What is your security setup these days?

man cant wait no more

 

hahhahah indeed I heard that version 4 is full of surprises..and to add it will have layered security in this version... even if the signatures dont catch something version 4 will bring strong app control and whitelisting features

 

lets see what this app is all about when it comes out

 

It's going to have some kind of offline protection also! It's hard for me to stop Drolling! The Beta Testing will be fun!

TH

 

oh yea thats great.

 

offline protection as in local database or app control or HIPS sorta ... ?

 

when is the beta testing for?

 

Tempted to try Comodo to see if they fixed an issue i had with a router software

 

Added SP1 to my Windows 7

 

The umbrella license still has 9 months left but this combo is so tight and light...

 

Using a new set-up on one machine that I'm thinking of rolling out OS LUA/Admin type variations across them all.

On this Vista 32 HP:

Realtime

SBIE - all internet facing apps, readers, media players, office programmes and removable drive letters etc in individual sandboxes with very limited start/run and internet access

One recovery path for all boxes to a folder that is forced to sandbox with no internet access

EMET with all categories selected for selected apps (effectively those sandboxed plus some windows folder stuff).

SRP Deny policies on a few custom directories family members use to store school/work stuff so they can view office/PDF files etc (sandboxed) but no new executables can run and limited user policies for most user space stuff to prevent access to Admin/System locations

Windows Vista Firewall

On-Demand

Shadow Defender
MBAM
HMP
Avira

Only issue really is that I do not find Windows Firewall as user friendly as some others so I might try a light firewall that allows easier access to rules etc

Cheers

very tempted to test DefenseWall any issues with Avast?

 

Not sure that you would even need Avast with Defensewall...

 

maybe but the umbrella is needed incase of a heavey shower my good friend

 

are you using phantom's rule set for ur lns?

 

Defensewall and Avast work very well together. I've been running them together for several months with no issues.

 

for 32 bits systems Defensewall is all you need to get protected

 

I cooked up my own rules over the couple years I used LnS prior to moving to OA. I kept a copy for changes like this...

 

Moving back to Drive Snapshot

 

Switched from avast pro to Avast IS

 

First time i've kept an AV for so long (I mean aside from EAM)

It actually still lags browsing but i can live with it

 

Guys I need help on setting up security on my aunt's desktop.

Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 256MB RAM, Windows XP Professional SP3

Now I have Avast! Free and Windows Firewall up and it's like already consuming 112MB of RAM after startup.. Maybe go AVless? and just set spywareblaster up?

 

I'd say get some new RAM (throw the old 256MB RAM away, and get 1GB of RAM) and which is compatible with the mainbord in that computer. Buying some new RAM (1GB) is also cheaper than buying a license for a paid antivirus product every year. And then you can use avast! + Windows Firewall.
I wouldn't go AVless on your aint's desktop, I think an antivirus is the best setup for most people who don't really are pc expert.

 

I've used DW @ different PCs.
I added some Anti-KeyLogging protection and an ISR or Boot-to-Restore solution.
