What is your security setup these days?

Google Chrome book - no av needed.

 

Comodo FW will turn off Windows Firewall by default,
so he is running only 1 software firewall at the moment

 

It's in lockdown mode and makes quite a strong layer to the setup. It's simple and easy to use. I'm gonna keep it.

 

Good deal, glad you like it

 

Yup it's pretty light and cool.

 

Are you using the free or pro version of HitmanPro?

 

The pro version.

 

but where is all the fun?

 

Oh nice, I'm still using the free version

 

Why not upgrade to the pro?

 

I might eventually

 

My security setup is my sig, updated

 

OS
Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
Realtime
WDefender
MBAM Pro
Firewall
Windows Firewall\WFC
On Demand
Hitman Pro (paid)
Browser Security
Sandboxie (paid)
Hardening
EMET 3.5 (Max Setting)

 

Sometimes around midnight I streak through the neighborhood.

 

How do you like it? Been thinking of getting one.

Thanks.

As for my setup

NAT Router
ESS
WSA
DynDNS

I also use different AV's on some of my other machines. Some have Avast, Avira, Bitdefender depending on the machine and setup. I used to go really crazy locking things down but this is how I've been going for awhile. No issues or problems to report.

 

Hey Trooper - it's great for surfing and cheap as chips, doesn't fully replace a PC.

 

Still with what's in my sig,just added WinPatrol Plus.
Oh,and Toolwiz Timefreeze.

Normally that'd be true, but I have a Group Policy tweak that prevents Comodo (or anything) from disabling my Windows FW. I've actually posted the tweak in the other firewalls section and got some good feedback.

So my Windows FW remains on, along with Comodo FW. And yes, they play just fine together. In fact I'm pretty sure the XP FW will play fine with any 3'rd party FW. Not sure if the same can be said about the Vista/7/8 FW's, but I'd guess that if you're using it for inbound only, it'd be fine. It's integrated/1'st party, and part of the OS. Very little chance of conflicts. Conventional logic is to only run 1 FW, but really I'd add the caveat only 1 ("3'rd party software") FW at a time... routers/hardware FW's, and the integrated Win FW's excluded.

Besides, if you want to get technical, I have 3 firewalls, counting my router. They all work in perfect harmony together.

As much of a tweaker/hardener I am, I do not disable the XP FW or the WF/ICS service associated with it. It could save me a little bit of juice. But I once heard from someone that knows more about this stuff than I that it's not a good idea to disable that service, even if you use another FW. So I listen to him, and it makes me feel better. That, and seeing that little padlock symbol over my LAN and the word "firewalled", provides an added placebo (if nothing else).

 

Back to the drawing board for desktop: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bits)

OS security
FW: Windows 7 internal also blocks outbound traffic
ACL: Deny 'traverse folder/execute' file for Everyone on subfolders of data partition (also containing download, email and media folders)
SRP: Set default run as Basic user for all files and users except administrators
EMET: all user applications (office, DVD, PDF, browser, WMP)
UAC: deny elevation of unsigned programs

Realtime
Free browser ExploitShield and KAV 2012 (behavioral blocker & download check) to support Chrome's sandbox (no-referrer, click to play flash plug-in). Running Chrome incognito with javascript allow for HTTP\\* and .COM plus .NL domains, blocking all others. With incognito it is posssible to allow cookies, flashplay and javascript per site temporarely (this session only). Great feature, no idea why it is only available running incognito.

Adhoc
HitmanPro free scan's

Hardware based
NAS for unattended contineuos data backup, Router with SPI firewall, USB drive attached to Router via SharePort for monthly data snapshot (using synctoy) and image backups (Win7).

 

I found a key of Emsisoft Anti-malware and I'll just be using the last 53 days before it expires and then back to freeware mode.

 

Hope you'll give a review when it's over.
