Add Allow HTML Temp

 

Thank you both.

Even less (less is more)

- DefenseWall!!!

 

Change:

Always active:

Sygate Pro 5.6.3408
Sandboxie with forced programs etc.
Avast 4.8.1147

 

Even less

 

Update on PC set-up

SPI Router
UBUNTU

Love it!

 

Lightweight doesn't apply to a 4 layer security setup

 

Still the same here.

Hardware firewall.

Sandboxie configured to stop all outbounds.

Returnil.

Ghost images/clones.

Only prob with this setup is it's too damn secure and boring without a need to ghost back in ages.

 

How you do that?

 

Very convenient is to config SBIE in a way that only your browser has rights to connect,anything other in this Sandbox is cut off,for example Keyloggers.

 

Very easy,very secure.

 

Online armor free firewall, Avast free edition and Threatfire pro , a-squared free, javacool's,SpywareBlaster, and Dr Web's browser extension. Am I on overkill here, any recommendations would be appreciated.

 

My current light set up and all I need.

Avira Premium
Comodo 3.0 w/D+ active
Firefox w/ No Script and Ad Block Plus

SAS and Spybot on demand. Dumped SAS Pro cause I couldnt handle the constant CPU spikes.

 

Latest Routine SetUp:

Really no risky surfing so only from a Google search that might lead to some IE exploit could raise alarms, but then SandboxIE'ed IE is contained anyway.

I found this combo lite and effective for any routine trek thru the net.

FD-ISR snapshot protected by either PowerShadow Master or Returnil RVS + EQSecure (4.0 Beta) + SandboxIE = Relaxed Surfing!

It's a no lose scenario, there are others of course utilizing their own choices of various apps, but it all boils down to layering as usual.

An exact duplicate copy = FD-ISR .archive is maintained and isolated from machine (unplugged) of working snapshot in event front line shielding could at all become compromised.

I can initiate either Returnil/PowerShadow virtualization On-The-Fly, and in addition to also running IE browser or activating local executables with SandboxIE! so anything running is within this containment field.

EQS alerts to anything signaling other files or attempting accesses with complete path & identification + intent ahead of the activity contact with the file system.

This is my most very basic routine set up/security/protection.

 

Yeah, stupid me! Of course I know that but Franklin writes outbounds and that's not the same than internet access atleast to me.

outbounds ->
inbounds <-
internet access <->

 

Removed Winpatrol (forgot Online Armor also monitors for start up programs )

 

Yeah,outbound,there more ways that bad stuff shoot thru your firewall and all,what do you think a keylogger on your system with his own dedicated STPM server.SBIE in this case is helpless.

So SBIE is helpfull only if you have a nasty free system,thats why i do regular ondemand scans with SAS and Cureit.

 

I keep changing between 2 setups:

Outpost Pro 2008
Nod32
DefenseWall

and

Outpost Pro 2008
Nod32
SSM Pro
Sandboxie

Using Sandboxie makes browsing slower, so I keep going back to DefenseWall but then I want a proper HIPS if I install something as trusted and hence the cycle continues over and over again...

 

Avira PE
Sandboxie
Mamutu- I really think this product is headed to the top, even better then EQsecure and SSM before it is said and done.

 

is Mamutu included in a2 antimalware?

 

Baically yes. The anti malware has the IDS portion so, yes. But I prefer Avira for my malware detection, and Mamutu for intrusion protection.

 

Dumped AVAST too buggy beta.
back to Avira write only

added Threatfire, trying ....

 

hardware firewall

F-secure CS
Prevx2R
Defencewall
Winpatrol Plus

Analog X-Script Defender
Hostsman (updating 4 HOSTS-lists)
CCleaner (scheduled to clean HD every evening)

Firefox (Siteadvisor + Netcraft toolbar + Wot + Adblock Plus + NoScript + Cookie permit + Cookie culler )

Sometimes used:
Powershadow
Actronis true image
Sandboxie Pro
Secunia PSI
Virustotal

Several on-demand scanners such as SAS Pro, Gmer, ... etc ...

 

Hi jtcst,

Just be aware: OA does not monitor the startup folders - although of course, it will prompt if a program tries to run.
