What is your security setup these days?

kees you are very wise and you are giving me good ideas about testing my car,drive my car to my neighbour's car to see how tuff is my bumper

 

I,ve finally come to accept with the departure of both Real-Time Defender & Eqsecure that along with Mamutu that an AV is going to be a consistent "resident" active element of my overall security at this time or untill such time is not needed which i doubt Windows 7 is going to provide the need to do without. Besides, they would close up a lot of industries eventually if they did and it's my experience thats why they release gapping holes in each release of their O/S's anyway in order to keep spinoff security continuing unabated.

Sandboxie and/or Returnil RVS are integral in my experiments as well as additional layers of protection for the general populus so i see them also continuing with the release of Windows 7. I doubt they will ever deliberately draw away security related businesses per any policy desisions in their boardrooms since they partnet with many of them and share secrets to enhance those products capability and keep them in business as well.

On another note, if this MBR stuff begins to show epedimic proportions thats only going to lead some of us including me to turn on DEEP FREEZE + AE as razor wire deflections from this latest ongoing potential threat. Turning to an image to make up for malicious destruction is no option when there are adequate security resources available still.

EASTER

 

are easter for real letting eqsecure go?

 

Nahh it will problably reappear before white sunday

 

Never said anything about letting it go at all, just adding an AV along with it. LoL

 

Well at least you have heaps of snow in the winter to invent a reason for bumping into your neigbours car, also throwing in windows could be justified also, because they were hidden by the snow.

 

Hi Kees

What are the 2 middle system tray icons ?
look pretty cool

 

The blue dot/submarine window is Rising PC Doctor, The band-aid box is a very old application Browser Hijack retaliator (icon looks very simular to Anvir Taskmanager).

The combo works as intended, AVG (former Linkscanner's) exploit-web shield/ is quite effective (see 2nd pic) when surfing to this site https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1446290&postcount=3466 or some problem sites mentioned in PrevX f.i. (now Google blocking = first pic)

 

Wasn't impressed with Avira's BASIC anti-spyware detection.

Using avast! Home again.

 

Been absent awhile but does Avira Free Basic still offer "GUARD" or is that something exclusive for premium Members?

I liked Avira 9 early on but not sure where they are taking it ATM

Yes, Avira free has real-time protection and it also detects spyware now.

 

Well, as my License of Kaspersky Expired, so i had to choose another solution.

Now,

Comodo Internet Security 3.9 Beta
Sandboxie
Mamutu(on trial, testing how is it)

and MBAM, for on demand scans.

 

Yes Free has got a scanner an real time guard. Only limitation is guard defaults to deny access, you have to select delete or quarantaine from the pop-up.

 

Hi Kees, It is being intercepted from day one.

Present setup

Firewalling: NAT Router & Windows Firewall
Realtime Protection: Prevx 3.0 and Sandboxie 3.36
On Demand: Superantispyware Pro
Backup: Acronis TI & Karen's Replicator

 

What happened to "IGNORE"? Did they remove that feature?

Anyway you guys are going to freak on my latest set up brcause i'm using on of those miniature short towers with NO DVD,CD, or Floppy. I'm pinned in with only USB access, so i done this, added ESET NOD32, Cyberhawk, EQSecure, ProcessGuard, Sandboxie, Power Shadow, Snoopfree, and in the dark hidden in the tray is RTD.

My next move since these all seem to coexist surprisingly easy and together, is tomorrow i'm going to chance adding DEEP FREEZE to all this. Then i want to unleash everything i got to see what gets knocked away first, then second, and so forth. If DEEP FREEZE goes down, thats it, because i have no way to make a backup of this baby tower.

The fun begins anew.

 

Sorry maybe that is the default

 

Ahh,

I have tricked the default account of XP Pro in becoming a real account. I had to add the %anyhku% registry key as confidential in resources before it stopped the registry also.

GW stopped teh messages but the icon disappeared, combined with the existing autorun I thought it failed. It did partially, now it works okay, thx for telling

Regards Kees

 

Likewise i was experiencing some sort of glitch in the Avira tray icon. I got to trim my security app back somehow, but grown so accustomed to them over time that it's for sure newer security programs are going to either glitch at times or the old safety apps i use like FileChangeAlarm/ScriptTrap etc.

Oh well, will get this sorted out some way. I did manage to kill one of my hard drives while testing a bad boy file and just didn't have the patience when everything i used did nothing so i took a hammer to it I got more HD's to test these so no more worse for wear i guess.

And by the way OT: ADDED:
East-Tec Eraser

 

Realtime:
DefenseWall v2.54 (beta),
Look'n'Stop v2.06p3 (testing)

 

using CIS last beta + Sanboxie + Eazfix = solid as rock , need no more (and no AV also hehe )


cheers

 

Setup in sig,have no reason to use anything else

 

XP Pro fully patched, XP firewall, Avast Pro and Firefox with NoScript. I really dont think I need anyting else.

 

I'm covered already with what I'm using.
