How secure is LUA + SRP (+ SuRun)?

I've read some posts on this but some things aren't clear to me..

1) What are the + and - of running just those on your system?
2) Can my system stay clean like that or do I need to run other security software ?
3) Can malware execute through "safe" processes (i.e. browsers) with my system set up like that?
4) Would Sandboxed browsing be advisable to prevent "3" from happening?
5) Any other things I have to keep in mind?

 

+ Lean and fast. You decide what software runs and not. No questions from security software (ie HIPS´n´stuff) - less risk of allowing anything malicious because of confirmation fatigue
- Cant think of any.

There are very few malware that doesnt need admin rights. Personally I have hard time to attract malware anyway so the chance of hitting one of those is a million to one for me. If that should happen SRP takes care of it.

AFAIK no. A SRP that restricts anything but what you have allowed takes care of any new executions. Even with just LUA the malware cant access system folders.

I dont use them. But it all depends on how paranoid you are. Sandboxes are good at what they do and they also prevent that if youre admin. If LUA I dont see the point of using sandbox.

 

You can feel safe...LUA+SRP is one of the greatest combos and about as light as without anything on.you could use sandboxie to evade browser junk:cookies,cross scripting attacks,malicious scripts,e.t.c

 

Yes. You can configure the sandbox to:

- Allow only the browser access to the Internet
- Allow only the browser to start and run

 

Which versions of Vista offer SRP? Thanks!

 

originaly only buisiness and ultimate..but a member here seems to have found a way for all to have SRP..
