What is your security setup these days?

"CAUTION"-Use it but dont even think about removing it once installed ? right Avi?

 

it is a good software and i will use it in the future as i like it(red color is nice)

 

Absolutely correct. And i am sure they'll soon improve it.. Just give them sometime ... They already made lot of useful and high quality products.

 

My updated setup on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I am much satisfied and secure with it.

1. KIS 2011 CF1 (11.0.1.400 ab) interactive mode and manually configured HIPS, Firewall, Anti-Banner, Custom Scan, and Exclusions for my personal needs. Offline updates via Kaspersky Updater (2.2.0.72) (Schedules every 1-hour). I also use KIS Vulnerability Scan to check system security status. KIS configuration is password protected.
2. Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP), Full Data Execution Prevention (DEP), CWDIllegalInDLLSearch Patch, and User Account Control (UAC) enabled. Software Restriction Policies (SRP) defined as ”Disallow” with additional rules/exceptions. Very secure generic approaches.
3. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 Pro (Protection module enabled/Website blocking disabled).
4. Manually configured WinPatrol PLUS 2010 (18.1.2010) for supplementary HIPS protection as well as useful "Delayed Start" feature. CPU Temp, Windows Task Manager, and Returnil tray icon starts after 10, 20, and 30 sec delay on each restart. To clean my startup list/entries, I use Autoruns (10.02).
5. Monthly backup with Active Boot Disk Suite (5.0.5) bootable USB.
6. Returnil System Safe Home Lux 2011 (3.2.10351-5418-REL3) to virtualize my system most of the time. I disable system safe only for Windows/Software Updates + for KIS updates (every 3 days). It also helps me try new software(s) before actual install on my system. Currently testing RollBack Rx 9.1 (2695223310) to replace RSS.
7. KIS sandbox to virtualize browsing dangerous sites. It works very well.
8. Firefox 3.6.10 (latest build) with ABP (EasyList, Fanboy's List, Fanboy's Tracking/Stats Blocking) , No Script, Better Privacy, Memory fox, and Office 2010 theme for Firefox.
9. All softwares are up-to-date. All those updates (software/windows), which do not require restart, are tested before applying to actual system.
10. Use of common sense (version Beta) and updated knowledge about latest threats.

Any suggestion will be welcomed.

Removed MSE 2.0 Beta because all of a sudden after 4 hours of usage CPU spiked to 100% all the time..

 

decided to try an old friend.

 

trojam this one is a very good one the spider man good detention

 

thanks jmongrel.

 

hahahahah now you are getting even good boy,did you get your coffee yet buddy?

 

yes indeed the spider thing is very good but the firewall is lil bit annoying..

 

I got it without the firewall.

 

do you feel secure enough buddy?

 

Most of you guys are more protected than a nuke facility. I don't even want to know how burdened your systems must be.

 

hey i am getting ready for 2011 are you ready?
and to be honest for this past week i am running only hitman pro and some registry tweaks

 

enough just dont forget scrambled eggs

 

yes keyscramble+hitman pro,PE Guard is having a litle break for now till the new stuff coming soon

 

dont really think you will need anything else though lol

 

Added EMET. Now I have to figure out what to do with it.

 

configure it with max security settings and let the game begin....

 

Installed AVAST! free with CIS and MBAM Pro.Till now....AWSOME!!!!!!!

 

Been using the same setup for over two years but a couple of weeks ago my HDD suffered unrecoverable hardware failure. I had a backup on True Image, but I decided to trim and do a little change after installing a new HDD.

Out went Prevx, in came NOD32 v4.
Out went Sandboxie. Decided it was that or DW, but not both.
The rest I have kept as it was. DW, Ad Muncher and Browser Sentinel. They are my mainstays and what I don't want to be without.

I'm astonished at how quick my pc is now that my HDD doesn't have 50gb of downloaded and tested apps and all those remnant files and registry entries they left behind.

 

good choice buddy

 

I'd never remove Prevx, as it's one out of three security apps that passed the intense testing of Malwareresearchgroup big tests of security applications. It's also the lightest of the three.
