Dell Laptop
Online Armor Firewall ++
Immunet Protect
AppDefend
Hitman Pro ( for daily scans )

Browsers
Chrome ( for daily browsing, disabled 3rd party cookies )


Desktop PC
F'D UP!!!
in the process of restoring to factory settings and starting allllll over but i have a big issue if anyone wants to shed some knowledge let me know

 

back to Eset

 

Not all that experienced, been reading here a few days and just trying to be safer.

Currently Running:

AV - KAV 9.0 (expires relatively soon, not sure what I will do but I have no problems with KAV)
FW - Online Armor (free)

On Demand:

Malwarebytes (free) soon to be paid
SuperAntiSpyware (free)


I am by no means a power user. Put bluntly I might be the most ignorant member here when it comes to security. All that I use is very recent. Up until about a week ago I used Zone Alarm free and Avira (which just has to many FP for my taste)

I added Malwarebytes and SAS along with OA after reading here for what seems like hours upon hours. Cannot thank you folks enough for this site and the knowledge you possess. Anything I might need to consider please feel free to let me know.

@Tremortality: What OS are you using?

 

I am using Vista 32bit........

 

you may need some proective aproach to your set up a hips,sandbox with antivirus/firewall will be a strong security aproach my 2 mexican pesos

 

err if you are talking to me I will continue reading about what you suggested (noob here) but willing and eager to learn. As for hips does my OA not offer this? Please forgive the ignorance.. Sandbox I am looking into as we speak but not sure what yet to try. I will soon enough.. Thanks

 

yes OA for hips or mamutu as behabiour blocker or even threatfire
also defensewall and PE Guard

 

one thing i can testify it is that DefenSeWall is protecting my other 2 computers for almost 2 years and zero-virus near here now DW has firewall,sandbox type software and a good one and development is very active and ilya gives good customer support to it's clients

 

Roger that, thanks. Off to read more about sandbox, as it sounds nice.. thank you again.

 

LUA/SRP/ACL/DEP/ACL works on XP I thought only DEP works on Xp? everything else is for vista no??

 

read here:

www.sandboxie.com

 

I'd keep it simple and just add Sandboxie.

 

Thanks for the info

Will do, thanks to both of you for the assistance.

Peace

no problem

 

just tested mbam pro with malware and i think it deserve to be here in my pc

 

Anytime.

 

i put all my security arsenal to the test againts a RootKit call sfz.exe
tested prevx,blue point security,mbam pro,superantispyware,hitman pro,appranger and PE Guard 2.1
AppRanger fail to detect it ,SaS ,mbam Pro ,BpS
prevx ,hitman pro PE Guard
with Pe Guard was nice to see that the rootkit tried to install/load other files(malware)prompted me and just hit terminate the activity very impresive PE Guard has alot of potential and really blocks any rootkits behabiour in real time

 

MBAM and PE Guard 2 is a rock solid Combo

 

yes and they both run smooth

 

All of them works on XP
LUA/SRP/ACL/DEP

 

Any hint on what tomorrow's new setup will be?

My new setup is:
Avira (real-time)
Avast (real-time)
ThreatFire (real-time)
Mamutu (real-time)
Prevx (paid real-time)
Hitman Pro (paid)
Microsoft Security Essentials (real-time)
Zemana (keyloggers, got no chance with me!)
Sandboxie (gotta be safe these days)
DefenseWall (everything set to untrusted)

Running smooth as a baby's behind. 10 minute bootup, few freezes every couple of minutes, lots of alerts to keep me distracted and occupied, get no work done, I mean can't open a document without everything going crazy, but man I feel safe.

Actually, just running Mamutu, MSE and Sandboxie.

 

all this stuff in just one machine? wow i wonder how can this be and not

 

Windows XP Pro sp3 32 bit.

Realtime

KIS 2011
DefenseWall 3.03 paid
PE Guard 2.1 paid.
Win Patrol Pro paid
Keyscrambler paid

On Demand

Hit Man Pro ( scan on boot up)
MBAM (infrequent full scan)

Windows XP Pro sp3 32 bit.

Been running smooth but is there any overkill, particularly DefenseWall and PE Guard, the DefenseWall license expires in September.
