What do you guys think about my security setups?

Desktop - ZoneAlarm Antivirus with firewall
DriveSentry
Spyware Terminator (real time shield and scanning)
Malwarebytes' Antimalware free edition
Firefox with McAfee Site Advisor, WOT, and flashblock
Sandboxie
CCleaner

Laptop - Comodo Firewall with Defense+
Avira Antivir free
Spyware Terminator (real time shield and scanning)
SuperAntispyware free
Firefox with McAfee Site Advisor, WOT, and flashblock
Sandboxie
CCleaner

 

if you want my advise and what i think i will say that with ZoneAlarm Antivirus with firewall and sandboxie you should be fine and secure for destop and for the laptop comodo with D+ and sandboxie is very good combo

 

Sorry man but your set-up is too big! Thats my opinion! I like my computer to go fast!

 

He has one active of each AV/ASW/FW/hips or BB for each system. That sounds good to me. You probably don't need all the FF add ons but that's up to you.

 

Well I think that if you have more than 4 programs thats too much!

 

more than 2 is way to much and i have 3

 

Well maybe!

 

well i say it cause i know that a sandbox type security,policy base sandbox or a well configure Hips program will take care of dumping the garbage out plus add a what ever back up security for extra comfort

 

True very true but like I always say I dont feel safe with just 1 program!

 

But you feel safe with one insurance provider?

 

I have taken out what I think is in excess (IMO of course). If you use Sandboxie properly you will never get any spyware in your system. I would also recommend an imaging program, in case of HD failure or extreme disaster.

 

Its more than enough feel safe

 

I would just change Site Advisor with LinkScanner or Finjan Secure Browsing. Why? Site Advisor and WOT, both base their ratings on a database, while both LinkScanner and Finjan provide real time scanning.

Maybe you could also use SpywareBlaster and Spybot Search & Destroy preventive measures. No Teatimer (Spybot), though.

Same deal here.

Just my opinion.

Best regards

 

Thanks for all the replies!

 

Looks tight as a drum, to me your defense is darn good.

 

Thanks!

 

It seem to me ilke you are making way too much work for yourself. Ditch the scanners. Virtualization is the key. Best of all no continuous user interaction is required.

 

I like my setups right now. Actually, I believe having several backup scanners is good as long as it doesn't use a lot of system resources.
By the way, configuring scanners is kind of fun to me.

Thanks for the reply!

 

Backup scanners aren't an issue. You don't have any conflicting realtime so I wouldn't worry.

 

is the laptop partitioned? how big is the laptop's hard disk?

 

It's not partitioned, and it has small hard disc size: 50GB

 

i see - we need to work with this then

 

Work with what?
