    Pretty easy, until installing or scanning.

    I like to analyze new unknown downloads via VirusTotal (or Metascan), URLVoid, CIMA, and Valkyrie. If still suspicious, run them in Sandboxie or VM, and maybe even Autoruns. Then there are the Comodo prompts.

    Scanning requires a bit of work updating, choosing proper targets, and one core.

    If you want to test it download BackTrack 5 and use MetaSploit. There are lots of guides on how to use it. Or use S.E.T (which is automated more or less) and test it that way. You can PM for help if you want.

    Not sure about the update frequency, a quick look at the forum and I see 2 updates in the last 5 months. After a day of use, I like it, it's fast and I can use the 3 security extensions I need, plus one for smooth scrolling with the ball on the trackball (couldn't do without that).

    HIPS? What HIPS?
    OA HIPS deactivated.jpg
    Now running Privatefirewall and Online Armor on 2 computers without HIPS.
    I think I have enough security layers to go it without all the added process monitoring.
    Every internet-facing app is sandboxed (with internet & start/run restrictions plus Drop Rights and auto-delete).
    VIPRE AV is running real-time, along with MBAM Pro (which has an IP block anyway).
    Chrome is quite secure,
    and I'm using Norton DNS.
    I feel good.
    :cool:

    Just backed up my CIS config, uninstalling.

    I'll leave my old setup post untouched in case I am too lazy to rewrite it if I ever readd it.

    Slower than: Norton 2012, Avast!, Avira PSS, OA++, MBAM Pro + Mamutu.

    Equal to: Emsisoft Anti-malware 5.0, .

    Faster than: BitDefender 2012, Returnil SS Pro 2012.

    The lightest from all I've tried in my life:
    Webroot SA and NOD32. Immunet also, but not very usable.

    Hello,

    Yes, I run both programs realtime. I haven't had any performance issues (although my PC is a 3.00Ghz Pentium D). I used to run Ad-Aware and ioBit Security 360 realtime as well, but had to remove them because they became bloatware and caused too much system drag with my other programs.

    Regards,

    Nathan

    Outside of being too lazy to set up AppLocker I'm happy as it is.

    I don't think I need it. I can just right click a folder and deny execute in it. And then I suppose I can use applocker to allow only a single program to execute from there? IDK.

    You seem resistant to it, without trying. But nobody is forcing you to use it either. There is no point in even talking about it if usage are not in your plans.

    I've used it before.

    I currently have a rule:
    Action: Deny
    User: Everyone
    Name: (Path to my AppData\Roaming\Digsby\*)
    Exception: Yes (Digsby)

    I suppose I can just keep doing this.

    Based on that rule no program other than digsby should be able to access that area, right?

    Since you used it before then why didn't you just say that lol. User: BUILTIN\Users should be used instead IMO. I auto-generate rules which using publisher then file hash for executables and scripts. So for Chrome as an example I just auto-generate rules for chrome's directory (C:\Users\Nero\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome), which mostly will end up being publisher rules as most of chrome executables are signed.

    I played around with it briefly. I'm definitely not experienced with it, a complete novice.

    At the moment these are my rules:

    Is it possible to simply do rules by Digsby and have a single rule rather than multiple? I guess I'll find out haha
