Thanks friend.I think suites is a easy all in one solution,the thing that worrys about them is are they weak in certain areas.Example a strong AntiVirus but weak firewall or vice versa.look at comodo for example strong hips and firewall but AntiVirus is not really top tier IMO.Some suite are more evenly made, strong Antivirus and Firewall,But all in all I believe in layered.My way of thinking if some piece of malware By passes 1 layer perhaps the second layer will kill it off.On the other hand if a suite is by passed or disabled some how and there is no other layer,Game over.

On my Win7, 32 bit laptop (core 2 duo) I had Emsi, MBAM Pro and AdMuncher running at the same time. The system felt light and responsive. I think the web shield or IP blocker or whatever it is from Emsi was eventually disabled bc it became annoying.

I had the same experience with EAM 6 until I found that one of my add-ons FF was the culprit. In my case, it was a memory add-ons, like Memory Fox.

If you have FF brower, you should check your add-ons and plug ins.

To those that suggested imaging software. After doing a little research it seems to be a backup similar to system restore. Why is regular system restore not good enough? Thanks

-{ Quote: "To those that suggested imaging software. After doing a little research it seems to be a backup similar to system restore. Why is regular system restore not good enough? Thanks" }-
Imaging a system, you are backing up/restoring a copy of your hard disk/partition previously stored else where (external hard drive for example). With System Restore, you are restoring a copy of the registry only, your documents and personal data are not affected.

System Restore is not always reliable, it can break down silently and leave you unprotected when you most need it. Imaging software when it works is really the ultimate recovery even if your hard drive would suddenly die.

There might have been a conflict somewhere between 3 new programs Online Armor, EAM and Ad Muncher, there were problems in browsing. Removed Ad Muncher and added back Ad Block Plus to Chrome. Turned off the Guards in EAM and will add them back one at a time. Online Armor is doing really well, I think it's been improved since I tried it last about half a year ago.

There is an known issue with EAM and Ad Muncher. Look at the quote from Shadek below and also on Emsisoft forums: http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/6617-ad-muncher-issue/

-{ Quote: "The problem with EAM is that it isn't compatible with AdMuncher and Chrome. You have to exclude Chrome from protection in EAM in order for AdMuncher to filter ads/tracking cookies at all... that's simply not acceptable. I've reported this during beta of EAM 6... but it hasn't been fixed yet and I dare to say it's been ignored.

That's why I recently bought OA++ which works PERFECTLY... only to find a few hours later that it will soon become abandonware... and I don't want to be converted to Emsisoft Internet Suite... I already have that, remember? That's why I bought OA++ in the first place." }-

Still running with Webroot (WSA) Antivirus along with OA Premium. I have licenses to WSA and Panda Cloud and consider them both great programs. Will probably rotate them in the next few weeks to give me a different icon in the taskbar for a spell.

Is McAfee Internet Security worth a try?
Anyone got advice or should i just use my current AV ( Avira free)

[Trooper]

Hi guys quick question about EMET.

What are the default settings when you first install it? You know for DEP, SEHOP, and ASLR? I need to revert a machine back and I dont remember. :doubt:


Thanks guys!

I belive you can use profile "Recommended security settings". If I use it I get all set to Opt in.

[Hungry Man]

I use Always On for DEP
Opt Out for SEHOP
Opt In for ASLR

Just so it's clear
Opt-Out: A program has to opt out or be forced to use the technique
Opt-In: A program has to say it wants to use that technique

So Opt-Out is the more secure version.

Stay with your current Av or upgrade to the paid. If you do upgrade install the Av first then your other security software to avoid incompatibility warnings. McAfee's detection rates aren't where they should be.

[Ranget]

Still with the same Setup :/

Kind of thinking running Nude for a while
Just system hardening and Windows Firewall

anyone know a Good system hardning List?

anything other than SRP/LUA/UAC max ?

[justenough]

After a little tweaking, Online Armor and Emsisoft Anti-Malware are working smoothly with my other programs, and very little slowdown. My only concern now is that I might have more than I need installed, but that seems to be a hobby I enjoy, always looking for just the right balance.

I'm really impressed with how much better Online Armor is running since I last tried it. Of course that might be because of an improvement with another program that was interfering with OA, who knows. So I'm keeping OA, and I might replace EAM with something lighter though probably less effective.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 and mbam pro will be here permanent and i am thinking of adding OA Premium;)

that combo ran very nice for me...I did not like the http filter or whatever Emsi uses unless it has made exclusions easier to manage on the fly. But Emsi and MBAM run smoothly together and I would have a hard time finding a combo with a higher level of detection.

I'm thinking of running Emsi along side Nod32 av with the Nod HIPS disabled and just let Mamutu do the behavior work. I guess I would need to disable on access scanning of Emsi?

[jmonge]

good choice:thumb: :thumb:

I went back to NOD32 after I got used to its lightness, simplicity (Works with all browsers and does not install any toolbar) as well as having an excellent protection.

I do not change more.

Honestly, I do not see why going to the Norton, I think that NOD32 simple and effective. At this point, NOD32 is my first choice. :thumb:

Adding BitLocker for full Windows 8 drive encryption.

[Hungry Man]

-{ Quote: "NIce and light with added security measures. No flash support though. That's a deal breaker for me." }-
There is likely flash support, it just isn't built in.

[kjdemuth]

There is but its buggy at best. The last time I tried to run a flash program as an add on it crashed dragon multiple times. I know that its one of their increasing security limiting attack vectors by not having flash built in. I don't think that is necessary to remove it entirely. Maybe make it an option to add it, if needed. There are enough browsers out there to choose from, I think a lot of folks will find that not having flash built in is inconvenient.

[Emetic]

I've been using Dragon for a month or two now as a second browser. It is really quick to start and shutdown and I have had no problems watching youtube stuff in it (which uses flash as you know).

I have it setup so it uses the Comodo DNS whereas usually I use Norton.
So that's a quick way to check out a page that isn't working in Opera (my main browser) to see if it is a dns issue. Very often if it won't work in Opera, it will work in Comodo. I use firefox occasionally too.

Lightweight and efficient. And very compatible. Great second browser with the DNS alternative setup. :thumb:

I switched to this over a month ago and am loving it. It is so light that I don't even notice it.

[The Oracle]

-{ Quote: "Switched to dr.web for the first time" }-

Not for nothing, but I picked up something pretty serious on my system and out of ALL the programs I use, rescue disks, etc...(this includes Kaspersky, Norton, MS, MBAB, Spybot, Avast, AVG, Emisoft, all used to try and detect it and failed and even often paralyzed most of these apps from working at all) and Dr. Web was the only one that picked it up and told me for sure I was infected. Somehow this bug was even able to disable Dr. Web from creating a log file and going any further other than telling me I was infected in rescue mode, so I couldn't tell what I had or remove it, but it was the ONLY one out of the bunch that confirmed that I was in fact diseased.

Don't know if that means anything to anyone, but something to think about.

Unless you use IE, it does not add much protection over PrevX4/WSA.

Did play a little with the settings of WSA, for instance on my wife's laptop I have heuristics:

LOCAL: apply advanced AFTER age: Medium (advanced) - High (age) - Medium (popularity)

USB: warn for all NOT TRUSTED - HIGH (advanced) - LOW (age) - HIGH (popularity)
*** makes it a sort of advanced whitelist ***

INTERNET: same as USB

NETWORK: apply advanced BEFORE age: Medium - LOW - Medium

DVD: warn for all NOT TRUSTED: Medium - LOW - HIGH

OFF Line: apply advanced BEFORE age: HIGH - LOW - LOW
