Ok. I added shadow defender to realtime.

Sandboxie (paid)
Shadow defender realtime
Baby steps folks. One of these days I might ditch my AV. Maybe.

[moontan]

AV scanners are always good to have around to check questionable file.

i don't want any of those running real-time on my machine though. ;)

I'm getting there. I can't honestly say the last time I got infected. Not testing or anything but really stumbled onto something. With that being said I think that I can ditch my AV at any point. I believe that Comodo Firewall with D+ and sandbox, sandboxie and shadow defender running is enough. I can add emsisoft on demand, instead of Emergency kit. I'm hoping that D+ is as good as say spyshelter. Of course being on this forum as long as I've been, I should be able to answer that question. Doubt is a horrible thing.

[Konata Izumi]

I might try to switch to PC-BSD 9 once its released.

right now win7 with the usual OS built-in security + sandboxie + MVPSHOST + OpenDNS.

[ocsi]

What say this security setup:
Panda Cloud Antivirus Free + Sandboxie Paid + Shadow Defender + Malware Defender???

[kjdemuth]

Very nice Ocsi. You might consider a third party firewall. You could ditch malware defender and add something that has a HIPS like Outpost, comodo, private firewall, zonealarm. Other than that you have a good combo.
You could even ditch the AV too. Its the newest thing. Everyone is doing it. ;)

Doubt might not be so horrible. It might be a good way to gauge the level of security you need to be running. From what I can tell here, the more you know about security and how the computer works and your own particular vulnerabilities, the more confidence you naturally have to run a fewer number of security programs, or at least a different kind.

Ok that didn't last long.
I'm back to using an AV.
For some reason I couldn't stand using shadowdefender realtime. I tried to make some random changes to my system so I had to reboot and then make the changes. Very annoying. Now I remember the same reason I never used returnil alot.
Anyway I'm back to using Avast free at the moment. It's actually running lighter than CIS with the AV installed. I'll be keeping my eyes open to see what I can use. Maybe a Anti-EX?

thats not necessarily true, it depends on the user and his situation (if you are referring to using a 3rd party FW) im assuming he does have the default windows firewall enabled so he should be fine.

Hi!
Avast is OK for resident protection. For on-demand scanning I would go with Emisoft, Malwarebytes and Hitman PRO. I would ditch Ad-Aware.
Comodo with Defense+ is great addition.

Hi,

-Avast Free Version (Very good realtime protection and has many communities so, I just use for realtime protection)

-Emsisoft Anti Malware Free Version (Very good malware detection according to PCmag's review so, I use to scan whole PC)

-Malwarebytes Anti Malware Free Version (Very good malware removal according to PCmag's review so, if Avast and Emsisoft detected malware I clean with malwarebytes)

-Ad-aware Free Version (Another very good malware removal according to PCmag's review so, if Malwarebytes not detect malware which detected by Avast or Emsisoft or failed to remove it. I use Ad-aware to clean it)

-Comodo Defense+ (Very good HIPS according to matousec security's test. I think Comodo Defense+ make behaviour shield useless so, I deactived behaviour shield from Avast)

All software above is free for non commercial and it is anti malware + HIPS setup. No firewall,secure DNS,sanbox,and other which not intended to clean malware except HIPS.
What's you think about my anti malware+ HIPS setup?
There's any another anti malware + HIPS setup can beat it?

So,what is you advice?
Thanks.

[1chaoticadult]

IMO I remove Ad-aware. Its not as good as it used to be in the past and EAM and MBAM are both better, which you already are using as well. Other than that I think you are set.

[Hungry Man]

Whatever works for them.

If I wanted a security setup that gave me definitive answers about whether a file was malicious or not I'd use an AV.

I personally am not looking for that so I don't need one, but I see that value.

[cozumel]

-{ Quote: "If I wanted a security setup that gave me definitive answers about whether a file was malicious or not I'd use an AV." }-That's my problem. At home I don't need AV/realtime protection for my pcs. When I'm mobile with my laptop though, people keep wanting to seemingly randomly insert their flash drives into my laptop to transfer files and/or execute them. Need realtime AV protection for that just to protect me from their bad habits.

[Kaizarzz]

-{ Quote: "IMO I remove Ad-aware. Its not as good as it used to be in the past and EAM and MBAM are both better, which you already are using as well. Other than that I think you are set." }-

I think he was saying simply uninstall it and not to change it to something else. Re-read his post.

[Solarlynx]

My security setup now is:

Comp-1:
Windows 7
SUA
UAC at max
hardware DEP on
SRP default deny
CIS 5.5
Sandboxie Free for browsers (Automatically delete, Drop Rights)
HitmanPro
Comodo Time Machine 2.9 beta (very slow comparative to CTM 2.8 )
Norton DNS, Comodo DNS

Comp-2: (rather weaker than comp-1)
Windows XP
Administrator account
Kaspersky (all sheilds are off - only on-demand scans)
DefenseWall PF (IMHO that's stronger then Kaspersky's and COMODO Defense+ protections)
Sandboxie free for browsers (Automatically delete, Drop Rights, I like how Sandboxie deletes sandbox)
Comodo Time Machine 2.8

Comp-3:
CIS 5.3 (quarterly updates and no problems)

One interesting fact: DefenseWall PF makes my comp-1 work more slow with MS Office, starting browsers and some progs and finally killed my internet (that's why I ditched it) only by one reason - I have HP printer on my comp-1 and Canon printer on comp-2. HP driver is somehow incorrect.

I am pretty sure Panda could handle all of my machines alone but I have but I really just prefer to have something along with it as a "just in case" on my family's machines because they seem to like running into malware a lot.

[clocks]

I have actually been testing AVG free with Kingsoft, and no malware has passed it yet. Very light weight and effective combo.

[Ibrad]

That great to here, I have just had to temp uninstall Kingsoft because I need more time for testing and I got a list of papers I have due by the end of this week but when this Weekend comes now that I know Kingsoft works I will do some deeper testing on all of my machines. If Kingsoft continues to keep working on this product they may have found what they need to break out of the China market into the American/European market.

Time to update the security setup on my family laptop

Current Setup:

Panda Cloud
CounterSpy
Winpatrol Plus

New (planned setup)

A fresh install of Panda Cloud
Kingsoft PC Doctor

I will be dropping CounterSpy because it will no longer be renewable soon and although WinPatrol is a nice program since this machine is old I want to go down to two programs instead of three. KPD will take the place of both programs.

The only bad part about this will be the longer boot and shutdown times but this machine is barely shut down and restarted so that should not be to big of an issue.

Got a free year's F-Secure IS, so thought I'd give it a whirl. Undoubtedly the lightest suite I've ever tried - system and browsing lightning fast, suite not too complicated, simple firewall config - can't really find a fault so far. A really nice bit of software :thumb: .

[COMPYPY]

Totally agree :thumb: the browsing speed is very good but however game speed get little affected.
Ist update is terribly long nearly 350 mb :thumbd: and server speed is slow too.
Waiting for 2012 version and hope the free 1 year license can be upgraded :P

[mrfargoreed]

I agree - the update took about fifteen/twenty minutes to install :o , and I'm also hoping that I can upgrade to the 2012 version. I think that's why I'm surprised it's running so lightly, despite the huge update and being a full suite. There's usually some sort of performance loss, but I haven't encountered it yet (not that speed is everything, I understand ;D ).

Oh. Well the BB is back on and so far no conflicts with Privatefirewall's HIPS. Or with Sandboxie or anything else, and no noticeable slowdown. So long as Panda doesn't add a firewall to the free version, I can see keeping this on my computer. Really good experience so far.

I've had 'two different things' conflict on Windows a few times, but I see your point, and it seems to be true of Panda and Privatefirewall. It's been a while since I've run this much security, I'm surprised at how light it feels. And so far everything is behaving.

[Hungry Man]

Comodo has a cloud-based blacklist and heuristics in its Defense+.

[kjdemuth]

Yeah I know. I still wanted a realtime AV. Comodo is pretty light but I've been thinking about using panda cloud AV pro. That way I get comodo's cloud av and panda's cloud av. Two detection signatures are better than one.

What program just slipped Toolbar Cleaner 1.0 onto my computer? Was it Panda?

edit: I'm not sure how Toolbar Cleaner 1.0 got onto my computer, but I ran into trouble after trying to uninstall Panda using RevoPro, everything was freezing up. I have no idea what happened there or which program was at fault, but it is why I don't like running AV programs, they hook deep into the OS. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I've put on a new system image and am back to just Sandboxie and Privatefirewall.

I was also trying the Chromium browser unsandboxed right after installing Panda, so Toolbar Cleaner probably slipped onto my system while browsing.

Yeah I wondered if Panda was just attempting to protect itself from tampering.

ams963's post about BBs getting along with HIPS gave me the idea of keeping Mamutu on with Privatefirewall. So far, so good.

Probably just self-protection as you say. Out of curiosity, why did Panda go so quickly?

I've joined the 'no AV club' with my AMD netbook - as in the two years I've run it, it's never had a single virus download accidentally. I let my wife use it for 3-4 months with no AV, just MBAM Pro and some tight sandboxie rules. Now trying it with just Sandboxie (also Adblocking, Flashblock, etc).

I'm aware that I'm losing the fanstastic MBAM IP protection, but OTOH the Sandboxes do act as anti-executables and the attack surface is low.

Panda went fast because on my computer they all do these days. I think it would be prudent to run an AV, but then I remember my actual experience (which sounds similar to yours): nothing has gotten by Sandboxie in the almost 2 years I've been running it. Which is also about the same length of time I've been learning about safe computing habits, so it's probably all tied in together.

I totally agree. That's one of the reasons I stay on 32 bit systems. Patchguard sucks ;)

[Hungry Man]

Ultimately Patchguard is a much better solution than 3rd party solutions.

Not only that but 64bit = more random. More random = more secure. ASLR sees some fairly significant improvements with 64bit OS's.

[ocsi]

Out of curiosity:
Panda Cloud Antivirus Free + Privatefirewall + Sandboxie + Shadow Defender (Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware Free - for On-demand scan)???
This combination is a good choice?

[tomazyk]

-{ Quote: "Ultimately Patchguard is a much better solution than 3rd party solutions.
" }-

Yes, I know that in a long run Patchguard is better solution for most people (that's why I have put wink at the end).
I prefer using third party software just because it is much easier to manage "rules", to create rules more granulary and to control different areas of system security from one place.

They've worked well for me, haven't seen any conflicts using them together off and on over the last year or so. Since Mamutu is a BB there are some pop-ups, especially in the first week or so, but it'll settle down after that. And my fast computer hardly notices them.

Trying Online Armor for the umpteenth time. It seems like a good idea to keep track of what wants to make outbound connections, and OA is probably more than I need for that simple task, but at least it should get along with Mamutu. In the past I had some trouble with OA, maybe this time it will be ok. If not, I will look into some simpler way to track outbound.

I'm still waiting for Sandboxie & Hitman Pro to incorporate their technologies and create my dream solution: When you go to move files out of the sandbox it automatically connects to HMP's extensive cloud database and scans them first. It only does this for new or changed files, and otherwise no real-time scanning.

If something like this existed I would totally use only it + Comodo FW/D+ and sleep like a baby at night. On Windows 7 I'd combine Windows FW with a light anti-ex instead of Comodo.
