What is your security setup these days?

New setup:

Resident:
-Router
-Ashampoo free firewall
-Sandboxie 3.21
-SSM Free.

On demand:
-AVG Free.
-Clam Win.
-Dr. Web Cure it.
(all of the above antivirus can run without background processes active).
-Ice Sword.

 

Change:

ProSecurity free instead of SSM free
No more safespace
No more google pack

Sometimes a boot scan with Avast free.

By the way, Sygate has a great termination protection passed the sss110 test

 

I finally think i found my almost perfect antivirus-free combo:
Resident:
-Router
-Ashampoo free firewall --->changed to Kerio 2
-Sandboxie 3.21
-SSM Free.--> changed to Threatfire set at 4.
-RegProt.

On demand:
-AVG Free.
-Clam Win.
-Dr. Web Cure it.
(all of the above antivirus can run without background processes active).
-Ice Sword.

Probably sooner or later i 'll change firewall to Ashampoo or OA free when comes stable, but the current setup is the most hassle free and light i have found till today.

Windows Firewall (Vista)

Symantec Endpoint Protection (Custom Setting + Monthly Scan)

Dr.Web CureIT

Considering : COMODO , ZoneAlarm

 

How did you get your hands on a copy of Symantec Endpoint Protection to play with? Can I get it as a non-corporate buyer?

 

Nearly a year now with FAND. No way would I go back to realtime AV, AS, software firewall, HIPS et al

 

Well... I found SEP11 on emule. I tried to install and enjoy it .

It works very well Of course , I am not a corporate buyer.

 

AHHHHH dumped Comodo again, due to bugs after testing malware (auto inclusion of progs??)

So now its on the XP box again
- DefenseWall
- Avast with Mail, P2P + Web + Network shield (others off)
- Mamato (Internet Explorer settings defense off)
- WinPooch file + registry

May with CFP V3.2?

 

Back on XP after 3 months of Vista64 (with NOD32 & Comodo).

- Antivir Premium
- Online Armor (beta 62)
- Linkscanner Pro
- Sandboxie

 

Realtime:
Winroute 6.3.1 (router machine)
Comodo FP3 with Defense+ (Paranoid mode)
BoClean 4.25 (testing)
Comodo Memory Firewall 2 (testing)

On-Demand:
Avira PE Premium
NOD32 3.0 (router machine)
Rootkit Unhooker

Firefox with NoScript

EDIT: Thought I would just list the softs I tried but no longer use to help put this list in context:
Norton Antivirus
Symantec Client Security
Kaspersky Antivirus
Avast Antivirus
F-Secure Antivirus for Workstations
F-Secure Client Security
AVG Antivirus
AVG AntiSpyware
CounterSpy 2.0
Webroot Spy Sweeper
AdAware Pro 2007
Windows Defender
SSM Pro
Outpost Pro 4/2008
Zonealarm Pro

 

My XP setup updated: Added a Realtime AV to backup OA AV+ which incorporates an execution only AV scanner. Don't get me wrong, OA AV+ KAV engine is great, but having that and Nod32 is even better. I added Nod32 again and not a second HIPS like I used to.

OT - kees1958 EQS offers better protection than defense+? if so maybe I'll turn off defense+ and try out EQS I did before and liked it but it was too much for me at the time.

Symantec EndPoint Protection v11.0.1000.1375 on a Latitude D620 for personal use.

 

How many times I reply to this ressurected thread?

Still no AV/AS after a couple of years.

Sandboxie is still my mainstay here with Returnil thrown in proving near on, if not, infallible.

After many trials and errors I would say that Sandboxie and Returnil are the two finest "free" security apps ever.

For any paid apps, certainly Defensewall is one of the best of the best!

Run all three together and your pc might be too frightened to start.

 

Franklin, You are right. I think WSFuser holds the record for posts in this thread.

Me? Just ShadowDefender and Threatfire on both computers.

 

I do?

Do I get a prize?

 

Windows XP Pro SP2

Linksys wrt54g router/spi firewall (WiFi & upnp disabled)
Dynamic Security Agent v2 (software firewall/hips)
Sandboxie v3.22 (IE + FF + mail software forced in sandbox)
Avast Antivirus Free Edition (Pro version not needed due to Sandboxie)
Proxomitron (with my own filters)
SuperAntiSpyware (other antispywares not needed due to Sandboxie)
SysInternals Autoruns v9 (to remove everything not needed)
Huge amount of services & port135-139,445 + remote desktop protocol (rdp) removed.

That's all.
