What is your security setup these days?

IIT Powai we recently had a tech fest.
Last year they had given Kaspersky licenses free for a year. I never buy security softwares I normally depend on GiveAway and all other stuffs otherwise free softwares are available in lot

 

OnlineArmor Free - firewall
MSE - antiwhatever
SandboxIE - browser protection
Mailwasher Pro - email filtering
Keepass - passwords
Shadow Defender - virtual protection?
ShadowProtect - imaging
FD-ISR - instant recovery

Firefox with the usual Adblock, Ghostery, CSlite, Keyscrambler, etc, etc

All on Windows 7 Home Premium.

 

That's nice yaar..Im in Guru Jambeshawar University

 

Well Panda Cloud apparently let rogue Security Tool go through. Now I'm using CIS 3.13 to protect the Windows desktop. Although I use Google Chrome, my mom uses Internet Explorer. Defense+ will surely block rogues from installing.

 

IBadget, keep in mind (for the next rogue you come across) many rogue programs act just like any other program out there, and many do not have any malicious files. Most of these programs can be uninstalled but are geared to get you to buy (just like most software out there).

Some rogues don't uninstall cleanly, just like any other regular programs you download. Some rogues ask for your cash, just like other regular programs.

For AVs to detect all of these rogues (even those that aren't malicious), would mean AVs should then detect every program you download and install (as malicious).

 

Main machine (Admin account):

Vista32 Ultimate, Windows Firewall, UAC on, Windows Defender off.
Shadow Defender
Avira Premium (on demand)
ShadowProtect Desktop (recovery CD only)
Google Chrome V4 + Ad Muncher

 

Removed
KIS 2010

Installed
Panda IS 2010
Hitman Pro
A-Squared

 

I'm testing new security config

Realtime:
DefenseWall Personal Firewall (beta)
WinPatrol (version Free till Friday I think )

On-demand:
ShadowProtect (image backup)
Syncback Free (data backup)
Shadow Defender
Dr.Web CureIt! (scan once per few months)
MBAM (scan once per few months)

 

got rid of all my realtime and now just working with 1 amazing program for that

Real-Time:
Online Armor ++ (Mail Shield Disabled and Firewall component completely uninstalled)

On-Demand:
MBAM
Hitman Pro
SpywareBlaster
Secunia PSI
SUMo

 

Win7 32 bit ultimate
WF
UAC Max lvl
Avira

 

Prevx3 and WinPatrol Plus doing very good here in my xp2 now i will defenitly will add OnLine Armor ++ on friday

 

Yep WinPatrol with its check on Active X/Browser Plug-ins are a nice complementary add on to DW3 (you can also use the startup check and file type lock/homepage lock, other WP's agents are unlikely to trigger something with DW on board)

 

I might try this setup too.

 

After trying many different free products I think I've finally settled on the following for resident protection:

Avira Free
Threatfire
Geswall free (protecting IE8 and Firefox)
WOT and KeyScrambler personal installed in browsers.

 

Thanks Kees for your opinion I really like this combination DW+WP, I've exactly wondered what benefits gives me that configuration.

 

I suspect after tomorrow we will be seeing a lot of Online Armor ++ / Winpatrol in peoples setups here.

 

you betcha 3dog

 

Online armor ++ (trail, awaiting midnight for license)
Avast 5 pro (web, IM, Mail and P2P disabled)
GesWall Pro

 

Upgraded from Winpatrol free to Winpatrol PLUS!

 

it usually doesnt get posted on GAOTD right at midnight, takes them sometime from wat ive noticed to post it.

 

Just installed A-Squared again

Panda IS 2010
A-Squared 4.5
Hitman Pro (As backup scanner)

Awesome A-Squared, can't wait for version 5, i'm beta testing it

 

1. Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit ( WF ON / UAC ON )
2. D-Link Router (NAT/SPI)
3. Microsoft Security Essentials
4. Internet Explorer 8

Can anyone tell me what to add?
Thanks in advance.

 

I added Scotty.
I can't pass up quality software for 99 cents.

 

Might want to add a sandbox for your web browser. Sandboxie, Geswall, Defencewall are all good choices.

 

Thanks.
I'll consider doing that.
