What is your security setup these days?

Thanks WSFuser... I've never used attack shield ws and would I benefit from it. I know its a permenant thing that some of my other software might already do though.

well so far it says "Total Attacks Prevented: 0" so i guess its not gonna do me any good. I disabled some of WinPatrol's monitor too, its quiet as a mouse. Practicing safe hex takes all the fun out of security, nah?

 

Nice set-up, Fuser...

 

thanx JRCATES

Hey Brandon, got a question for you. If you hadn't boughten both Ewido and Boclean, which of the two (just one), would you perfer and have boughten? I see you are well covered in the trojan area using Ewido, A-Squared, and Boclean. Good Job!

i went w/ NOD32 for the laptop to see if it was light on resources as said, and it is. put on Online Armor trial for extra prot and it seems good, $10 refund going now so will probably purchase after a few more days of trial.

Hi dja2k,

Probably Ewido because it covers more of an area then I think BOClean does. Dont get me wrong BOClean is a great program to have running in realtime but I feel Ewido is one step ahead of BOClean in protection/detection.

Have a good day
