What is your security setup these days?

I ran it with MBAM-Pro and worked very well.

 

nice

 

With WSA Essentials all you will really need is windows firewall for inbound protection...

 

Loving WSA AV. I was looking for something to take the place of PCAV. Thankfully I found a 4 month trial. Hoping that they continue and improve on it.

 

comodo firewall
avira 12 free
malwarebytes free


is this a strong setup?

 

yep. Might want to add a backup. Keriver 1 click has a free version. Also add sandboxie free. You can always just sandbox your browsers. It looks like your trying to stay on the free side. Wouldn't hurt to add a secure DNS like comodo or norton. Either are good.

 

im new to all this whats a dns

 

Domain name server or system. Its basically a naming system. Instead of typing in 178.182.1.3 you get a www address. Check out this FAQ from norton DNS. https://dns.norton.com/dnsweb/faq.do
It shows you how to add norton DNS. You can also install comodo DNS. Like I said either is good. One might be faster than the other. For me norton DNS seems a little faster than comodo. Others might have a different experiance.

 

thanks for the reply,how much am i looking to spend?

 

All those things I mentioned were free.

I sure did....... ..

anyways, how do you KPD?.......did it catch anything for you(anti-malware module)?......

 

@LoneWolf
awesome setup as always ........if I remember correctly, you used have keyscrambler premium....what happened?........

 

as kjdemuth already mentioned, norton dns, sandboxie and keriver 1-click restore.....in addition to that, hitman pro+secunia psi and set windows update to automatic(if you use windows of course ...)

 

webroot secureanywhere
win xp firewall
secunia psi
keriver 1-click restore


light effective and very fast

 

Returned back to BD av plus + OPW pro 7.5.2 RC combination, got it working okay this time. Very impressed about BD, it really is awesome software, light on memory, fast and what is more important; it's very effective.
Running these programs along with kaspersky password manager and ad muncher.

Previously I had zemana antilogger installed with KIS 2012, what do you say guys should I install it once more with my new setup?
I don't personally think that I need to, 'cause I feel very secure and kaspersky PM keeps my passwords etc. secured. But I still love zemana, it's very good program fighting against keyloggers!

 

yeah go ahead and use zemana

 

Added VoodooShield. Kinda overkill. WSA was a little lighter than PCAV that I didn't think adding VS would bog things down. So far so good. Pretty sure I could ditch WSA and just run Comodo firewall, sandboxe and VS. WSA is light enough that I don't need to worry.

 

I use KPD in realtime. Well I haven't done much testing but it did catch a few things when I did a small test. I just use it as a backup to EAM and its pretty light for me. And do light the optimizer part of the software as well

 

on my home pc i have avg free, spybot S&D and windows firewall
on my laptop i run avast free, spybot S&D, antimalwarebytes (on demand) and windows firewall

everything runs smoothly on both machine

Watch out for the Voodoo Shield...it may jinx the Bruins in the first round!
