What is your security setup these days?

Running fine so far....

 

Started fresh, installed Windows 7, made a Win7 System Image this time. Set up some old favorites: Sandboxie, Mamutu, MBAM, HitmanPro, Chrome. Didn't load a couple of programs that I felt were too intrusive, including Skype and Steam. In fact I want to try using as few 3rd party programs as possible. As for games, I'll just have one or two on the computer at the same time.

 

I'm surprised reading through the last several pages of this thread how few people seem to use light virtualization/instant restore technology (Returnil, Deep Freeze, etc.). I get by with Deep Freeze and Anti-Executable alone.

I'm going to throw one other thing out that some might not think of as a "security" measure, but it's exactly why I do it: I run portable programs from stand-alone folders and single executables as often as possible.

This thread has got to be longer than 'War and Peace' now. Good stuff!

 

Those things are way too annoying for me, and my dynamic computer. I would use them on a more static one though.

 

Well look at who has returned to my setup...the dancing Panda bear...

 

Got rid of WinPatrol as well, since Avast Behaviour Shield can do its jobs.

 

Very prudent Security Approach!

 

Windows 7 Prof. x64 SP1:
UAC at max level
Applocker (with the ruleset of some guy that posted it here.. MrBrian or smth?)
DEP,SEHOP
EMET at max protection (all internet facing apps added, pdf reader, openoffice,...)
NortonDNS

Real-Time protection:
Comodo Internet Security 5.5 (Proactive configuration)
MBAM Pro
Appguard (thanks jmonge !!)
Trusteer Rapport

On demand:
Hitman Pro
AVZ
Dr.Web CureIT
Comodo Cleaning Essentials

Firefox:
Adblock Plus (Easylist + EasyGerman, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's List + P2P + Tracking/Stats Blocking + International Tracking/Stats Blocking, Facebook, Malware Domains)
HTTPS-Everywhere
HTTPS-Finder
Flashblock
LastPass

My security setup gets more and more tools (started with CIS only) but so far I can't feel any slow downs.

 

Hehe I knew the dancing Panda would return...

 

stay happy with the dancing panda..my good friend

 

IMO your setup could be without at least one less security application.

 

How you liking comodo internet security buddy? heard the antivirus is pretty good too..?

 

I don't use the AV, so I wouldn't know. How is Comodo TrustConnect my friend?

 

And that would be?

CIS is the heart of the setup. Mbam Pro is a very nice addition (especially the web protection.. but the realtime protection has a great detection rate as well).

Trusteer Rapport seems to be one of the best security solution for online banking/shopping.

And Appguard is for me like sandboxie/shadowdefender for other people. It simply won't let anything execute (except its a non-protected app or I allow it).

 

He should be proud of his little bear it has proven to be great against the hunters sorry I mean malware in the recent posted tests by both AV-C and AV-Test

 

Why would you need Appguard when you have Defense+ with Sandbox and Applocker? Seems redundant to me.

Hahaha the little bear killed malware lol

 

Even if it is automatically sandboxed as untrusted it will still have access to some of the system files?

 

Straight from Comodo Help File: Untrusted - The application is not allowed to access any of the Operating system resources. The application is not allowed to execute more than 10 processes at a time and is run with very limited access rights. I run with restricted personally and thats enough for me. For every security app you have, it increases your attack surface.

 

Ops you are right. Hmm but a trusted file (e.g. firefox.exe,mpc.exe,..) is allowed to execute other (non trusted) files ?

 

You are all correct, its hard to beat Panda. Who could beat a Panda anyway - they are so cute...

 

I've settled with only in-built OS security + sandboxie
and am currently busy finding the right browser

Trying Safari right now

 

I don't know if you mean this but here's a link

I didn't download this, so be careful

 

Yippie now it is two members on Wilders that uses Safari

 

one thing I like in Safari is it blocks ad cookies.
hmm but there's no "click-to-play plugin"-like setting in Safari, I need to install an extension to do this.

so, bye bye Safari for now.

 

thanks mrpink
