Good security suite (made from separated apps)- advice needed.

Hi
First - Excuse my bad english
I need advice concerning good security suite created from separated apps.

Now I'm using Avira Premium AV and Outpost Pro firewall. But I found it not enough for my PC security. I was using Kaspersky AV and Kaspersky Internet Security but it missed a lot of malware.

I have tried MBAM and A-squared but in free versions they don't give a resident security althou the are perfect on-demand anti-malware scanners (for me )
And now please advice me - would it be a good suite :
Avira - Antivir
Outpost - firewall
MBAB / A-squared - on demand scan
ThreatFire - resident anti-malware.

I need advice concerning - red / bolded apps, particularly resident anti-malware app (preferably free )

Maybe other propositions for on -demand and resident anti-malware.
Thanx in advance
Chris.

 

I suggest you use MBAM and/or SAS and/or A-squared as on-demand scanners. Norton Security Scan and Clean is also a good on-demand AV. You can also consider using a sandbox, such as Sandboxie, GesWall or DefenseWall. Outpost has some form of HIPS so you shouldn't need ThreatFire.

However, if you were using Avira Premium AV and Outpost Pro firewall / Kaspersky suite and still got infected, then you must have done something wrong. Always use common sense when you're browsing the web, use a browser other than IE and keep your software up to date. This should minimise your chance of getting infected.

 

Thank you.
I need RESIDENT anti-malware. I know that MBAB and a-squared can be used ad on-demand scanner but I need resident program to protect my PC in real time.

Hello mrnikt;

I suggest:
Avira Premium; real-time antivirus protection (as well as other malware threats) with excellent detection capability.
Also relatively light/fast and a proven performer.

Comodo version 3.8 FW with D+

Firefox with NoScript and AdBlock.

Returnil or SandboxIE.

Keep SAS and MBAM as well as A2 (free) for on-demand scanners. Also, Eset online antivirus scanner.

Finally, a daily HDD image.

Too much ?
Some will suggest that using a program such as returnil or SandboxIE eliminates the need for any third party AV, AS, or FW, but I don't think so.
I believe that security involves a multi-layered approach and, of course, smart surfing.

 

Avira Premium plus Outpost Firewall already provides oustanding resident protection. You can also use a sandbox, such as Sandboxie, GesWall or DefenseWall, for added protection.

 

GL. I think KIS is the best by far & it wasn't good enough? Is it just me that thinks your OS is not fully patched? Or that you invited malware onto your computer?

 

In line with others here I'd recommend Sandboxie.
