If you could only use 1 Security App. what would you use?

If running Win, I'd probably use Prevx alone. Otherwise, Linux....

 

I would use only Nod32 as an antivirus! Nothing else!

 

FD-ISR

 

My choice would be Online-Armor v. 2

 

I think kis is a good choice.But it is not safe enough.It only suit to our parents.

 

Retunil!

 

Same here

 

Presuming that an inbound firewall is in place:

Forced to pick only one, I would select an anti-execution application.
In most cases, it should alert you to strange goings on, like a RAT
collecting your bank passwords. But, realistically, in today's world,
no single layer can possibly cover enough bases.

 

i would go for SSM. not a single process will run without my permission

 

Sandboxie. Have Opera & router, so wouldn't need anything else. Sounds boring though! (zzz...)

 

I would use ProcessGuard no question about it. That is the most important piece of security and privacy software I own. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Wayne and hope that somehow he will make it back and further develop PG as it, and the Proxomitron, are the two applications I couldn't do without and I don't what I will do if ever forced to use Vista or when PG gets really old.

 

FD-ISR - no question.

 

LUA..

 

ProcessGuard

 

Sorry, I neglected to be specific in my post # 183.
Processguard has also been my choice for the past couple of
years. I like simple.

 

Hi all


I vote for "other"...

MAC OS.

 

Only one.

Ok i'll pick 3 which I would be more than willing to use as the single security app on any of my systems.

Sandboxie

Defensewall

Returnil

 

Hi, SwordOfSecurity

My choice is, a Penguin OS.

So I said other.

Take Care,

Since it became a discussion that would have more benefit as a standalone thread....numerous posts were removed from this Poll thread and placed into the below thread.

This thread---> Retunil, FirstDefense-ISR, DeepFreeze, etc. + all image backup softwares are NOT security softwares

 

Re: Retunil, FirstDefense-ISR, DeepFreeze, etc. + all image backup softwares are NOT.

The original poll asked for 1 security application right? An application has executable code so that is my "rule" in answering.

Other wise I would pick the H/W FW or soild router! Wait a minute these do have agents in them that carry out instructions just hardwired... this gets worser and worse

Anyway, to comply with the intent, I am a believer in prevention more than eradication.

So a tool that does the best a filtering out parasites before they get to execute is my choice. Which one that is a total unknown to me.

Does anybody know?

Meanwhile I'll pick a SFW with good in/out protection. Kerio comes to mind.

 

Kaspersky.

 

My Two cents would be PREVX although I don't believe any single application is currently able to defend against the far too varied attack vectors!

And may I point curious Joe's to an article I wrote for my web site that more or less paints this picture:

just happen to browse this folder... quite a very practical question/poll topic posted!

IMO... there are quite a number of apps to be used. But in my own capacity (paid single apps), here are my best choices (either one, non-alpha order) under 'overall' capabilities~

* combined security apps
Command-AV
VBA32
Kaspersky
NOD32
mcAfee VScan**
CA's**
Trend-PCcillin**
MicroWorld's

Those were noted in particular... pretty fast scanning with above-average accuracy; light-resource users (but not ALL are particularly ultra-small in footprints), and highly customizable. Those 3 with double-asterisks are full comprehensive types, but RAM-hoagers too.

 

If i had a single choice for a security app it would have to be OnlineArmor because it's dual function of a firewall + HIPS! And because it is relatively NEW! the development team is up on all the latest needs a security app of this nature would demand for optimum possible safety.

 

Returnil-if you can call it a security app.
