I decided put this post in this part of forum because I think it belong here too. Sorry if I made something wrong.
I was never infected or something even I use internet maybe from beginning of its era. (frankly so long I do not remember). Most of the time I was behind router with firewall and just having NOD32 and Outpost up to version 4. And Syware doctor. So I was thinking I am safe etc.
But now NOD32 strat with the version 3.0 and shortly speaking I lost my confidence with it. Also Outpost become problem with my system. So I start looking around.
Solcroft said about strategy and my for sure is not cleaning only. Maby I can describe my strategy and understanding what programs I need to acomplish that as follow:
1. Good inbound protection.
- router with firewall
- software firewall
- antivirus program
- HIPS (behavioural and regular rule based) - maybe fit here?
- real time AS shield - maybe fit here?
2. Good outbound protection.
- HIPS (behavioural and regular rule based)
- software firewall
- antivirus program - maybe fit here?
- real time AS shield - maybe fit here?
3. Making sure I am healthy.
- antivirus program
- ond demand AS scanners (3 of them maybe)
- HIPS (behavioural and regular rule based)
- real time AS shield - maybe fit here?
Also never using IE and Outlook. I try to be safe and download from good sources only what I really need and first read about it somewhere.
Also I do not in which of the 3 departments belong Threathfire and real time AS scanner Like ST or Spyware Doctor.
So my question is is this good strategy? If yes then I just focus on finding proper programs.
I know there are Sandboxie and Virtualization but for me It look like magic and I have to learn first. Also I do not want to much hassle and I am lazy and do not want become security guru etc. Just regular internet user with some p2p.
