What is your security setup these days?

Question is when will they find the perfect setup to keep?

They have an interesting beta. I am sold on Cloud computing though.

 

Even i don't change my Under Garments so fast... "Sorry for Odd Comment"

BTW i guess they'll never find the perfect suite in this lifetime. May be on next birth they'll find a full fledged Security Suite with 101% Detection Rate, Firewall will be 101% hacker proof, 101% Strong Anti-Spam, and with all other features...

This AV will be called "Wilders 360"
"A product invented by 2 Million Researches since AD 2003"

 

How many times you'll be get sold?

 

BTW Alpha Testing Of "WILDERS 360" is started now.

You all are requested to kindly test it on your PC's, currently it has 98.6% of Detection Rate. Firewall is 95.6% hacker's proof. Anti-Spam is 97.6% Spam Proof.....

 

Prolly never, but I hope I personally will and just test software to see what it can do. MD and HostsMan are keepers for me I believe. Only a better HIPS will get me to change MD. HostsMan is a no-brainer as it provides all the HOSTS at my fingertips with freakin' automatic updating! It's awesome! EDIT: Oh right, and how could I forget Hitman Pro - always at top and climbing even higher ever week. OpenDNS stays as long as it evolves and proves itself useful.

 

Through the very helpful suggestiona of Kees, this is the totally free setup that I'm currently running on both my Vista 32-bit laptop and Vista 64-bit desktop:

REAL TIME:
Vista UAC with Norton UAC Tool
Avast! 5 free
Vista Firewall with Windows 7 Firewall Control free
Sandboxie free
Keyscrambler free
WinPatrol free
Secunia PSI

ON DEMAND:
Malwarebytes free
Hitman Pro

Things seem to be running very fast and securely. I do have one question, though. I found out today that I can get Trend Micro Internet Security 2010 for free through my work. I've read some not so flattering things about that particular suite. But hey, I can get it for nothing. Would I be better off installing that, or keeping the setup I described above?

Thanks!

 

IMO your current setup should serve you well.

 

Like LoneWolf, I recommend keeping your current setup.

 

Human Being never gets satisfied, specially if it is related with security setup..

Running NIS 2010, AppLocker & LUA with DEP.

 

Updated Windows XP SP3
Limited User Account (LUA/SuRun) + ACL + DEP

Peerblock (Blocking 2,343,879,513 IPs)
Sandboxie
Windows Defender (with execution control agent disabled)


Google Chrome (Always Incognito, No Extensions, Always Block 3rd Party Cookies, Sandboxed, Limited Rights, ACL)
USB/DVD-drives forced to run on sandboxed with limited rights and without internet access.

Deepfreeze.
Macrium Reflect Free

This time no realtime AV setup. ^^
thinking of adding a software firewall and on-demand AV(s)

candidates:
cfosspeed
Online Armor
Malwarebytes
A2 Free

 

Got rid of Dr. Web, just because i feel no need for it hahaha (Not because it caused problems or lag)

 

You should try Hitman Pro (scan at startup) or Panda Cloud (resident) for light AV setup Konata. Both are super easy to use.

Panda has Cloud technology and has been doing good on BluePoint's tests. Hitman Pro scans with A2, NOD32, Avira, PrevX, and GData all at once.

 

BTW what is this Live Malware Testing @ Bluepoint Website

I have saw some live streaming but they are very hard to see and understand...What they are doing, what they are running is not clearly visible...And i guess those live stream shows are recorded one.

 

@EscapeVelocity
I tried hitman pro on an infected PC.
it does not detect what Avira can detect... why is that?

maybe it does not have Avira's heuristics.

and about CloudAntivirus I dont trust CLOUD technology very much.

If only MAMUTU were FREE.

 

I think Hitman Pro doesnt do a deep scan. But Im no expert. It has Quick Scan and Default Scan(whatever that means).

 

Installed Dr Web v6 got it free from raymond's blog

 

"The Hitman Pro client uses this research in its Behavioural Scan, when it scans the computer for virus activities or suspicous files that have the characteristics of malware...For the files that are classified as suspicious, the Hitman Pro client sends a request to the Scan Cloud for confirmation if these files are indeed malicious...When the file is unknown, the Hitman Pro client uploads the file to the Scan Cloud where the file is scanned using the anti virus programs of 5 different vendors."

 

Thanks for that ALiasEX.

 

You're welcome.

You are correct when you type that it does not perform a deep scan.

Thanks again, ALiasEX, that was very informative. You learn a little bit new everyday.

 

More.

In dire need of suggestions for a really really good FREE ON-DEMAND scanner with REMOVAL.
one with huge updated malware database.

 

I though they removed Avira from their cloud
