What is your security setup these days?

i am just running spyshelter premium,admuncher trial and hitman pro also opendns in all my systems that's it

 

I hope you're not brave to much
You probably do scan your computer with some on-demand scanner, don't you?

I decided I won't be removing MD: I just don't feel comfortable with all those processes runing around my system. They NEED control...

 

i'm thinking strongly about adding Look 'n' Stop Firewall.
I've always had some firewall to handle outbound connection.
i think there should be such a thing in Windows own firewall , but anyway...

you should be more than fine with that setup m8.
99.9% of security problems originate 18 inches away from the monitor.

 

Back to my favorite setup...

1.Avira premium security suite
2.MBAM pro

 

Trying EMSISOFT 6.0 beta. So far, very pleased both with performance and detection, except for hogging my CPU (AMD triple core at 2.90 Ghz) at 100% during windows folder scan.

 

i kept telling myself that

 

since last night:

- removed Chrome and switched to IE9.

- removed Windows 7 Firewall Control

- added: Look 'n' Stop Firewall, bought and paid for.
small, nice, light, easy to use.
everything i like in an app.

 

What prompted the change to IE9?

 

i always to like to try to reduce the numbers of app i use.
"small is beautiful" and all that.

i feel the speed and security aspects are now close enough between those 2 browsers to not make it matter that much which one i use.


of course, there are things that one browser does better than the other, and vice-versa.
i love Speckie in IE9, Chrome has a more polished and snappier feel to it, etc...

the SmartScreen filter gets on my nerves though.

 

Realtime: Microsoft Security Essentials + SpyShelter Premium + SandboxIE
On demand: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro

 

Exactly what vector for attack is everyone most concerned about, with all these continual changes to their security setup?

Just curious.

For myself, my only concern was for attacks that could be successful without my input, namely web-based exploits - and also to keep things as light and unobtrusive as possible. Since doing that, I haven't radically altered a thing (other than tightening my sandboxes as I learn more).

 

OS-based and Java. Those are the two biggest issue I have.

 

LOL K with your monster pcs Still waiting on you to send me one

 

RJK3 excellent question and IMHO worth a thread of its own.

My main vulnerability is downloads. I am still trying to figure out the best way to check them after taking them out of the sandbox.

 

Howz trusteer running for you man? Thanks for letting me know that the issue have been resolved..no problems since then all is bread and butter my good friend

 

hit them with HMP, then virustotal if you feel it's warranted.

 

I don't run Trusteer my friend. I just tested it in a VM once recently and let you know it was working. It doesn't work right with my setup so I stop using it.

 

Windows 7 Prof. x64 SP1:
UAC at max level
Applocker
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 !!, still not sure if I will use/keep it)

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. I removed Trusteer Rapport as it gave me a lot of freezings.. and I feel save enough so far. Thought about adding Avast free AV with Behaviour,Network,Script & Web shield.. will see

 

added admuncher i will like to know if there is a free version?

 

You seem to switch your setups a lot Last week it was OA++.. a week before it was OA++ & Mbam Pro

 

No, only trial and paid version.

 

thanks lonewolfe

 

zakazak i just found out that OA++ will not longer develop so my only security program for my xp system is mbam pro and spyshelter in my win7

 

oh too bad :/ maybe u should give CIS a try then

 

But I must admit that it is worth the purchase. Program is a lightweight, stable and functional. It is a true install and forget.

Only one thing missing to be perfect: Give full support to Chrome.
