Avast Internet Security
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
KeyScrambler
Ad Muncher
OpenDNS
Secunia PSI
Macrium Reflect Complete

Fairly light, swapping between Avast and ESET as the main protection from time to time though...both seem light, what do you think?

In the description of OpenDNS it says "basic malware and botnet protection" or something like that. I guess they provide the best overall connection performance over other DNS services because they been around for long, or does it really matter?
My browser is Opera 11, without any extra security layers.

I will try this setup on my PC later. The Default-deny/VirtualBox setup.

Standard User Account + UAC + EMET + Parental Controls + SRP

• Parental Controls only allow Virtualbox to RUN.

I will make a virtual machine for my multimedia/gaming session and another virtual machine for secure browsing.
That's it! no need for realtime apps

[blasev]

Thx noob
I hope the final is released soon

@konata:
A good idea but my rig can't do that, since playing game on virtual machine will make it crawl in the floor

[moontan]

after running a couple of months under a restricted account i went back to admin.
but i kept UAC at max.

and re-installed Sandboxie.

@ams963: It's good, just add disk imaging and maybe ClearCloud or TrafficLight.

@Kernelwars: OpenDNS sucks compared to Norton or ClearCloud. It's malware blocklist is so basic that you'll have a hard time finding something it can block (other than phishing).

@Konata Izumi: If you still have 1 GB of RAM, you won't experience good performance.

Ah...someone else bounces between Avast IS and ESET...I really like a light system and these two are about the best although I have to admit NIS 2011 seems very light as well and all three work fine.

Yes indeed, as always

Try it you too, you won't be disappointed

After years of only really liking one security product, ESET's solutions, I am starting to doubt. Despite ESET for Windows generation 5 Beta is extremely good, light an unobtrusive, easy to use and a good user interface, and ofcourse effective protection; I am seeing the incredible potential Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Beta has.

I have been trying the Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Beta for a couple of days now (after trying ESET Smart Security 5 Beta) and I must say it is a huge improvement over last year's version. Kaspersky's protection has always been very good, although it had a little dip sometime ago, and it has been top-notch in the last tests again.
The biggest improvement is also the improvement which had to be made, since that was my biggest complaint about KIS 2011. KIS 2012 Beta is really much lighter on my pc, whereas KIS 2011 was the most bloated security product I had ever seen.
Although with KIS 2012 Beta I experienced one issue I also experienced with KIS 2011, slow scan speeds. A full scan takes more than an hour, whereas ESET completes it in about 35 minutes and products like avast! even faster. The problem is at the most important system folders (system32, etc.) where scan speeds on dll and exe files are really slow. For example scanning of two files, regedit.exe and notepad.exe takes four minutes! However after those files have been scanned scanning seriously speeds up again. Some scan reports, in which I see a lot of rootkit scans being performed (four in six hours!):

• Critical Areas Scan: completed 1 day ago (events: 2, objects: 4774, time: 00:17:42)
• Full Scan: completed 23 hours ago (events: 1229, objects: 424221, time: 01:01:09)
• Rootkit Scan: completed 22 hours ago (events: 2, objects: 2069, time: 00:21:47)

A great improvement is the new user interface in my eyes, which is really beautiful and easy to use, in fact I think it is the best user interface I have ever seen in a security product.
Next to that KIS 2012 Beta still has the strenghts it had: a great firewall, great application control, great advanced configuration possibilites. Thanks to the great firewall and great application control KIS is one of the few (maybe the only) internet security suites which is worth the upgrade compared to the antivirus version.

The configuration I am using is really simple, but in my eyes provides the best balance of performance, protection and usability. Perform a default installation of KIS 2012 Beta and make the following changes:

• change the run mode of updates to every 1 hour;
• enable proactive defense for keyloggers;
• enable detection of the 'other programs' category of threats.

So thanks to the these great improvements is on my top list of security products again (with ESET ofcourse, my two all time favourites), however to make me buy it again they have to make some improvements in the final release, additional to continuous protection improvements:

• further improve its impact on the pc, and;
• improve scanning speeds on my system, and most importantly;
• bring back the custom installation, since KIS 2012 Beta is still kind of bloatware with lots of features I don't want to install, such as: the virtual keyboard, all the tools except the rescue disk tool, parental control, vulnerability scanning, Safe Run for Websites (which is limited on 64-bit systems anyway) and any kind of browser extensions/plugins.

Hey Wilders
I have been using Eset and still using it for primarily defense. Shifted from Norton in 1998 -99 to Eset... oh my God that is a terribly long time.... and has been content with that choice. Like some others I can see great potential in KIS 2012, and will probably be my choice, (when my licence with Eset end in November), if Kaspersky just can bring back the custom installation... (please)..... and of course improve scan speed; but that is just a minor thing IMHO. Otherwise the beta 2012 runs fine, much better than KIS 2011, the most buggy version from kaspersky ever, but again, that's just my opinion.

Best Regards

Changed Avast to Eset Smart Security 5 Beta
Removed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (real-time)

[kjdemuth]

removed mamutu and CIS AV component.
Added EAM ver 6 beta.
As per the ever observant noob, it is faster than ver 5. Also seems a little lighter running and during startup.

[Noob]

Yeah a lot faster!
Also, they have enabled heuristics by default now (That's why there's not toggle for it)
