Your most favourite security app

Thanks...jmonge

 

we need stuff like this to save our bacons and get system back on track

 

Too much bacon is not good for you.

 

bacon is good but knowing scotty is guarding it.. is indeed a good feeling

 

Aahhh, too easy, thanks Cloned One!

 

That is indeed the tough part of this topic... picking one and not two or three.
Since few of us can imagine using just one app, our brains resist the instruction to select just one.
But all of that aside, going purely with the thread topic to pick the "most favorite", I would have to say avast! Free.

 

Sandboxie

 

hmmm making our life difficult. mine is Winpatrol Plus

 

Ahh I would have to say Sandboxie

 

Shadow Defender, Returnil 2008, Online Armor, NOD 32, and Avira AV.

P.S. I will probably be adding Appguard to this list when the new fully compatible verion for 64bit comes out.

 

Old: SafeSpace

New: Dr Web

 

sweet sigs they got...

 

Norton Internet Security 2011
Emsisoft Mamutu 3.0

Both excellent and incredibly light.

 

Mine:

• Firefox + NoScript running Sanboxed [ in Sandboxie, of course]
• ESET NOD32 v4.2.64.12
• For on-demand scanning [every once in a while ]: MBAM and SAS

All this running on Windows 7 Professional [Win XP NO-MORE]

Hmmm....forgot to include a back-up of what's on my computer HDD on a USB HDD kept in a safe place if something goes wrong and I have to start over again.

Sandboxie (Paid) and Winpatrol

 

I get very much confused when some1 asks me about this because it kees on changing all times. At present I am getting a fan of Vipre Premium because of its all around balanced protection.

 

Instant System Recovery (e.g. Rollback, EAZ-FIX, AyRecovery etc.)

 

DefenseWall Personal Firewall

 

BluePoint Security 2010

 

blue point security is strong i tested the other day and i was amazed to see blocking nasty stuff

 

Just complementing, WinPatrol is also excellent, and deserves to be quoted in my post.

 

Hi:

Well defensewall has weak-points (certain stuff pass through) and not 100% effective as it is mentioned in AV-comparative single appl. test. Also geswall on several youtube tests showed malware by passed it so not 100% secure either. SO far the best I have seen from all the youtube test videos (100 of them) Appguard got perfect. Also sandboxie was not immune either. It did not stop some malware once you choose to save some safe application on hard disk and its outside sandbox (malware could hide inside safe applications). From all the videos and research I done so far Appguard was the winner. So this is my view.

Now I think Appguard + Norton antivirus + Comodo firewall with Defense plus (set to maximum by setting its sandbox setting from "partial Trust" to "block" for unknown detections) plus DEP and UAC with fully updated windows should be safe.
