Yup, thats why I've ran Geswall for an entire year with no issues it just plain works!

 

for the first time i agree with you just joking man
i am glad i am using it too

 

It's actually quite good. Check the av-compartives.org ratings... I'd say it's about as good as Avast, perhaps not quite as good as Avira or Symantec. But still very good.

 

@Toxinon
Thank you for that

@Kerodo

Long time no talk!!

I forgot about av-comparatives. Thanks for your in put bud.

 

Just added Trend Micro SafeSync online backup / storage to the arsenal . Sale ends Jan. 4th for anyone interested- unlimited storage for home use, continuous backup, sale is $35 for 1 year which is about 40% off- it is essentially the same as humyo.com.

Android app works fine on my phone to access files.

 

The settings were left on default. Same with Avast and ESS. Sorry, but ESET was light years ahead of CIS against the 0 day malware I tested. While not perfect, it performed much, much better.

CIS = fail in my tests. Big time. I shouldn't have to tweak a ton of settings or tell it to trust nothing. I didn't have to tweak Avast or ESS.

 

ah sorry to know that.. Good luck to you with ESS my friend.

 

Thanks for posting when the sale ends cuz I was wondering.

 

no problem- I updated over in the backup forum. everything seems to be running pretty well. Now I guess I'm left with whether to get a snapshot program like RollbackRX or just do some imaging program like from the new Todo backup.

Question- has anyone used the built in Image program in Windows 7 Ultimate? Does it make an image of the entire drive (ex- installed programs) or just the bare metal image (or whatever it's called)??

 

testing Zemana Antilogger

 

I used only Comodo Defense +
Firewall and AV disable.

* Removed Comodo . bcoz its freezing my pc

 

Windows XP SP3

Realtime:
Sandboxie( Forced browsers, messengers, removable drives)
Spyshelter Free
Windows firewall

Ondemand:
Hitman pro

 

Currently trialing ESET Smart Security, since the popups of ESET NOD32 Antivirus to renew my license we're getting annoying.
When ESET Smart Security starts to pop-up because my trial will end, I will investigate option 2. I will test out Avira Personal again, since I heard the ads are gone, however it is a shame it lacks the Dutch language.

 

Windows XP SP3

Real-Time
Avast Antivirus Free - File Shield only, scanning writes and executes.
Sandboxie Paid - Sandboxing SRWare Iron.

- Force Iron to run in the sandbox.
- Iron has direct access to my bookmarks, cookies and downloads folder.
- Iron is the only program allowed to run or have internet access in the sandbox.
- Sandbox contents get deleted on shutdown.​

Real time- Eset Smart Security

On Demand- Malwarebytes

Backup- First Defense-ISR

 

Many thanks to Sully. Now running sandboxie (paid) with avast free as a backup. Very light set up and I believe very secure.

 

I have used it. You can make an image of an entire hard drive or you can backup selected files. Restoring an image is slow compared to other backup solutions.

 

Removed sandboxie and using avast sandbox

 

Windows XP SP3

Realtime:
Sandboxie( Forced browsers, messengers, removable drives)
Spyshelter Free
Windows firewall

Ondemand:
Hitman pro
MBAM
MalAware

 

Windows 7 64bit

Removed Avast Internet Security

Installed Avira Antivir Personal Free
Installed PC Tools Firewall + v7
Installed Sandboxie (free version)

Works well together and very secure. Protects against keyloggers, exploits, trojans, virii, and malware in general that come through the internet and executables.

Avast IS was light, easy to use, and partially effective. It missed keyloggers as most AV's will. The only preventative I've found was to sandbox the browser or virtualize the OS. I would rather prevent one then discover one has been collecting my keystrokes through detection.

SourMilk out

 

Added LnS
Disabled Windows firewall

 

What would you consider slow? I have a 250 GB C drive that would be imaged/restored and it is about 1/2 full if that means anything.

thanks

 

A little change to paid protection:

On Access-
NIS 2011
Malwarebytes - web url disable - block to many website
Adaware - file block disable - conflict with NIS file access


On Demand-
SAS - Realtime protection does not detect anything and resource hog on boot
Hitman Pro - Good for detecting Bootsector and rootkit virus

little change to free setup:

On Access -
PC Tools Firewall - HIPS
PC Tools Threat Fire - BB
Panda Clouda - (in the cloud) good at blocking but suck at removal
Avira Antivirus - good at blocking but suck at removal

On Demand-
SAS
Adaware
Malwarebytes
Hitman Pro

 

new set security set up for :

Win7 64 bits:AppGuard beta and Kav AntiVirus

Win Vista 32 bits:Prevx and GesWall Pro and Hitman Pro

Xp2 32 bits:Pe Guard and Hitman Pro
