What is your security setup these days?

cool

 

Old setup:

I will try a new setup for my laptop:

 

2009 / 07 / 22

1. Vista 32bit SP2 (FW ON / UAC ON / WD OFF)
2. Router Firewall (NAT/SPI)
3. Avira Antivir Personal 9.0.0.403
4. Sandboxie 3.38
5. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.39 (on-demand/trial)
6. Acronis True Image 2009 Home (PAID)
7. Internet Explorer 8

 

in my xp2 i gave MD a rest now i am trialing a 30 free days of DeFenSeWall Hips

 

Just one thing that I'm curious about DW... why did it leave all traces and so on when I for example tested installing Hotbar? Running SAS it detected traces in all kinds of directories. I must've clicked to terminate untrusted applications afterall. Is it very different from a sandbox?

 

DefenseWall HIPS is a policy management HIPS. It will keep all internet facing software and their download in a stronger than LUA environment. This means that user space active X and Browser helpers are allowed to install, because DW granst the user full and transparent usage of their internet facing aps.

Simply adding WinPatrol or any other light HIPS which looks at Active X, BHO and plug ins, will keep you protected from nuisance-ware.


regards Kees

 

dont forget DW is a policy base sandbox and not a full sandbox like sandboxie,but we have a feature that can also flash the toilet in case of clean up and that is the rollback function just hunt down the files and delete it,very easy indeed "no traces if you want''

 

Defensewall also protects your plugins also

 

even Glade.

 

and very soon a ''firewall'' yes a firewall

 

On my laptop

Realtime:

Router
Outpost Security Suite Pro 6.7

 

Removing GW and TF. TF too noisy, GW not convenient in some ways.

Testing and learning DefenseWall, putting back Panda Cloud Antivirus.

 

Too noisy at level 3? I'm surprised

 

On PC (Real-time)
- ESS 4.0.437
- Malware Defender 2.3.0
- GeSWall 2.8.3


On Laptop (Real-time)
- OA++ 3.5.0.32
- DefenseWall 2.56


On demand
- Malwarebyte's anti-malware
- Superantispyware
- Spybot S&D
- Spyware blaster

 

Happens when they're not white-listing enough applications. I dunno how active they're by now.

 

with DefenseWall there is a huge advantage put in your licence key(out the box ready) and get real time protection you can also customize it but dont really need to it is already strong/secure
