    Hi,

    Suffering jetlag from a week abroad. I liked to share a smart and low pop-up best of breed freeware. It consists of Avira free, ThreatFire free, EdgeGuardSolo free and Keyscrambler free (for IE to use with on-line banking and shopping, for daily browsing we will use Chrome).

    First I have seperated my drive in two partitions to have no hassle backing up an image of my programs partition (e.g. PAragon freeware) or synchronising/backing up my data partiton (e.g. Synchback freeware).

    See this old post on how to organise this https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1412983&postcount=1

    This setup consists of ThreatFire, for threatfire we need a security life line for the missing deny option see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1412992&postcount=3

    Next install Kescrambler https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1412988&postcount=2 and chrome https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413000&postcount=5

    Install EdgeGuard as indicated in this post https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413004&postcount=6 EDIT download is not available anymore [BUMMER]

    Install BrowserDefender (since teh new beta has enhanced exploit protection), because we use IE for on-line banking and shopping. We will keep Chrome for fast and daily browsing.

    Now install Avira free with this setting for the GUARD: scan with writing (only), USe smart extensions list and set Heuristics to high.

    Now add all your security aps as trusted to TF, see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413318&postcount=20

    Replace Comodo in thi sexample for AVGNT, AVGUARD and AVSCAN, you must add a description in the entryu box (e.g. GUI, GUARD, SCAN) otherwise TF does not saves them

    Also add the extra TF rules already described in posts https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413322&postcount=21

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413323&postcount=22

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413325&postcount=23

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413330&postcount=24

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1413331&postcount=25

    Next change somw default rules, see picture (also enable HOST file protection).

    Narrow teh double extensions to e-mail and webbrowsers and provide a more clear description of outbound connection custom rule

    Now for some serious extra low pop-up Startup protection,

    first your autorun program folders



    Autostart program group created

    Click "Learn more about this threat". A Program tries to start when windows starts. Normally this is the behaviour of malware. Choose KILL preferably, only when sure it is safe choose ALLOW.

    Syntax

    When any process
    tries to create|TriggerAccessFlags a file
    named c:\documents and settings\all users\menu start\programma's\opstarten
    or c:\documents and settings\[USERNAME]\menu start\programma's\opstarten
    |TriggerFiles

    except when the source process is in the system process list or the source process is in the trusted process list

    Note: replace USERNAME with your own user name

    Now start all your internet facing aps and choose allow + remember. TF might not throw a pop-up for every program, (some are known)

    Rest asure, the registry protection only involves static keys, so you won't be hassled with pop-ups.

    USE IE for on-line shopping and banking, keyscrambler will fool any key logger, use Chrome for dodgy daily browsing. It's internal sandbox makes it 70% less vulnarable than other browsers (while enjoying full functionality).

    Do not forget to turn EdgeGuard Solo off before updating windows (and turn on afterwards :)

    Cheers

    As always, your posts are informative and written in a way that even an idiot like me can understand.

    Although I'm happy with my setup at the moment, I might create a snapshot and give this a try and see how it differs from my current setup.

    Many thanks :thumb:

    Reason for trying this setup is the fact the Avira free also will have the AntiSpyware blacklist included (besides multi core optimisation, enhanced self defense and the good AHEAD heuristics, which took out 85 to 93 percent of teh zero day malwares I tested the V9 beta with).

    Cheers

    I used Avira Free and TF Free and they do work nicely together. But I have changed course for a new free setup. Win XP/Vista Firewall, with DriveSentry 3.3 and Sandboxie for IE or FF browsers. This latest combo seems like a strong contender for a secure free setup. I am not using the default settings in SBIE or DS. I Added a folder or 2 for DS to protect and I use the dropmyrights option in SBIE.

    Would DS and SBIE make a good combo?
