What is your security setup these days?

Looks real good.

 

Thanks !!!

 

done with DW and back to SBIE.

 

Any specific reasons.

 

I was having trouble with Chrome, Chromium and Iron. DW was keeping them as untrusted and running even after they were closed so I had to always terminate them. Plus my hard drive was crunching away running those browsers for some reason and CPU was running high.

 

i am very simple right now

 

Windows 7 64-bit

Online Armor Free - Firewall Disabled, Program Guard only. Just using the firewall built into my router.
Chromium v18 - Set to RunSafer in OA.
Keriver 1-Click Restore Free - Incremental backups every day

I love this setup.
It's free, light and offers great protection providing you know how to deal with OA's popups.
I've been looking at using a HIPS-only setup for a while now but couldn't find a HIPS that was easy to use and had a large built-in whitelist (other than comodo of course).
I've tried OA before but it slowed my computer's boot time to a crawl, both on my 32-bit windows XP machine and my 64-bit windows 7 machine (with completely different hardware), but it has been fixed and now it's great.

 

Simliar experience with IE9 and browser was very slow to open and had to force terminate after closing it.I would have reported it, but just thought it was my system .Thanks

nice setup as usual L

 

LOL sloppiness. I had to laugh at that ams963 You have a way with words my friend...

 

Now testing Online Armor. I'm leaning towards this over EAM.

 

...

 

Added Online Armor for only 8 dollars.

 

LOL welcome to the club

 

but why not eam ? ........

 

I dont believe I need it and with a recent trial with EAM,I found it slowed my browsing more then expected..I dont find that to be the case with OA.I do use MBAM OD and Hitman Pro.

 

Hips is more protective than an AM
Good Choice Djohn

a quick question Do you trust a Security suite ? i'm thinking to Change from layered to suit permanently " easier to use

 

Seems to use between 40-100meg on my Win7-64bit machine. It's a nice program, but kind of flabby.

 

very true

 

sloppy browsing eh.......then oa is good choice.....

don't like the flab but the fab......gonna wait till eam sheds some baby fat.....

 

Thanks friend.I think suites is a easy all in one solution,the thing that worrys about them is are they weak in certain areas.Example a strong AntiVirus but weak firewall or vice versa.look at comodo for example strong hips and firewall but AntiVirus is not really top tier IMO.Some suite are more evenly made, strong Antivirus and Firewall,But all in all I believe in layered.My way of thinking if some piece of malware By passes 1 layer perhaps the second layer will kill it off.On the other hand if a suite is by passed or disabled some how and there is no other layer,Game over.
