What is your security setup these days?

From my own testing it's pretty good actually. Very light, bug free, free of charge, doesn't increase attack surface, but it fails against kernel exploits just like its competitors.

 

Their user forums been hacked.

Haven't bought a security app in years until AppGuard. Bought it a couple of weeks ago. It's running fine with no slowdowns on Windows 8.1.

Windows 8.1

1. UAC on high
2. Surf behind standard account
3. Windows Firewall
4. Windows Defender
5. AppGuard
6. Firefox w/addons
7. Router with firewall
8. Macrium reflect free for occasional restores

 

Haha!

 

It's an enticing AV.

I'm sorry I've never tried it. And no plans yet.

 

for a while i try Eset Smart Security 7 now i love it,and have buy a License.

Added MBAM 2.0.2 back to my netbook.

 

Gave WSA a try today but it made explorer.exe (known issue) spike to 350MB of RAM and, sadly, Softperfect Ramdisk was affected as well with another 250MB, so it summed up to around 550MB of wasted RAM. Uninstalled it quickly after that.

 

Running ESET Smart Security 7

 

It's the best IMO.

BTW WSA spiking stuff is very common, and has never been addressed.

 

Never had any Webroot-caused spiking. In fact never had any of the problems with Webroot SA that you've posted about over the months. Wonder if it's a software conflict you are having?

 

Good Afternoon! Returned to ESET S.S.7...WSA Security Plus...and AppGuard. As for spiking with WSA haven't encountered that in my system. Now the Ultimate Spike occurs when you purchase a Panda Product...and try to obtain a refund. As DocPC has found out that's a truly ugly spike.Sincerely...Securon

 

AFAIK it's a known issue, a few members talked about it in the Prevx section couple months ago and I believe Webroot are working on it.

 

You are absolutely right! Known behavior. Please see link.

Desktop Win 7 SP1 HP. Bitdefender Total Security 2014: MBAM Premier (non-resident)

Laptop Win 8.1.1. Bitdefender 2015 B3: MBAM Free.

 

If you don't have Windows 8\8.1\8.1 U1 x64, you probably won't be affected.

 

Ah, that might be the reason for the difference, I have 7 x64.

 

Looks like latest Webroot update fixed the spiking on 8 x64 for some people but not all.

 

I had to remove Keyscrambler due to cpu spikes, everything else is the same

 

Hardened Windows 7 Ultimate with router and NAS
- Windows Fire Wall set to block outbound connections (GPO)
- System hardening with additional NSA security templates (GPO)
- Deny execute for non-elevated processes in all user folders (SRP)
- Set UAC to only elevate processes that are signed and validated
- UAC, SEHOP, ASLR, DEP and EMET for scripting programs

Adhoc protection
- Process Explorer running process check with VT
- Sigcheck UAC-folders check with VT

 

I was going to warn you about this, but didn't want to be a harbinger of doom. Keyscrambler is buggy, and causes stability issues.

 

Which version? I'm waiting for them to figure the issue out.
