What is your security setup these days?

i think spyshelter is stronger than zemana

 

I'm running Norton Internet Security, Prevx and use a VPN.
Seems this N00b has much to learn about security and whatnot.

 

4fl that is good to start with and welcome to wilders

 

Changed to what I intend (in case there are no issues interacting) to stay with a bit longer - all in my sig.

 

i am looking for ProcessGuard3.5 file download but not luck can some here helpthanks in advance

 

NIS 2011 on bro's laptop

 

only 3.1 available to download .. if u want 3.5 u have to search torrent or pirate sites which cannot be trusted.

 

What I did not like about it was the registration process. I installed it on a VM to test and after that, there was no way to install it on the real hardware. It would no longer take the license and there doesn't seem to be any way to transfer your license.

Decided on my 2011 software. Just purchased a 4 user license for ESS.

 

What made you decide to buy ESS and not NOD32?
(That is the problem I have been thinking about the last couple of days. Got 14 days to go, so time to think.)

 

Several reasons. Shoot me a email and I will discuss it with you. I cant PM right now as my limit is esceeded.

Stem, Sully & Kees setup (thanks guys)

I use my laptop for browsing, internet banking, occasional internet shopping (supermarket groceries, and gifts like flowers/cards).

The OS is Vista x32 home premium

Firewall
Using Vista's Firewall according to Stem's excellent setup thread

Policy HIPS - System wide
Using Kees1958 safe admin guidelines to realise a quiet HIPS.

• UAC set to quiet (auto elevate), still benefit of Windows file/registry virtualisation and IE8 protected mode
• only allowing elevation from safe places, disabled installer recognition,
• only allow SIGNED PROGRAMS TO RUN ELEVATED,
• only allow SIGNED DRIVERS TO INSTALL
• EMET-2 DEP & SEHOP allways on

Policy HIPS - Threatgates
Using Sully's excellent PGS to contain threatgates and some other safe-admin advises

• Registry tweak to disable autoruns
• Deny execute USB sticks and data partition through PGS
• Using the PGS preset to disable some other threatgates/risky programs
• Run Basic User IE8, Live mail, WMP, Flash and PDF reader through PGS
• EMET-2 ASLR and Windows Own Virtualising of same aps with RUNASINVOKER registry tweak
• Using the 1806 registry trick to disable download/running of executables (with a SAFE_ON/OFF.reg) from IE8 and Mail

Realtime security applications
a) TrendMicro BrowserGuard Free (against JIT spray attacks on IE8 )
a) Avast Free WebGuard and MailGuard


On demand security applications
a) Autoruns with saved file for comparison
b) Hitman Pro Free

Because most of the protection is OS internals, the overhead is very low. Very with it for some months now

 

Trying Comodo's Cleaning Essentials and to be more specific its new KillSwitch running good and provides a thorough details
