I remember reading a story about an aspiring pool/billiards player who asked a great champion what is the best professional cue stick to get, some costing thousands of dollars...
The champion quietly turned around and picked up a nearby broom (this happened in a local pub) and proceeded to totally own the table using the broom's handle as a cue stick, taking on all comers.
When there were no more, he walked over to the bar and had a beer, all this time not saying a single word.

After reading this thread for a few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that I could be quite safe with any of the setups that I have seen listed here.

In conclusion, although my own setup works for me now, in the future I may find one of these setups a better match.

 

my setup equation: "too many setup's = very frequent upsets "

 

Yes, of course.

I wasn't referring to the mental patient setups that have a security program from every genre, those that take the concept of "layering" to some obsessive-compulsive level.
Sandboxing, VMs, HIPS, imaging; some have all these in there and then some.

I guess they should be complimented for their skill at getting so many different software working together without any conflicts...

 

Wat a luck? I am using same config with you

 

EDIT: LoneWolf:

Why have you replaced sbie with defensewall?

 

More of a convenience factor for the wife who shares this pc.

 

Ah I see, thanks.

 

Despite running on Vista Home Premium (and being a noob at security setup), with Sully's PGS I managed to turn on SRP (set at default-deny policy, only allowing some files or directories to increase usability/convenience) as anti-executable. Super light and no conflict.

PGS is an excellent small application.


Latest setup:
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Windows built-in FW enabled
SRP enabled (using Sully's PGS)

Real Time:
Sandboxie (paid)

On Demand: Returnil (free)

 

Behind router/SPI FW, plus external off line harddisk for backups of data and images. OpenDNS usage is configured in the router.

XP Pro SP3

Security Application (real time)
- DefenseWall Beta V3 (closed test group)

- Banking/Shopping with DW in banking/shopping mode (IE8 ) plus keyscrambler free (sort off ad hoc)
- Other/Daily browsing with Iron (sandboxed tabs) in -incognito mode plus ZapCookie/Google ANONymiser

- Other Ad hoc applications related to security
a) Hitman 3.5 free
b) A2 Free
c) Paragon for image backups
d) Synback Free for data backups

DW has not thrown a pop-up on wife's PC yet, so I checked a few times whether the firewall was working ==> so white list option works well for average user.

 

i am testing Mamutu

 

Sandboxie, CIS.

 

They doesn't have the same detection about the a-squared + Ikarus engine?
