What is your security setup these days?

switched to prevx v3(not webroot) and defensewall.more than enough with solid protection.
oh yeah, incredible light too!

 

is it me, or does anyone else find the detection ability of WSA, weak. I mean real weak. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

 

Added SuRun 1.2.1. Also have been using Sandboxie and Private Firewall.

 

I've found it pretty good at finding false positives. I have had a good half dozen in a few months. All in all though detections have seemed very solid though. I just go with the recommended settings.

 

Back (again!) to my (i guess i could really say it ) favorite setup.

Testing SeaMonkey (Whatta name) w/ghostery & NoScript --> Searching For snappier Broswer Speed

 

Easter,

Seamonkey, aka Mozilla Suite, aka Allizom (community nickname), aka Netscape Communicator reborn... Lost its name when Mozilla Corp decided to focus on Firefox and wanted no confusion over naming, so an alternative had to be found for the Suite.

XP PRO SP3, DropMyRights, Avast 6, MalwareBytesPro, WinPatrol, OutPost Firewall 2009 Free

 

Simplified and improved Safe-Admin, based on OS(Win7 x32 ultimate) build-in protection.


----------- from network stack to process stack ------------------
Use Norton DNS through Router and Windows FW both for inbound and outbound
Set a deny execute on receiving folders of browser, e-mail and media player using Access Control Lists (right click folder, use tab security)


----------- from Low Rights (Protected mode) to Medium Rights (LUA) ---------------------
Using Chromium with its internal (low rights) sandbox plus added an extra policy box around Chromium by giving Low rights mandatory label to flash and pdf dll of chrome with ICACLS (the plug-ins are the weak spots IMO).


----------- Medium (LUA) rights to High (Admin) Rights --------------------
Threat Gates captured in Medium Rights:
- Added a Mandatory Medium level to mail and media player with ICACLS
- Chrome folder is outside safe location (UAC elevate from safe places only). Users have Read plus Execute ACL/Admins Full minus Execute ACL.

User space protection (all folders which Limited User has full access)
Set Default level of SRP to basic user. On windows 7, this basic user default effectively is a deny execute outside windows and program files on Windows 7 for users (Medium Level Integrity Level = old fashioned Limited User). With right click "Run as Admin", I can install EXE + MSI now from user space (using Symantec's registry tweak to run MSI as Admin).

Admin space protection (the UAC/SRP "safe places" = Windows and Program File)
UAC deny elevate of unsigned programs from "safe places", GPO deny Users to install unsigned drivers and deny install from removable media.
Lots of GPO hardening (e.g. UAC run all admins in admin approval mode and disable intelligent installer recognition)


----------- Real Time protection ---------------------------------
Using Microsoft's EMET 2.1 Buffer/memory overflow protection (Office, Foxit PDF, and internet facing like e-mail, mediaplayer and browser).
Browsing with Chromium "in private mode", no third party cookies using Google's safe browsing/download Website reputation check. For additional privacy I use Startpage as searchpage and AddBlockPlus extension. For additional web reputation I have added Link-Extend extension.

----------- On Demand ---------------------------------
Image backup (Win7)/Data backup (Ms Sync Toy) to Network Storage and HitmanPro Free scan

 

back to Ikarus

 

Thanks.Now that i've seen your sig,you opened my "appetite" to try OA again.I'm going to install it with Avast free.

 

joe dont forget to run ur browser safer

 

Not good with SBIE?Or i should try without it and run the browsers safer with OA?

 

too much protection man
with online armor runsafer is very strong and a plus you have a strong firewall also

 

Still rocking just Panda cloud on my two most active used machines, I have an old third desktop that I need to work on but it is barely used anymore so I have not done much to it.

I am thinking about bringing back a side kick of the product. I am debating between Webroot SA or Windows Defender for all the machines. I thought about bringing back KS PC Doc but it slows the boot down to much.

 

These days I'm running Sandboxie and EAM. MBAM Pro is on demand with scheduled scans.

 

Removed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO as I'm feeling secure enough with WSA. Also, I'm trying to get my system running as lightly as possible. I may add MBAM back as an on-demand scanner at some point.

 

oookaaay......installing....after almost 30 min of scanning all the files (i remember when OA was TallEmu,the install scan was lightning faster-about 10 min top)...my "apetitte" is gone now,i'm going to "prepare" myself another "security meal"...

 

but after it is fast trust me

 

Great!

 

I trust your word,but unfortunately i couldn't verify myself as OA lock down my browsers (Chrome and FF) when i tried to open them AND the PC with them.Had to force reboot twice.I have to mention that SBIE was present on my system and both browsers were sandboxed.SBIE was added on OA exclusions list.

 

Maybe some incompatibilities still with them like the past always were.
