What is your security setup these days?

gery got it man

 

Wow, this setup is the longest one ive used!

• Baseline Security: (Win7SSLFDesktop / IE8SSLFComputer)
• Safe Admin, manually installed (UAC Hardened, Autorun and Autoplay disabled.)
• Software Restriction Policy (Disallowed: Set as default)
• Windows FW setup 2-way [IN/OUTBOUND: Block]

Realtime protection

• Comodo Time Machine BETA (FREE)
• Spyshelter FREE (Auto-block suspicious behaviour / Allow only Microsoft Certified files) (removed: not compatible with GeSWall)
• GesWall FREE (just trying something... I might revert back to Spyshelter free)

Tool:
- ProcessExplorer
- Spywareblaster (free) [Flash Killer for IE: enabled because Y!M will add Flash add-on automatically this will block it)
- MS LocalGPO (for applying Baseline Security templates)

3. Media Players GesWalled + Low rights + EMET2 + Restricted with Spyshelter + Virtualized
   
4. All Download directories is in low rights and have a deny ACL to prevent low rights processes executing in low rights container
   (downloaded low rights processes can't execute in medium / high rights directories)
   
5. Locked down IE8 through Group Policy and FW for on-line banking + EMET2 + Restricted with Spyshelter

 

@Konata Izumi: GeSWall Freeware does not support Opera, Chat Messengers, Multimedia, etc. How you manage to run so many programs in GeSWall Free.

 

When I was installing and uninstalling security software, sometimes several a day, Online Armor was indeed driving me up a wall. If you want a project, try installing Acronis. I was up to somewhere around 150 clicks in different OA check-off boxes, at 3 boxes per pop-up window. I was about to give up on all 3rd party firewalls after that experience, but then I read that OA has an issue with Acronis. Now that my security software is pretty much set, and I'm not doing much other software installations, OA has been very quiet.

 

GesWall Free does support Opera.

for the other programs you can set them up to work with GesWall by using the Application wizard.


btw I removed GesWall... the built-in windows virtualization is probably enough. I need some kind of HIPS. Back to Spyshelter FREE. ^^

 

Norton 360 5.0 Beta

 

ROUTER: Linksys WRT54GS / Tomato / WPA2/ Norton DNS (I can dig Norton DNS other than the ASK.com search, but I can deal with that.) Norton DNS has helped my mother avoid some BS. She is rocking KIS (Current version) but once again, nothing detects everything.


My computer:
XP-SP3:

Real-time:
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security (Super Scan, Scan When Reading and Writing, and added Scanning of Network Files.)
ForceField On

NOTES: I love ZAES however whenever LFD1 or 2 (Left 4 Dead) crashes my COMP ForceField takes a dump on my computer basically requiring me to do a fresh install of FireFox. Not the end of the world, but annoying in the end.****

On-Demand:
A-Squared (On USB drive)
SuperAntiSpyware
Avira
MalwareBytes AntiMalware

Browser:
FireFox ( NoScript, WOT, ShowIP, along with various other "handy" stuff such as ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, Fire FTP, DownThemAll, ChatZilla.)
Chrome
Opera

Other:
Virtual Box
Panda USB vaccine

**Need to get into talks with the folks at ZA.

Did you see any bug or problem?

In general what you think of good and bad in the N360?

Thanks!

 

Well... removed it after 5mins due to constant crashes :/
So, i dont have so much to say about it
Sorry

 

Ok, no problem!

Best Setup*** No problems ever since i switched to this setup - never been more happy with my computer before- no formats nadaaaa

 

i wonder how norton is with the xp systemsi like the idea of having parental control

 

added sandboxie

 

Me too

 

@jmonge: Try DefenseWall Personal Firewall 3.08. It will be invaluable addition in your security setup.

 

i know just install sandboxie for testing purposes,no malware testing but performance testing and yes Defensewall is my faborite so far the best

 

Norton's good in any of windows systems be it XP,Vista or 7. I don't normally believe in idea of parental actually i don't even consider as a part of a suite

 

trying all this in my signiture and so far no slow downs let's see what happened,i will it running for about 2 hours and see what happen
also i want to add DefenseWall
note:compability and performance test here
