What is your security setup these days?

[LoneWolf]

Just missing the unmatched protection from DefenseWall.
(Maybe a small headache)

[kjdemuth]

Ah I gotcha ya.
I used MD once and man that was enough. I don't some chatty HIPS but that was crazy.

[The Seeker]

Finished my testing of WSA. I'll definitely be buying at some point in the future. For now, back to the equally good Norton AntiVirus 2012.

[Pain of Salvation]

using WSA now

how is Todo Backup ?i need a secure and reliable and freeprogram

[PoetWarrior]

Windows 8 Dev. Preview (64 bit)

1. Standard accounts
2. Windows Firewall
3. Firefox 8 beta 2 w/adblock plus
4. UAC on high
5. Windows Defender (only anti-malware software on computer)
6. Router
7. Excited about W8's recovery options.
8. MS Family Safety

Thinking of using EMET soon since most software works.

[justenough]

Started using a Standard User Account.

edit: I doubt that Mamutu is as useful when running under a SUA with UAC set to max, so I removed it. Thinking about what to replace it with.

EMET works fine in my experience.

J, I never tried Todo but for awhile I used paragon Backup & Recovery free and it was very reliable.

[kjdemuth]

CIS 5.8 beta
Sandboxie (paid)
Shadow defender realtime
Baby steps folks. One of these days I might ditch my AV. Maybe.

[moontan]

AV scanners are always good to have around to check questionable file.

i don't want any of those running real-time on my machine though.

[x942]

New setup... Wait for it...

Linux! I feel safer already

If anyone wants my remaining Eset Nod32 license PM me it's going to waste now I am on linux again (hopefully forever ).

I'm getting there. I can't honestly say the last time I got infected. Not testing or anything but really stumbled onto something. With that being said I think that I can ditch my AV at any point. I believe that Comodo Firewall with D+ and sandbox, sandboxie and shadow defender running is enough. I can add emsisoft on demand, instead of Emergency kit. I'm hoping that D+ is as good as say spyshelter. Of course being on this forum as long as I've been, I should be able to answer that question. Doubt is a horrible thing.

[Konata Izumi]

I might try to switch to PC-BSD 9 once its released.

right now win7 with the usual OS built-in security + sandboxie + MVPSHOST + OpenDNS.

[ocsi]

What say this security setup:
Panda Cloud Antivirus Free + Sandboxie Paid + Shadow Defender + Malware Defender

[kjdemuth]

Very nice Ocsi. You might consider a third party firewall. You could ditch malware defender and add something that has a HIPS like Outpost, comodo, private firewall, zonealarm. Other than that you have a good combo.
You could even ditch the AV too. Its the newest thing. Everyone is doing it.

Everyone is doing it here at Wilders only.

[kjdemuth]

True. No one else would be confident enough to even think of trying it.

[NAMOR]

Panda CLoud Pro 1.5, HMP, and Acronis

Doubt might not be so horrible. It might be a good way to gauge the level of security you need to be running. From what I can tell here, the more you know about security and how the computer works and your own particular vulnerabilities, the more confidence you naturally have to run a fewer number of security programs, or at least a different kind.
