What is your security setup these days?

ahh.. dont u dose with asprin too? man the popups are killers

 

Hahahaha, actually they are kinda annoying but when i'm in mood i always set all rules manually.
Sometimes when i'm "not in mood" i just close Malware Defender (Which is rarely)

 

just closing brings a lot of peace

 

Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit (Snapshot)

OS Internals (no extra overhead or cost)

• Safe Admin Tweaks [MANUAL] (UAC Hardened, Autorun and Autoplay disabled.)

Realtime protection

• Comodo Time Machine BETA FREE (Password Authentication to start Windows and CTM GUI settings)
• Spyshelter FREE (Password Protected / Auto-block suspicious behaviour / Allow-only Microsoft Certified / Virtual keyboard on WinLogon and UAC Prompts)

Tool:

1. ProcessExplorer (replaced task manager)
2. Spywareblaster (free) [Flash Killer for IE: enabled because Y!M will add Flash add-on automatically this will block it)
3. MS LocalGPO (for applying Baseline Security templates) :
   Baseline Security Template: (Win7SSLFDesktop -> IE8SSLFComputer -> Win7ECDesktop. Allowed Legacy Apps to run)
4. EMET 2 (Maximum Security Setting)
5. CCleaner

Setup:

1. Opera (Browser) (Low Integrity + EMET2 + Virtualized + Restricted with Spyshelter + built-in adblocker thru adblock.ini file (adblock list provided at http://fanboy.co.nz))
   
2. BitTorrent and Yahoo! Messenger (Medium Integrity + EMET2 + Virtualized)
   
3. Media Players (Low Integrity + 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
6. NortonDNS

Now that's what I called Layered Security Setup!
I can still add an AV but no, thanks
Any Comments? Suggestions?

 

Its 3 months now.. Avast is still there on my system .. I will keep it till i'll format my system.

 

Why do you go to that extent and still do online banking? Can you not have auto-pay? Or do you have a separate account that has a small balance that payments are drawn from?

Overkill - plain and simple. If you sleep better @ night because of it,then so be it

 

So many x86 users ... so few on x64
so many applications not working on x64

 

All application, which do not modify kernel (invalid/undocumented hooks), are compatible with x64 via WOW64.

 

@jmonge: I am still waiting for your feedback.

 

couple of changes

 

WOW32

 

Sorry! It is actually WoW64.

 

Desktop PC:

Windows 7 x64
UAC

Realtime:
Online Armor Free
ASquared Anti malware paid
PrevX safeOnline

On Demand:
Hitman Pro
Malwarebyte


Laptop:

Windows7 x64
UAC

Realtime:
Comodo Firewall
PrevX 3.0 paid
MSE


On Demand:
Hitman Pro

 

Removed Online Armor and NOD32.

Installed Chrome and set it to start under Sandboxie with WOT and LastPass. Installed Prevx Safe Online and used Kees recommendations for fewer I/O. Turned on Windows Defender. Set Hitman Pro to scan on startup. Will scan with MBAM once a day and A2 Emergency Kit every few days until I feel that this is a secure combination.

No problems after a couple of hours and things seem faster.

 

I have been without AV for 2 months I guess, I´m thinking in installing Prevx 3.0 full but I don´t know wich second scanner to install.
MBAM or Hitman pro
Any suggestion ?

 

why not install both scanners? theyre on demand and with those 2 u should be good, those are the 2 i use

 

ah ok

 

its not overkill. I still need some sort of sandboxing app. GesWall does not work with Spyshelter FREE

just hobby man, a hobby

 

I don´t like to have a lot of security programs.
Before, I used ESET Smart Security as main and only protection, and I´m looking for something similar.
But maybe you´re rigth, they wont be real time protection as prevx just on demand

 

yep, they dont cause any extra resources to be used wen installed just for ondemand

 

What are those recommendations ?

 

Trying eset av on 32 bit..so far running smooth

 

I'm in the same way
My current setup is flawless (I don't mean 100% protection, i meant that no noticeable slowdowns, good security and SUPER STABLE)

 

what about asprin? you well stocked?
