Re: Security that you use and its purpose

How do you define minium, tight security?

I rather you list your apps according to the type of threats they handle.

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

Good list, but

a) you shouldn't post programs that are (still) buggy (prevx for example)
b) post outdated stuff (that host file for example; last update took place in 2003!)

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

Analogx's script defender seems like a good program to protect against malicious scripts.

 

some small suggestions

- http://accs-net.com/hosts/get_hosts.html

too old, yes?

- Any way to merge host files, removing duplicate entries?

I recommend the Open source freeware PopTray which has A LOT of plugins and definitely a better UI

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

Great stuff for those of us who are not well educated in computers.

I notice that Wormguard is for worms, obviously, but I had assumed that AV and AT programs also detected and eliminated worms.
Must not be so??

Also Ad-Aware "To further protect you, Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition also has the capability to scan and list Alternate Data Streams (ADS) in NTFS enabled volumes."

BlackSpear .
May I add RegDefend to the tight security ? Awsome . Protects the registry WITHOUT polling

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

I have RegDefend installed now, and have removed Prevx, Spybot S&D Resident and MJ's Registry Watcher, though for me to reccomend to do so will be a while, as I'm to new to RegDefend.

Cheers

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

hmm.. any freeware alternate to this?

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

Indeed it is No13, they now have their official forum right here at Wilders

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

heck...
you beat me to the edit AGAIN BS...
damn! [thank god Buck ain't here...!]

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

You are better off not editing out a major change to your post, as quiite often the posts after it consequently make no sense

And LOL, yeah BB would have been quick off the mark and given you a ribbing

Cheers

Is Blackspear playing again, like a bad smell, reminds me a bit of Cochise's horse

 

I absolutely LOVE that kind of chaos!

 

LMAO, but others don't, especially newbie’s to the forum

 

~um~

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

I would remove Registry watcher but not PrevX. I have already tweaked PrevX to stop monitoring registry and startups, but it's monitoring of file areas is still valuable.

 

Hi Pollmaster .

I have done the same . Prevx is invaluable at what it does . I was hoping , before a better understanding , that RegDefend would take it's place . Nope . But I am very happy with Prevx . Still needed with Prevx . Take care

 

Re: Security that you use and its purpose

Thanks for that, I'll look at doing the same.

Cheers
