outpost for almost 5 years, but it did not play well on my current system and I was forced to abandon it rather then trouble shoot each updated version. The last forced an OS reinstall. Current setup works well and hope it lasts awhile.

IMO if you use DWPF you don't need MD and SB.

[G1111]

-{ Quote: "IMO if you use DWPF you don't need MD and SB." }-
I agree on SB, but it is free and doesn't use any resources. I look at it as some extra protection for when I use IE8 which is rarely. I don't agree on MD. It covers some keylogging that DW does not. Also, I believe it covers the one thing that DW missed when you ran the leaktest (files being dropped in system). For me it nicely compliments DW's already great protection. Sure I could probably get a way with just DWPF and KAV but I like being paranoid.;) BTW, I use MD with network protection disabled.

I've been away from here in around 1.5 years. I've only had one infection on one of my computers since that time. The free version of Avira that I was previously using kept getting issues with trying to connect to the server to get the update. It failed for several weeks and then a new malware popped up and my "outdated" AV program could not detect it. I dumped Avira and now use Avast and the updates are ALWAYS done right within a few minutes after I power on the PC. Avira is a good product, but the free version's ability to connect to the company's servers is very prone to failure and therefore not a reliable product to use. Of course, the paid version is probably different.

Good Evening ! Hello to jmonge, yes I'm using Hitman Pro 3.5 the paid version ! I use it as an on demand app, as I'm pretty sure you can't configure it to a scheduled scan, at least there's nothing in the Settings page that denotes that it's available. I'm pretty sure it provides a boot time scan. But I'm impressed with it's Speed and Minimal Gui. And I'll use it primarily as a compliment to Prevx and Vipre Premium 4.0. Sincerely...Securon

why not disable the firewall of defensewall?

[G1111]

-{ Quote: "why not disable the firewall of defensewall?" }-
I did the opposite. I have the firewall (inbound/outbound) enabled in DW. I also leave the Windows XP firewall on (as per Ilya). I have the firewall disabled in MD. If I am going to be away from the computer for any length of time I switch MD to silent mode, enable all protections and lock user interface (password protected). Since I don't create any permanent rules in MD for network protection it sort of locks the computer.

Layered protection. Different programs take care of different risks. There isn't one single app that covers everything.

I'm all about layered protection ,I have CIS AV, ClamAV, MBAM & SAS (2 real-time, 2 on-demand) but 6 on-demand scanners? You seem to be satisfied with that but don't you figure you have some major overlap there?

[Scoobs72]

-{ Quote: "Layered protection. Different programs take care of different risks. There isn't one single app that covers everything." }-

Sometimes less is more. You have so much kernel hooking going on there, that the moment you do hit some serious malware none of your protections may work. The potential for hidden conflict between all these applications, regardless of whether they are running realtime or on-demand is enormous...giving you a real false sense of security. Safetyfirst may just have turned into safetylast.:dry:

Well good luck, you'll need it with that mess of a setup :)

[Watasha]

My system is clean and has been for quite some time now. I figure if it's already clean and I have good prevention (FW, resident AV, D+ etc.), with a little common sense it should stay that way. If it doesn't I have a FEW scanners to tell me so. If you have faith in yourself and your (proactive) security setup, you shouldn't need 72 scanners. That being said, if you like them and like playing with software, fine, to each their own. But 6 on-demand?....:wacko: ;D

~ Virus Total Results Removed per Policy (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=180057) ~

well from seeing the results you can ask yourself now if your security setup really protects you or not since the major known security software did not even protected you from this virus like Eset,Avast,a aquared and especially avira.

yah some people will say their firewall or hips will protect them but if you can imagine one of your family is using your computer and your hips pop up a message or firewall for sure the newbies will just click allow and do damage on your computer then your security setup is bypassed!

You have just described the impotence of security.

Those here who have a desire to learn and play, are much safer than the casual user. They can create elegant schemes, hack-n-whack schemes, Fort Knox schemes, ultra light schemes, and it does not matter per se, because of the level of knowledge that needs to be present. Seeing an attachement with an executable inside, heck, even knowing what an executable is, will prevent so many problems from arising.

All the testing that goes on here, is fun, and can teach you a lot, but is IMHO basically useless for the masses. We can all agree that this is secure or that is secure, but if we put most of our methods onto a casual users computer, they will still get infected.

It all boils down to knowledge. Computers are not complex to me, but they are to many I know. Figuring out my taxes is an exercise in frustration to me, but not to a few that I know.

I think perhaps the best to do anymore is just teach them some imaging, some safe hex regarding online transactions, and how to do a proper backup of critical data, and call it good. I don't see any real way to 'cure' thier bad habits and lack of desire to understand.

Keep up the testing here, as we all learn from it ;)

I certainly think so. I already think using OA with GW is overkill. ;D I'd use GW and add some on-demand checker, like the combo of MBAM and HMP - the two complement each other just perfectly.

The reason I suggested HMP and MBAM instead is because I've had better experience with those, respected by others for their effectiveness. HMP is also guaranteed to ALWAYS be up-to-date with its results as it asks the cloud.

[kjdemuth]

MBAM Pro right? I don't think that OA and geswall is overkill. OA has its hips and i'm not using the runsafer for browsers. GesWall is my isolation program. Similar to the OA++ and sandboxie that alot of folks use.

Updated from Dr.Web AV -> Dr.Web AV Pro to get the firewall. Used to have XP firewall but Dr.Web Pro brings more flexible packet filtering, application control and it is harder to disable by malware. Small and simple improvements :)

[kjdemuth]

Added MBAM to the mix. without IP filter.

[jmonge]

mbam pro is cool;)

[kjdemuth]

Yeah i was playing around on malware domain and had downloaded a trojan. OA++ didn't find it. I ran MBAM and it picked it right up. Of course I had the trojan isolated under geswall. I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

[jmonge]

cool;)

I'm on a program changing spree here. Got rid of MBAM. Got rid of geswall. Added Sandboxie paid. kept OA++.

Can OA and CIS or something similar be in a combo? How does OA free's features compare to COMODO's DDP and (automatic) sandbox?

Good Evening ! Real Time-Avast 5.0 Pro and Prevx 3.0-On Demand-MBAM. Avast is a proven product and the Virtualization Process is an interesting concept that seems to do what it's intended to do and that's protect and safeguard your browser and surfing activities. Oh and I almost forgot to add that I'm utilizing P.C.Tools Firewall Plus. Sincerely...Securon

[kjdemuth]

Ok. Sandboxie....Gone. I didn't like that it didn't recognize my bookmarks. Also it was a little slow opening up firefox. Went back to Geswall.

[jmonge]

i heard good things about geswall:thumb: even the free version is very powerfull:thumb:

I don't think you would want to run OA and comodo together. Both have HIPS and both have firewalls. Remember 1 av, 1 hips, 1 firewall. OA free doesn't have web, mail or phishing sheild. Comodo is a great free product. If I was going to choose I think I would run Comodo without AV and add avira or avast to the mix.

[kjdemuth]

It means that you are running alot of security software that you might not need. KIS has sandbox feature in it. Also I don't think you need appguard. Seems like a little overkill to me. No offense to you set up.

KIS is all you really need. It has application control. So you don't need Appguard on there. MBAM is good for 2nd opinion scanner but I highly doubt you will get anything if you have KIS properly configured. That's why he says its overkill. Use common sense and KIS and you're set.

KIS can be configured to serve as an anti-executable as well.
Go into Settings > Application Control > Other applications > Assign the following status automatically = Untrusted.

Now when you try to run something that KIS isn't familiar with then it'll get blocked and you'll have to manually go into your Application Control and change its status to Trusted or Low/High Restricted, but you could eliminate another realtime security application.

Just a tip in case you weren't aware.

[brainrb1]

i tried MSE for six months with sandboxie for a while. i was never infected but something wasnt right ... the start up was fast etc but it just didnt feel ok to me so i moved to avast free and sandboxie and i feel great so its whatever makes you comfortable with is the right setup. i use vista firewall for the same reason because with other firewalls i didnt know what all the popup out-going connections were so it was better that way... even surfing dark corners of the net i have not been infected with this simple setup. no need to get too paranoid guys....backing up and encrypting data is better than having too many realtime applications which kill the system....

ACL no execute registry tweak for downloaded executables (softened up SRP because this tweaks works so well, also with Chrome)

ACL taken away add value, create subkey and delete rights of vulnarable user space keys of LUA user, taken away write access to menu program start and tasks

Chrome with SiteAdvisor for Chrome, new tab behaviour, IE tab, Adsweep, Flashblock and Click & Clean
Note I have set the session ID to zero and made the 'local state' file in the Google/Chrome/User Data folder as read only. Chrome is launched with --safer-plugins switch

Avast file shield Although Avast is the lightest (when I use File and Behavioral Shield) in terms of CPU and I/O (better than other freebies like Panda, AVG Avira, Rising), I could not resist trying CLAMAV-IMMUNET I have set for check on program start also, but since Clam AV offers to exclude files and folders I have disabled protection on Windows and Program FIles.

Trusteer Rapport (settings eee http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1640208&postcount=7161)

Hitman Pro on demand Because Immnunet-Clam does not have a right-click context scanner I have added A2 Free for on demand (A2 is updated through A2CMD /U in autostarts of all users). Reason to prefere A2 over Hitman is the update command line option.

Raven thanks,

Yes Hitman Pro has a command line option, but I run LUA and use Steel Run AS for admin programs. Steel Run as encrypts admin password and checks the CRC hash of the program. Because HMP needs admin rights and it changes the executable when updating (so CRC hash changes) I am not able to run it from LUA.

The only currently installed app I have right now is MBAM, been on here sense the early MBAM beta days. Which I currently only run as on demand.

I am always in Shadowmode so if I feel like running a scan with another scanner, I simply download whichever scanner I wish, run a scan, when nothing is found, which is almost always the case, except for the occasional false positive, a simple reboot and the app is gone. At least that is the way things are for now.

[sunoracle]

I will be setting up a new computer within the next day or so. I decided to make the jump from XP to Window 7, and from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows all at the same time.

I'll almost certainly be using NOD32 AV. I've been using it for a number of years and it works quite well. (It would be nice if it did a better job on other types of malware though. But I suppose being really good at one thing is better than being mediocre at a lot of things.)

To supplement NOD32, I will probably be using MBAM. I use their real-time protection module too.

I will also keep the free version of SuperAntiSpyware installed, and scan occasionally with it.

I had been using Comodo firewall, but was never really satisfied with the quality of the software or their support and polices.

So, I need to figure out what exactly I'm going to be using for security software, and a firewall in particular. I was reading about some software called Windows 7 Firewall Control that uses MS's WFP. It seems like a good solution.

Trying newest comodo firewall ver 4 and Avira premium 10.
Sounds good at the moment.

[xnevermore]

trying avira premium security suite version 10 its out!!!!

[kjdemuth]

Went back to OA and geswall. Comodo would hang on some websites. I went to download avast and it would hang trying to open avast site. Maybe a problem w/ avast website. Except I just went to it w/ OA installed and didn't have a problem.

[IBadget]

I'm back to using CIS 4 after the bug-fix update. Yesterday, the Comodo Sandbox stopped rogue Security Tool from installing. Hooray! Comodo is really on the right track about stopping 0-day malware.

[xnevermore]

new setup,

vipre premium + defensewall

[xnevermore]

-{ Quote: "Vipre Premium, DefenseWall 3 RC 1, Zemana Antilogger and Malwarebytes Anti'Malware on demand.

Not bad set i think ;)" }-

i think its overkill vipre premium has a firewall anti keylogger and etc.

defensewall 3 has firewall also and has some anti keylogs and hips also?

zemana antilogger do the same thing

well my 2 cents

[kjdemuth]

Yeah you could do with out zemena. As far as two firewall, I think Illya said that defensewall firewall could be used next to another firewall. Not that I would. Other than that its a great set up.

[xnevermore]

well i follow the rules of 1 layered security because i believe always that using 2 security product which do the same thing as the other will do more bad things than good in your security setup

trying out

Vipre premium

Some small changes

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Windows Firewall: on, Windows Defender: off, UAC: full, DEP: on all programs and services

Browser: Internet Explorer 8, dropped Google Chrome (although it's seperate processes are good), I discovered after deleting all my other browser I actually don't have any problems with IE8, the OS integration is perfect, it is really safe. And when you are just surfing around on sites you hardly notice it is that much slower than Google Chrome according to the tests.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2 realtime
Hitman Pro 3.5 64-bit on-demand (paid)

I do like simplicity ;D

[Noob]

I'm still on my A-Squared V5 + ESET NOD32 Smart Security.

Probably will change NOD32 when trial expires.

Hey noob, What release is A2 ver5 up to?

Still sticking with the setup in my signature. It's been like that for a while and has performed amazingly well. Don't see a reason to change, as I have tested many AV's especially and none have performed better than KAV.

Anything needed to make PC Tools Firewall work with KAV and your other programs? Rock solid setup, what I would probable use if I went 64-bit.

Tried the new BB (behaviour blocker) beta(in German) about a month back
and it seemed good, but after a few days realised my "command" of German
was likely to lead me astray!! Why is G-Data such a big download? Saw it at
Rokop forum.

According to what i've read they said they improved the BB in G-Data 2011 xD
+ other things

[dw426]

Behind a router with the following.


Added:


Comodo v4 Firewall/D+ on Paranoid mode

Opera

Chrome

Prevx Free

Peerblock

Secunia PSI

Avast 5 Free



On-Demand Scanners:

MBAM Free

SAS Free

Hitman Pro



Removed:

MBAM Real-time

SandBoxie

Firefox


Under Consideration:

Returnil


I'm really trying to get away from real-time protection as much as possible. After some consideration, I finally made the move away from Firefox. To work around the lack of NoScript and AdBlock Plus, I have added the MVPS Host file to my system to combat ads and some malicious websites. As far as Javascript goes, due to both Opera and Chrome being less vulnerable, I have opted to keep Javascript on as neither browser gives the ability to tweak script settings beyond on or off, and far too many websites are rendered useless with it off.

[firzen771]

removed avast free and added ESET NOD32 v4.2 with the license giveway prize i got.

its running pretty smoothly and light, dont notice a diff between NOD32 or avast so its def nice and light. a couple "irritations" but nothing system critical, just personal preference annoyances. but overall pretty good so far.

ye i won the smart security as well, but with the way ESET works wen u try to disable certain modules, i cant handle dealing with the contstant yellow icon because i wuld be disabling the firewall and antispam if i did use the suite, even having the email scanner in NOD32 is kinda annoying for me since i cant fully disable it without getting a stupid yellow icon and no way of turning that off either...

Kaspersky, Avira, avast! and Symantec Corporate/EndPoint products offer fully component based installations, without nagging you about non-present components. Thats one reason I don't use NAV/NIS/360/ESET. Component based install is a big thing for me.
P.S. - AVG too offers that sort of option, but lets not bother with it.

My pc is 5 years old and i'm a security maniac so for the last 5 years i have been searching for a way to combine best performance with best security... my setup is :
Malwarebytes Pro in realtime
Superantispyware, A-squared and Hitman Pro(trial) for scanning(along with MBAM)
Spybot's immunization and Spyware Blaster as a second layer of defense
Hardware Firewall (my router's)

I'm really happy i haven't got any infections since i started using this setup :)

A have also tried every other way of protection (software firewalls, hips, mvps hosts file, etc) and i have to admit this is the one that i rely on the best ;) (mvps disabled google from loading and hips products kept asking for permissions pfff) So my pc is running like new
