What is your security setup these days?

I'm using the HIPS in Privatefirewall, along with Mamutu, a BB, and only on-demand AV/AM. Interesting that you've dropped the HIPS and are using real-time AV/AM to go with Sandboxie. I'll probably wind up dropping either the HIPS or the BB, if I can decide between them. Seems redundant, especially with UAC at max.

 

Keep it simple!

Sandboxie,with a firewall and an AV on demand is plenty enough.

The internet isn't as dangerous as some of you make it out to be,really .

 

Sandboxie and Panda Cloud Anti Virus

 

...hmmm......maybe you've not wandered through the internet enough, really

nice..

 

Taking Boost's advice, keeping it simple and removed Privatefirewall. The suggestion to add PandaCloud sounds good, I might do that later. I've been trying to figure out what to run with Sandboxie and Mamutu for a long time.

 

I'm trying this setup:
WIn 7 x 64
UAC=High
WIn 7 FW
Win Defender
Stormshield personal edition

Browser:
FF 8
Panda URL filtering
TACO http://abine.com/downloads.php
Adblock+
LastPass

 

Did you finally part ways with geswall.

 

Its just paranoia brain washing to make people a prisoner to security apps.Now whats in your wallet.We accept Pay Pal,Master card,Visa,American Express,Discover Card.

 

Sandboxie
Returnil Free (virtual mode always enabled)
MBAM
Keriver Free
Windows firewall
Mailwasher
LastPass

It's a bit controversial, but I'm trying going without an AV (is there any point if I'm always in virtual mode?). MBAM to scan downloaded stuff on-demand. That's it - for the moment.

 

Panda Cloud Pro
Sanboxie
Privatefirewall
WinPatrol Plus

 

Sandboxie PD.
MSE
XP firewall and router firewall
TF 2.0
See sig. for the rest.

 

No,just lookin at some security setups people are running

 

Boost anything about geswall 3 coming out? Anyone over there are gentle answer your email's?

 

Tell you the truth,I've never tried to email them,so I can't give you an honest answer.

 

Oh sorry got you confused with someone else. I might try emailing them again myself. Never got answer back about 8 months ago. Hope its not dead. Would be nice if the new company gave it a little fresh breath.

 

I have emailed them about two weeks ago and again a few days ago,I have not received any replies back.Not looking to good if you ask me.I hope geswall will continue and I have it currently on my sons netbook with ESS 5 and its working great.

Beyond trust purchased leakwall and hopefully if gentle does not continue with GW maybe BT will roll with it and further develope it.

 

Thats cool,Geswall is excellent hope to see around with updates.

 

Nice setup especially Sandboxie.

 

did some one tested Kaspersky PURE
safe run[sandbox]?

 

So strong a setup you don't need real-time monitoring on MBAM

 

The danger of infection is real, but even if one gets infected with a good image the whole thing can be resolved within minutes. The Internet isn't really so dangerous. For years now I've had hardly anything detected even when browsing websites notorious to be potentially dangerous.

Now if someone mentions flashdrives in a working environment, that is a different situation, in my experience at least 1 out 5 is infected (and badly infected, rootkits, virut types to name a few I encountered last week). In real dangerous situations a virtualizer and a couple of good scanners are necessary if one wants to keep the suspicious files.

 

Agree and I was joking,Dangers do exsist no doubt.I agree about the flash drives,file sharing seems to me more of a risk then general web surfing.I keep Hitman Pro and MBAM for that very reason and a image restore ready if something does get through.

 

yes, but some malwares are made to operate stealth-like.
you won't even know they're there until you check you bank account balance.

it's not like in the 'good old days' when virus makers let you know your machine was infected, and laughed at you in the process.

 

In this the newest version it is very similar to Sandboxie - the free version

 

I didn't mean to contradict you at all, actually what your are saying is true, paranoia is the driving force of the security business. I use Linux occasionally (I'm trying to learn!) and it is amazing how relaxed I am without any security, after a while you just don't think of it anymore. I like Windows a lot, but there is too much paranoia and delusion associated with it.
