What is your security setup these days?

i am trying OnLine Armor free firewall and i have it in a 64 bit system and also i want to know wht level of protection do i get when i run my browser safe?it also has a green border around the edge

 

as far as I can tell it is isolating your browser from the system.

 

using avast antivirus after removing NIS 2011.

 

I'd say that RunSafer is more like Sandboxie's DropRights. When you run your web browser with RunSafer enabled, it effectively makes it able to do only what Limited users are allowed to do in a Limited user account. The cool thing is that when a browser is run using OA's RunSafer, any program that is launched by that browser will inherit the Limited user account restrictions.

On the system where I use OA, I enable RunSafer on all internet-facing applications, in addition to using Sandboxie's DropRights. Sometimes I open apps outside of SBIE, and RunSafer is another good layer to have around, albeit a very similar one to SBIE. If a user is not running Drop Rights in SBIE, then OA's RunSafer is even more important.

Here is OA's help file on RunSafer.

 

bought Image for Windows today.

just an awesome app!

 

windows seven 64

realtime :
look and stop
vipre 4
spyshelter
clearcloud DNS

on demand :
malwaresbytes

 

thanks my friends so runsafer is amust feature to have on then

 

There would be numerous cause for this ,
There are things u could try first

1.If u use prex realtime
Turn off prevx
And try again
2.Use latest adobe flash
3.Make sure its not your ISP fault
4.Old hardware or bad driver can also cause it

 

UPDATE:

Windows died last night so now this is my setup until I get my Mac book Pro:

OS: XUbuntu 10.10
FW: IPTables/UFW & Untangle FW
Firefox: Same Add-ons as before.
AV: NONE/Just Untangle FW on my network
App Armour: Set as default + FireFox 4

Loving how quick and light this setup is Turns out I missed Linux after all

 

Great decision. Just add ESET CyberSecurity to Mac OS X, turn on the built-in firewall, subscribe to a reputable DNS service, change your default browser to Chrome and you are good to go.

 

He's using Xubuntu by the way, not bloated Mac OS X.

 

My advice was for when he gets the MacBook Pro, unless he is buying that to run Ubuntu or Windows. And what exactly makes you feel Mac OS X is bloated?

 

Compared to Xubuntu it sure is.

 

Avast Pro and MBAM Pro - quite impressed of how light these 2 run together.

 

Thanks for the advice I will be sure to check it out. Is there anything like SRP on Mac or Linux ? I can't find anything. Maybe just a policy editor. I know SeLinux is similar but I prefer apparmour over SeLinux and the won't run together

Very true. But then again I think anything is bloated compared to XUbuntu

 

Exactly what I will do once I make the switch. But I think I will use HandsOff as firewall, or maybe Littlesnitch.

LittleSnitch has been the long time leader as "The" firewall to use on Mac OS X, but HandsOff is getting more popular everyday.

 

went back to OA free it runs better now

 

Good for you.
It's hard for me to stay away from OA Free.
The HIPS is awesome, and the firewall is everything I could hope for.
I like having it on one of my machines.

 

it is very informative and this new version is very nice and well make

 

also i am running my browser runsafer i think it may add some protection to my browser i will start playing with this beauty it has some autorun protection and program protection can easilly from there block a rouge that may install by accident ofcourse it has to face mbam pro first

 

I like everyone of your programs, and have run them myself.
You have a killer lineup... pity the poor malware.

 

it takes alot of installing and uninstalling plus testing to reach this point but i am very happy my systems are very fast and secure and as i always love hips programs it must be here thanks and you also have a good set up

 

i forgot i also have hitman pro ondemand

 

How often would you say you run HMP on-demand scans?
I run HMP about once a day, maybe every other day.
I run a scheduled MBAM scan daily.
