What is your security setup these days?

    But you don't blacklist certain executables with path or hash rules, am I correct? It seems that now I understand how it works. Folders blacklisting will also get disabled when SRP is set to default-allow. OTOH, specific executables blacklisting will stay disabled regardless of SRP's default security level.

    Yes, I did a quick test and all blacklisted rules (hash rules or folder rules) are still applied when Unrestricted level is active. That's strange - I always thought that Unrestricted level will disable SRP entirely.

    Good Afternoon! Tried McAfee I.S.2014...To my liking...it seems to be highly automated...in that for instance; when I entered the Scan Schedule it didn't start at the time I entered in it's timetable...it stated to wait another twenty minutes...twenty minutes arrived and still no Scan. Other than that it was surprisingly light with an absence of bloat. That's all good but when you set up an app to perform...it should perform at the time given...not twenty minutes out. Oh well just thought I'd give it a run through. Seems that Intel...are introducing time and money...and it's detection rates the last six months have markedly improved. So for now back to my trusty Boomerang Suite...Lol! Sincerely...Securon

    Wow... never thought of this. It never ceases to amaze me that even after all this time I still learn new things that make my regimen safer almost every time I come here. Since adding SBIE to my setup, like many, I don't have much reason to contribute to this thread anymore, as my setup has remained very static since. But it's pearls like this that keep me combing it for info. regardless.

    Thanks

    Regarding Learning, I know you are talking about security in general but honest to god, I learn something new about Sandboxie every single day. Just by reading threads at the SBIE forum and trying to help when I can, I constantly learn something about SBIE.

    By the way Luciddream, one of the good things about using the sandboxed Windows explorer for navigating to files is that NOTHING will run unsandboxed when you click on a file if you use one. As you probably know, there are certain files that will run unsandboxed out of a Forced folder. Thats why I run a sandboxed explorer to view all pictures that I download and files that are suspicious. To me, all files are suspicious, I treat all files the same way but I mean, files that I am not sure what they are. I got used to running one without thinking when I require to use one.

    Good Morning! Austerity! BD...identified Firefox's Security Certificate as being Suspicious also Google...apparently there's a bug with it's firewall. Other than that it looks promising. If you get rid of all the Excess Pseudo Features...it's surprisingly responsive. Eset like Avast...I'll always keep going back to. Thanks for Inquiring about my Security Well Being...Sincerely...Securon

    Just got my new laptop, and as it's a 64 bit system, I have replaced Defensewall with Appguard. It's too early to draw conclusions, but so far so good !

    I'm currently running BD AV+ on an old HP G60 laptop with 4GB ram, and it is very light. I have disabled everything I do not use and also disabled the autorun/service for it (wallet, etc)

    I've enabled Windows firewall outbound monitoring. I use Windows 8 Firewall Control portable (I run it on-demand) to get log of blocked outbound connections. By analysing the log I create correct outbound rules in Windows Firewall advanced settings.
