What is your security setup these days?

OMG! Just security maniacs around!

MyConf: noAV + noFW + noHIPS + noSandbox + noLUA + noWinRestore + noBackupImage

Just highly updated Win XPSP3; Autorun=off; noIE,OE,ICQ&so on; alternative clients (K-Meleon or Comodo Dragon for web, smthing like Sylpheed for mail, any rare client for IM) + K9Web Protection content filter + AnVir Task Manager.

That's it!

On-demand: some av-scanners, antiRKits, and security utilities.
Result: Clean&safe system

 

Oh well, some people like having programs

@rodocop
omg, scan for rootkits

 

I'd feel naked if I didn't have anything running.

 

+1 Man
That's true for me tooooooo

 

FYI
Keyscrambler is a keeper. I really can't tell if its working. It seems good though. Very light.

 

Keyscrambler rocks!

For your information, SnoopFree detected Keyscrambler at the keyboard kernel as a possible keylogger. It works.

 

running Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.1 Beta

 

Would PrevX Safe Online conflict with any program of my current setup?
See sig

 

No why should it conflict

 

Then PrevX Safe Online added!

 

got my self a used destop i formatted it and started from scratch
i install Trend Micro Internet Security 2010 and tweak the registry alitle

 

Woops, PrevX didn't even last 10 mins LOL

It prevented Google Chrome from starting correctly, i mean the window opened but the browser itself didn't start correctly and was unusable (Same as Comodo)

 

Removed OA++(some slowdowns) and LnS(application filtering Bug)
Added ESET SS 4.2 (Removed scheduled tasks ,100% CPU at start up )

Removed Avira Premium as boot time has increased dramatically since version 10, webguard was also very heavy at times.

Added Twister and Malwarebytes Pro.
System is flying again now

 

Hi nikanthpromod,
about what kind of application filtering bug do you mean in LnS?

 

i installed LnS some days ago. I made all rules . i allowed Eset to connect to internet for updating. I allowed opera to connect to internet. Then i restarted my computer .Suddenly i got a popup from LnS asking whether to allow or block Eset to connect to internet . I opened LnS and checked application rules. I found that some application rules were missing. SO i removed LnS.
I have a license So i will try it when new version comes.

 

Uhm... you are sure you didn't check "Just for this session" checkbox?

 

I like having software very much too. Searching, downloading, installing, testing and uninstalling everyday by dozens ;-)
But I really can't understand the pleasure from "install-learn-setup-make rules-check compatibility-examine efficiency-control and so on" for software that makes no product besides possibility for safer work for other software And if results are equal - why plow the sands!?

Believe me or not - scanned numerously by number of respected antirootkits: clean! About 5 years without hidden infections and reinstallations.

Oh, sorry - there was one case of rootkitty that was a time of absolutely absent protection. No AV, FW, updates, monitoring, utilities etc.
But its (rootkit's) life was poor and short

And yes (see answer for Noob) - I'm almost living in the Web and using or trying hundreds of softwares. But it's safe

P.S. I've just remembered one detail: noNTFS! Only FAT32 ;-)

 

Please feel free to critique...suggest improvement or removals/replacements.

 

Remove TACO.
LinkExtend is awesome but I'll worry about my privacy if I have it.
Mamutu is my dream... I can't buy it

 

Could you give a quick explanation of those recs?

 

Antivir Personal 10.0.0.567

MBAM Free 1.46

Oh, forgot about the router.

I believe ABP blocks those cookies in TACO's list.
LinkExtend might be actually sending your browser habits to provide its services.

and hey.. I got a 3months FULL version license of MAMUTU just now...
