What is your security setup these days?

I don't think there is a case of one being better than the other. Personally I don't like "sandbox" type programs like Sandboxie, but that is just a matter of preference.

My point was that if you are in Shadow Mode with SD, then Sandboxie seems redundant to me. Any changes done to the system won't be kept anyway, so you don't really need Sandboxie in that case. I think running both is not needed and a waste.

 

Network: Linksys WRT54GS / Tomato / WPA2


My computer:
XP-SP3:

Real-time:
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security (Super Scan, Scan When Reading and Writing)
ForceField On

On-Demand:
A-Squared (On USB drive)
SuperAntiSpyware
Avira
MalwareBytes AntiMalware

Browser:
FireFox ( NoScript, WOT, ShowIP, along with various other "handy" stuff such as ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, Smart Bookmarks Bar etc.)
Chrome
Opera

Other:
Virtual Box
Panda USB vaccine

ADDED: Purchased SandboxIE.
Now I just need to figure out everything about it . It will mostly be used for Chrome, Opera and Utorrent.

Not redundant at all. Sandboxie protects/isolate your program from any processes in realtime.

you won't be protected from keyloggers during shadow mode.

 

Loaded SnoopFree and went into a reboot loop. Restoring to Macrium Reflect backup image now.

 

same here ...cant get SnoopFree to work properly

 

trying PE Guard and mamutu and i am very fast
note:Mamutu is very impresive in paranoid mode

 

OK, but if you don't care about keyloggers (as in you aren't typing in cc numbers), then Shadow Defender will protect you just as well, if not better than Sandboxie. A simple reboot and anything you've done or anything that has gotten in, is gone.

 

Same thing can be done "Returnil" too. I Love "Returnil"

 

Testing ThreatFire on Level 5!

 

This may result you some false +ve's ..

 

seem to be "eat" more memory.. windows startup seems slower..

 

Yeah lil bit slowdown, but i don't care about the same...I don't need a Super Computer, what matters is Security...

 

I'm on KIS2011 11.0.0.187
First beta

 

I notice ThreatFire does slow downs some programs like 1 sec.
A example is Chrome now it takes 1 second more to open, but i can live with that
Will continue writing observation

 

i want to understand if Mamutu and winpatrol plus IDS is same or does same function any coments?thanks

 

DEFINITELY not the same.

 

ok the word IDS mean intrution detention system in what way they are diferent or same?or what?thanks

 

IDS: intrusion detection system
IPS: intrusion prevention system

The fact is that these two sets of words are too general, many programs claim to be a IDS or IPS. And in fact they well could be an IDS or IPS, but because that two sets of words are so general it hardly says anything about the program. That's what you see here. Mamutu and Winpatrol Plus both have the abilities to detect intrusions, but they are different in every single way.

 

I think it's intrusion prevention system.

 

Oh yes your right. My fault.

 

thanks matt and safety

 

Loaded VirtualBox, but could not get it to create a Virtual Machine.

After Macrium Image Restore, I reloaded PeerBlock, but not ThreatFire.

I have added SandBoxIE.

 

That's some nice setup there. ^^
If only my pc is just bit more powerful... I'd have the same setup XD

without OpenDNS though

 

Update 4-25-2010

Desktop
Home Xp Sp 3 32-bit
ZA Pro
A2 paid
Sandboxie on-demand when cruising the darkside

Dumped OA it was overly redundant with A2's IDS.

Lappy
Home Win 7 64-bit
ZA Pro
Vipre

Waiting for Emsi to release ver. 5 so I can dump Sunbelt.

 

I see you have a Firewall plus LUA/Surun. Im looking into some form of both.

Also I am looking into other System Virtualizers like Returnil, TimeFreeze, Shadow Defender, Time Machine, Geswall.

Perhaps manually tweaked System Hardening, as well.

Plus Password Managers.

Want to play with Proxomitron next.

Work in progress, I guess. Slowly but surely.
