What is your security setup these days?

using prevx after a long time

On 2 computers, Sandboxie and Hitman Pro. This is about as skimpy as you can get as I have no real time protection but all outbound apps in Sandboxie. My computer feels like it has been given a dose of Hydroxycut, but since this setup is 24/7 and email open at all times in the sandbox, I want to see how my memory holds up over time.


as light as one can get and still think, they are protected.

I was only testing it to see if it got along with Geswall which it did. However, my computer did freeze on me a couple of times when I did an individual scan for malware via right click on a couple of different downloads.
I was mainly interested in the Outpost firewall and it's too bad that you can't just install it without the AV.
Went back to Comodo firewall along with Geswall and everything is running smooth.

[trjam]

I think Geswall is a, past run.

I can't bring myself to run as light as you, trjam.
I still have the FW/HIPS addiction, and I hate running without Prevx... so there you have it.
Sandboxie ♦ Prevx ♦ Online Armor.

Comments/Suggestions will be welcomed as always

What's with the letters beside the version? I can't seem to find out the meaning of those letters.

For On-demand, I would suggest: Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware or Hitman Pro. KIS already resolved that SAS compatibility issue.

Prevx is very good and may be what I use on a daily basis on the other 2 computers with Sandboxie.

But I am starting to realize like others, AVs just dont get it by themselves.

Added Creer's UAC disabled reg list to WinPatrol Plus. Installed Prevx SOL.

Better late than never.

[kjdemuth]

Yeah I realized that too. About 2 months ago. I was obsessed with detection rates. Now I could really careless.

You should read up on it Noob.

[Noob]

Actually i've installed Ubuntu like 2 times on a real systems and a dozen times on VM.
And every time i wanted to do some sort of complex things (Installing software on my own instead of downloading them from the list and other things) it involved typing loads of commands unknown for me

And i "barely" know how to use CMD

[kjdemuth]

Ubuntu is probably one of the best distro's for linux. Mint is also a good one. Ubuntu is really good if you do a dual boot. That way you don't have to deal with CD's or USB drives. Its also very quick to boot, unlike windows. Ubuntu is very user friendly and comes with a lot of preloaded drivers.

[justenough]

I've had good luck with Ubuntu and Mint. Also look into Puppy Linux live boot disk.

[kjdemuth]

Oh yeah forgot about that one. Thats a good one too. Distrowatch.com is a good place to find some popular distro's. Has a lot of info as well.

[Noob]

Yeah but for everyday usage on my needs (I like to try software etc.) it gets really complex
And with my peanut sized brain i . . . i . . . just cant

I suggest you start with Linux Mint 10 "Julia" (GNOME)... its so easy to use. Noob-friendly
I'm just trying out Ubuntu again but I think of going back to Mint -_-'

Mint is so like Windows

Thanks for valuable on-demand suggestions. I am looking into MBAM and Hitman Pro.
