What is your security setup these days?

1. Filseclab FW + avast! Free AV + SpyShelter Personal
2. FW Win7 + Panda CA Pro + SpyShelter Premium
3. Symantec EP + SpyShelter Premium + Shadow Defender

Router firewall, DNS
Firefox with NoScript, Better Privacy, AdBlock, KeyScrambler
scanners on-demand: MBAM, NoVirusThanks Malware Remover, Runscanner
TrueCrypt, Blowfish Advanced SC

 

No, the restricted mode feature is only available for x86 systems.

I am running it on my x64 Win 7 currently.

 

Switched to AVG Pro and Privatefirewall.I will see in the next hours how they are working together.

 

same for me...didnt get a good performance and slowed down my pc a lot
back to super fast avast

 

I removed SpyShelter, so my setup looks here: Returnil Virtual System Pro, Prevx 3 (paid), PrivateFirewall, Mbam on-demand.
Runs very smoothly.

Is that returnil with or without the AV? How is it running?

 

Was it heavy? Any compatibility/other problem?

 

I hate gui of SpyShelter.
RVS is edition without av engine.

 

MSE lasted less than 24 hours, just too resource intensive. I open my 'Backup' folder (containing exe and rar files) and MsMpEng.exe kicks up to over 80% CPU until all icons are displayed. Terrible.

Back to avast! Free now. Is it just me, or is avast! by far the best free AV going? (In my ever so humble opinion of course.)

 

I'm running MSE #1 on both 32 bit & 64 bit computers, I have decided to wait until MS 'stage' my upgrade. Is MSE 2.0 much more resource hungry than #1?

 

I have my relatives using MSE since v1, including beta version, and there were/are no issues regarding performance. They actually say is the lightest antivirus they ever had on their systems.

 

OK, thanks for the info.

 

That has been one of the two annoyances I have with MSE and MS refuses to address it. I am seeing this even on a Core i5 + 4GB DDR3 and 7200 RPM HDD. In MSE 2 you can avoid this behavior by changing real time protection to - Scan Incoming files only, though this brings its own trade-offs with it.

You are not alone in thinking that.

 

I did consider doing this, but don't fancy weakening a product just to get it running "right". Oh well, avast! is zipping along nicely as usual

 

Well although SpyShelter worked fine, I found it a tad too noisy. I want protection but something that works nice and effectively in the background. I'm trying Zemana Antilogger. See if that's any quieter.

muf

 

Its alot quieter on x64 simply because it doesnt work on x64.

 

very tempted to test mamutu

 

LOL J, switching again huh?

 

Just noticed just setup is almost as mine, YOU WANNABE!
Well, almost as mine when i get back to EAM still not

 

LOL Noob. You copied me pfft...

 

well guys emsisoft makes good stuff men

 

Malware Defender Beta is here

 

Yep they do.

is it 64-bit yet?

 

32 bits only

 

Oh well worth a try to ask
