What is your security setup these days?

Most of all it requires extra reading on your hard drive.

 

Yeah thanks for adding

 

Now i realised ,if u are searching for malwares, ull get those.
If u go safely ,no need for protection.
2 days! with windows firewall only

 

How do you know you're not infected with only a firewall ?

 

put a software restriction policy in place, run an on demand scan if you want to scan your system, upload files to virustotal.com or jotti.com have scan them their before using them

 

Norman IS 7.3
PREVX SAFEONLINE MBAM free SAS pro

 

How is the memory usage for Norman? I have been debating between switching to Norman or waiting for the Vipre giveaway.

 

Maybe I'll run without any security software once I run Windows 7...

 

For the protection of the computer use
Ikarus virus.utilities 1.0.166+ Windows 7 firewall control free
only this and nothing more...
that backup system.... win7 system image...
and believe I have no problems.

 

I will stack Kaspersky up to that thought.

 

i am very tempted to test norman antivirus

 

MBAM, HITMAN Pro, MalAware ondemand scanning

 

I still can't believe Norton scanner is still so damn slow, at least on my pc it got stuck for like 5-10 mins on a file.
While others would have been at least like 50%!
(I've scanned with KIS, Avira, G-Data, A-Squared, Avast 5 all were FASTER!!)

 

i just uninstall norton so slow here too

 

i think NORMAN hits the ram a little

 

Hm, I understand that you can scan, but then it's not a firewall alone and think "well, I'm certainly ok". I wouldn't take that chance, but that's just me. Do these 3 scanners catch everything...?

 

I think those 3 scanners do actually catch everything, atleast they do catch more than lets say only have Avast 5 running in realtime =). So you never know when your clean, but the fact is that when you surf safely and dont click everything the chance you get a virus is really small.

I've been running only Returnil Free + Prevx Free for a long time now on Win 7HP - on a home machine behind a router.

I got tired of being armed to the teeth and now I just sandwich any online banking between reboots.

Anyone think this is insufficient?

Just interested.
