1. Disabled Windows System Restore and Windows Defender
2. User Account Control set to Highest
3. Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (MSCM) for downloading Baseline Security Templates from Microsoft that will harden Group Policy settings.
4. LocalGPO (included in MSCM) this tool is used to apply Security Templates.
   
   • Templates used: Merged copy of Win7SSLFComputer, Win7SSLFUser and IE8SSLFComputer, IE8SSLFUser
     • Do not allow legacy apps to run
   • Modified GPO thru 'gpedit.msc' also added some Safe-Admin tweaks
     • allowed Administrators to debug programs (Compatibility for EMET. see below)
     • 1806 trick
5. Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) to apply the ff. and more:
   • Data Execution Prevention (DEP): Opt-out
   • Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP): Opt-out
   • Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR): Opt-in
6. Returnil for system virtualization (trust programs from real disk only)
7. ClearCloud DNS

• Clearcloud DNS
• 1806 Trick

JanusVM (Anonymous Browsing)
Tor Browser Bundle


Changes:
Removed Geswall, Prevx SafeOnline to lighten the load on system resources.

 

Are the security templates still in .inf format? Is it possible for you to attach or host them somewhere? I am curious to see them. I have one win7 template, but I am really displeased with the absence of template tools in the OS.

Sul.

 

mine's not in .inf format (it is in a folder with .xml and .pol files)

Wow so much you have installed already . BTW hows your new baby doing?

Though I'm wondering why you installed both BD Traffic Light and AVG LinkScanner as they work in a very similar way? IMO one of them should be enough

 

Use OA Premium + AppGuard and use Hitman Pro (I know you have a license for it) on demand!

Best thing would be OA++ together with AppGuard and Hitman Pro as on-demand! You can upgrade your premium license really cheap to OA++!

 

thanks shadek for the advise i am trying spyshelter beta with restricted mode its fantastic software

 

Windows XP SP3

Active- DefenseWall Personal Firewall 3.11 + Windows Firewall + EMET + Ad Muncher + Norton DNS.

On-demand- Hitman Pro + Dr web cure it + MBAM.

Backup- Macrium Reflect ( testing )

 

DefenseWall 3.12
KeyScrambler Pro 2.8.0.1
Anti-Executable 2.0.0.183
Shadow Defender 1.1.0.325
Macrium Reflect Full Edition 4.2/3141

 

It's doing great! love this thing with it's near instant boot. As they say: "once you go SSD you can never go back"

Hmm. Good point on AVG consider it gone lol traffic light is doing an excellent job!

Also as I no longer have windows my SAS Pro liscence is going to waste... So the first person to PM me gets the remainder time on it ( bought it in march)

EDIT: xXDarkStalkerxX got the licence!

 

Is there a guide for config. TrustPort 2011?

Hi, I used Avira Anntivir Premium and now I have just installed TrustPort 2011.
Is there a guide to configure it? I hope I have done a good choise
If I use its default, will TrustPort 2011work fine?
Thanks

 

Using ESET Smart Security 5 BETA on my main pc.

 

Nice x942 enjoy

Welcome back my friend good to see that your pc is finally fixed

I agree with you there. I have an ssd and its night and day.

 

After the First security setup with all on demand scanner failed



I built this :
windows7 x64
LUA , UAC max , EMET Max

Real time :
avast Free
Prevex Free
comodo FW (safemode) ,Defense +

with a comodo Time machine and secunia for updates

also sandboxie for browsing delete content after closing

with trafic light beta and not script + never remember history

with SAS , MBAM , Hitman pro as on demand scanner



the new update of hitman detected
Like foure suspicious .sys files and drivers

so i clicked delete after Restart

now Comdo trashed and wont run again

So i fired up the Time machine
restarted the computer

and BaM the problem still there


so Another security setup Fail

 

Think about the bright side... Next time, you'll know what not to do... hopefully.

 

Could you explain how they are similar? The only similar thing they have are search engine ratings, and... as everything else... one may rate something red, and the other won't, because won't be in their blacklist.

They won't overlap. They work in different ways.

BUT... at the moment there's a conflict between both (the ratings)... both vendors are aware of it, and for what I could see AVG could reproduce the problem... so, those who would like to use both, just need to wait...

 

you mean unplug the computer


i think i need a good light visualization software
something won't betray me like comodo Time machine did

so Retunil

 

Well, of course I do not want you to unplug the computer. I said that, next time, you'll know what not to do.

I see you got Windows 7... which version? If you have Windows 7 Ultimate, you could use AppLocker.

I see you use a limited user account, UAC and EMET. I also see you use COMODO firewall with Defense+.

With the security you have, you either don't fully understand it, hence not taking the most out of it... or you're a risky user...

I guess you could use something like Returnil, Deep Freeze... or image backups (advisable).

I'd bet on prevention, first. (Prevention, as in prevent malware and not remediate afterwards with things like Returnil and image backups.)

I don't personally use image backups to fight malware, only corrupted installations.

 

happy with OnLine Armor Premium

 

Re: Is there a guide for config. TrustPort 2011?

You should really create a new thread for this.

 

thanks

I'm not saying that i will use Returnil or light virtulization alone

But i need something to help when the disaster strike

as i'm being targted it's not parnoia but it's a fact

i use safe surf sandboxie , no script ,

i'm not saying i need something that will help against zero day attacks

i like hitman pro as it's easy to use fast and has a good detection rates

but the thing that annoy me that


all the scanner failed on the last system infection

and i mean All !!!!!



and also
the money is an issue i can't afford to buy programs and security packs

so i'm getting most of them off V_L List



the new setup will be :
Firefox : with the useual security addon and sandboxie

avast
comodo

some of on demand scanners
MBAM , SAS , Hitman

and Returnil



will be running LUA , EMET , and app guard

i really don't understand most of these stuff

but i see some experienced guys here and i copy them

and BTW i'm using win7 x64 ultimate

 

I'd suggest you add Microsoft Security Essentials on your setup. It will help alot.

 

When i get my new DVD Writer, i'll do a new install.
Setup will be:
EAM v6.0 + OA v5 + HMP
EMET, SRP

All will be set to highest
