What is your security setup these days?

I just uninstalled this morning. It's a nice program, but too many FPs. The last straw was it wouldn't let me download the CIS installer.

 

Ditched ESET. Running the newly released Comodo FW/D+, Sandboxie $ and Hitman Pro. Feels very light. I think this is good enough for me.

 

Come to Panda. We have bamboo straws..

 

I have that in VM, but installed the new Norton 360 beta on my production machine.

 

Tryin' Shadow Defender.I must say i like it!

 

Removed Nod32 AV 5.0, replaced with Emsisoft Anti-malware 6.0

EAM has better detection and better protection than NOD. I see no reason to continue using it (NOD32).

I might add sandboxie paid if I find license. I won't consider the free ver.

This new EAM is fantastic. It needs a litle more lightness and would be perfect.

 

There is a setting in WSA that would have alleviated that problem.

 

Clocks, I may be back..you never know.

 

You're welcome to the bandwagon
Anyone else?

 

For me
Is the other way around , I left it a square for Nod, Nod is lighter and faster.

 

I always use Emsisoft Anti-Malware secretly on another pc

 

Of course man, you're always Welcome!
I always knew it!!

 

Nod is definitely lighter and faster. But I feel that EAM has better detection. I'm testing both right now myself.

Cheers.

 

Time to update the security setup on my family laptop

Current Setup:

Panda Cloud
CounterSpy
Winpatrol Plus

New (planned setup)

A fresh install of Panda Cloud
Kingsoft PC Doctor

I will be dropping CounterSpy because it will no longer be renewable soon and although WinPatrol is a nice program since this machine is old I want to go down to two programs instead of three. KPD will take the place of both programs.

The only bad part about this will be the longer boot and shutdown times but this machine is barely shut down and restarted so that should not be to big of an issue.

 

Haha Noob. Of course you knew

 

Maybe, but it was also not testing well for me (missing malware).

 

My security setup
Win 7 x64 Ultimate Desktop:

New: Blue
Removed: strikethrough

1. Using LUA account as default
2. UAC at highest level
3. AppLocker with all rules, including DLL, enforced
4. Windows Firewall with advanced security, inbound and outbound blocked by default, restricting web-facing applications to specific remote ports and in some cases to remote ip addresses.
5. Disabled DNS Client service: set DNS ip addresses in Network settings, and created DNS-specific rules for all web-facing apps
6. EMET, with mainly web-facing and MS Office apps configured
7. MBAM on-demand free (used sparingly)
8. Routine images of system using ShadowProtect RE disk, saving the images to two separate physical locations.
9. IE 9 x64 with several restrictions applied in Group policy editor
10. All sensitive data kept on a TrueCrypt volume on h/drive and USB pendrive, and also bitlocker encrypted volumes.

the following services are disabled:

• DNS Client
• Secure Socket Tunneling service
• IP Helper
• Remote Access Connection Manager
• SSDP Discovery service
• TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
• Workstation re-enabled because of a VMWare component that needs it
• Function Discovery Resource Publication
• WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery service

• SuRun, v1.2.0.9 – removed at least for now, due to influence from MrBrian and lack of updates from developer.

Note the use of free MBAM for on-demand only.

 

I see you made some changes to the platinum status security setup

 

Without AV the system would be even lighter&faster, but what about protection?
EAM has, perhaps, the best relation of lightness/efficiency.

Your lifesaver is the fact that you're using it with interactive HIPS setting

 

Yep, always looking to tweak Lately I've been sifting through the GPO, especially the Internet Explorer settings, and configuring extensively with the objective to lock things down a bit more.

 

back to WSA. Lightest antimalware I have used.

 

stevan4 ofcourse it learned my system almost a week then put it back to interactive mode is very silent now that nod knows my system and when i see a orange pop up then something is doing something

 

If you are planning on staying 32-bit, check out DefenseWall. With Emsisoft AM and LnS you will be invincible.
