What is your security setup these days?

I removed Wehntrust... It has issue with utorrent.

there is a thread somewhere around here... the tutorial is long but setting it up would only take a few minutes if you know what you're doing. IMO It is better to do it after a fresh install of Windows


This link might help setting up LUA.

You can start here - https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=200772&highlight=software restriction policy.
Also click on the very first of the first post in that thread which will lead you to mechbgon.com.

There is also this one for Windows 7 - https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=262686&highlight=software restriction policy

There are quite a few threads here at Wilders but these are a couple to get you started and hopefully doesn't have your head spinning

 

thanks for helping mortl

 

JM, and others, if you ditch a product because it fails one test/file/rootkit, you might as well ditch the product you've currently got.

 

i didnt ditch any program man just want to get the best program as posible they all are great program but i also consider speed and performance for cpu/ram usage and not only how well it protects the system it is over all
nut who knows later i may try the program again

by the way PE Guard v2 runs only 1 procesess it is around 8 megs

 

Norton Internet Security 2010
WINPATROL PLUS

 

my future security set up after hitman pro expired if i dont buy it it will be PE Guard and SanDboxie

 

CHanged things up a bit.
OA premium
Emsisoft AM 5
Geswall free
MBAM (on demand)
Thinking of adding panda cloud AV for a second opinion...so to speak.

 

Konata and Kees, thank you both for your replies. You're talking about Software Restriction Policy under LUA + SuRun and PGS and all that stuff. Little too advanced for me I'm afraid! Thanks anyway
BTW i'm running windows xp sp3 and my security setup is this:
Avira 9 free (i'm waiting for a stable v10 or else Panda Cloud)
Geswall free
Winpatrol Plus and
Spywareblaster which i think is unessecary now since i only use Chrome, or not?

 

Eset Smart Security 4
Prevx 3
MBAM on demand only
Panda USB Vaccine
Google Chrome

 

Yes.

My suggestion:

Install MBRGuard.
Try Avast (following this https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=263940&highlight=Avast lowest)
Add Windows Defender for registry protection (disable Application Execution Agent)
Install Trusteer Rapport (antiphishing, antikeylogging, block browser process manipulation)
K9 Web Protection (block ads, malware, phishing sites)
Peerblock


Keep Geswall or try Bufferzone. It's FREE.

 

Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (UAC set to default, LUA)
D-Link Router (NAT/SPI firewall, WPA2 encryption)
Avast 5.0 (free, real-time)
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (paid, on-demand)
Google Chrome 5.0 (Adblock Plus, forced to run sandboxed)
Sandboxie 3.442 (paid)

 

I'm planning on Avast! Free + Pand Cloud AV for friends rig

 

added sandboxie to my arsenal but this time without sandboxing the browser only my messenger,my documents and destop folders

 

Interesting use of sandboxie.

 

yes it is running smooth this time

 

Win 7 64, chrome, immunet, win defender, hard & soft firewalls.
Vista 32, same set-up.
I may want to try something different later, but i dont want this to turn into a form of mental illness

 

Sandboxie
Defense Wall
Avast5
FF With NoScript
Windows Firewall
Its been good for me for a while. The only change I made in the past
6 months is getting rid of that thing called Avira 10 and replacing it by
Avast.
