What is your security setup these days?

It's nice to see that you've found that method useful. In that thread you mentioned a problem that I have had also: the program launcher startup isn't always successful. Within the past hour, I've changed the program launcher to launch upon standard account logon via Task Scheduler instead of using the standard account's Startup folder. So far, in maybe 8 to 10 attempts, the program launcher has launched properly every time. If this trend continues, I'll document it in the appropriate thread(s) within the week.

Update: In another perhaps 8 to 10 tries, I did have one failure. I'm now using a task delay of 10 seconds.

 

Returning to use NIS 2011 suite that is extremely lightweight and effective, I'm not using any anti-executable, I intend to add the SRP or AppLocker , but I have to learn more about AppLocker.

UAC set a maximum, DEP for all programs, SEHOP. EMET set to maximum security settings.

Using only the IE8 InPrivate with Adblock to block advertisements and using Norton Safe Web.

Very happy with my current security settings!

Sorry for my english!

 

currently testing Comodo Time Machine

 

What's weak about the Norton firewall?

 

well back before when it was bloated couple years ago i tested some malware that called home and norton stayed silent and didnt alert at all and comodo and OA did alert

 

Installed Emet for both machines..set to maximum protection level..

 

Back to Prevx 3, it has served me well and is such a light and tight mix with Online Armor...

If I use something like Sandboxie to browse (or Comodo sandbox) do I really need a real-time web-shield/scanner? Shouldnt I be protected?

 

Real Time Protection
PE Guard 2.2
Some Registry Tweaks

Ondemand
Hitman Pro

 

The Web-shield "Http scanner" is there to block websites from opening so you wont be able to even access them.

So Yes, it's a nice layer to have I think.

 

Added Norton DNS!

Internet Explorer 8 with all settings on Medium-High (only restricted sites that are set to High).
