What is your security setup these days?

Good Evening ! Real-Time...Avira Premium...Prevx 3.0 with Safe-On-Line...and Mbam Pro. Firewall P.C.Tools Firewall Plus 6.0...staying tuned for 7.0...Browsers Google Chrome...Opera 10.62...O/S...Windows 7. Out of curiosity this is the first time enabling Mbam...Real-Time...will it conflict with Avira...or Prevx...so far everything seems to be working in harmony with one another. Has anyone employed a similar set-up ? Sincerely...Securon

 

Eset Smart Security 4.2
Applocker
LUA
EMET (maximum security settings)

 

I do not know about Prevx but certainly MBAM real-time will not conflict with Avira.

Thanks.

 

But the question is how long will be now? . The weird thing is I do not think you even know. .

Thanks.

 

I have been running Avira Premium and Prevx 3 for quite some time now without a hiccup. Prevx is designed to work with about anything, even politicians...well maybe not them...

 

Good to know.

Thanks.

 

Good Evening ! Many thanks CogitoTesting and Mongol...for your feedback...as expected Prevx...is compatible with just about any app...just wasn't to sure about Avira...as mentioned everyone's happy with their neighbours. Sincerely...Securon

Norton Antivirus 2011

 

Avast 5 Free Antivirus, Prevx 3, Online Armor (paid) + Hitman Pro. Backup - Acronis True Image Home 2010.

 

i changed, once again.

got rid of Geswall so i could use Trusteer Rapport. Rapport is not compatible with either Sandboxie or Geswall. I don't know about Defensewall though i assume it isn't either...

To replace Geswall i use Avast 5 Free.

added Neo's Safekey for a little extra logging protection.

 

I last used AVG software, when they had AVG Anti-Spyware.

AVG 2011 Beta 2
KeyScrambler Personal

Custom installation without Anti-Spam, Firewall and Toolbar. (I have LinkScanner, but with no Toolbar).

This is on my own lappie running Windows 7 32-bit...minor change from last setup:

Windows built-in security mechanism:
LUA, UAC at max (with 'elevated program launcher' method to run trusted apps that require admin rights)
Default-deny SRP with Additional Path Rules set to 'Unrestricted'
(Mozilla Firefox profile folder, my PortableApps directory, special folder for trusted program installers/registry files, etc)
EMET v2.0.0.1 (DEP, SEHOP, ASLR - all at 'green' settings)

Sandbox/Containment:
Sandboxie (for launching unknown/untrusted downloads)

Real-time antimalware protection:
Panda Cloud AV Pro (behavior blocker, behavior analysis)
Returnil Virus Guard ("Only proven detection rules")

Firewall:
ZA Free (default settings; except auto-updates turned off)

Light-weight HIPS/Anti-keylogger:
WinPatrol Plus (custom 'locked' registry keys)
SpyShelter Free (Auto-block suspicious behavior)

Light-virtualization:
Returnil System Safe Virtual Mode on-demand (used when lending my lappie to others - esp. click-addicts)

Others:

Show Hidden File Extensions, AutoRun disabled, Custom DNS service with DNS Jumper (Norton DNS, Sunbelt ClearCloudDNS, OpenDNS Family Shield, etc)

A few future considerations:

Comodo Firewall. (or PrivateFirewall which I have not tried)
MSE when the newer version is out of beta.
Pure behavior blocker such as ThreatFire or Mamutu but it may be redundant on my current setup...I'll see how things go.

 

I - despite my efforts so far - cannot infect my VM which is Running Norton IS 2011 and Norton DNS. Norton snags more than half of the samples right after they are downloaded. The rest are either detected before execution, on execution, or by SONAR. Only a few cache files were left behind.

Not to mention how much the DNS blocks.

I still have an extra VM that I plan on loading with the latest Kaspersky, been meaning to try!

 

norton is really good

 

SoNar helps alot here it's like a behabiour blockerthe firewall is weak

 

Since I was the one to post that I hadn't had any changes, I'll post one although non security related

-Dragon Naturally Speaking Standard 10

 

firewall is hilarious

 

Norton Antivirus is very good now especially this new 2010 version,it is so fast and light but i remember the 2007 norton monster

 

lol tell me about it

 

What problems are y'all having with the firewall? I've tweaked and customized mine.
