What is your security setup these days?

[Hungry Man]

Set Chrome and downloads folder to low integrity with no read/execute up.

Set SRP to a few areas.

It's very useful feature and was used always by me both in Free and Premium version. It works very nice and smooth with all apps in RS mode (internet browsers, PIM, pdf-readers, word processors, media players, graphic viewers, etc.) and I think even better than similar feature in SS.
It's compared to the limited user accounts restrictions but only for choosen apps...more info here

Limited user accounts offer strong protection, but are rarely used by the majority of computer users. RunSafer makes using an Administrator account safer by running user-selected programs as a Limited user when you are in an Administrator account.

When a program is running using RunSafer, any other program that is launched by this program will also "inherit" the Limited user account restrictions. This means that when your browser is run using RunSafer and a document viewer or media player is automatically launched to view content from the internet, then that program also inherits the same security restrictions; if the document viewer or media player ends up being used to infect your computer then the malware will be heavily restricted in the ways that it could infect your system.

Some malware cannot infect a computer with the restrictions of a Limited user account at all.

Using RunSafer

BTW...only OA Free?...you are brave...didn't you think that "you are driving car with only one hand"?

i run my browser safer

[Kees1958]

Online armor used to have an option to run all unknown apps in the 'run safer' mode. I do not know whether this still exists, but this is a very usefull option (when not installing programs that is). I have not used OA for a year or three, so I can't tell where to look for it.

It still has this option. It is in the programs section under options.

No AV in real-time on laptop with L'n'S and Mamutu...only BidDefender TL as add-on to Firefox (with AdBlock, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and Ghostery)...and nothing more On-demand Wondershare Time Freeze, MBAM, EMK, Runscanner and to system backup/restore 1-Click Keriver.
On the second system in home (W7 32-bit) there are MSE and SpyShelter FW in real-time...on-demand and backup - as above except virtualisation app.
In laptop I'm using - Symantec EP 11 + Shadow Defender + SpyShelter Premium...on-demand MBAM, EMK, Runscanner.
That's all

ah! great.......I wonder why do you need time freeze when you've got keriver?

First...WTF is useful and helpful when I try to test some app that could be sometime very often (few time a day) if I have the "vein"
second...it's not my computer (my wife's) and sometimes all changes made by me have to be removed...you know
Keriver is allways the "last line of defense"...against own "enemy mine"

I don't use AV for some time now, but as I read on these forums, Webroot has become popular among users.

If you go for free, I would recommend MSE.
