What is your security setup these days?

just running ESET NOD32 Antivirus Standard 5 in interactive mode

 

How do you like pupups?

 

i put it in learning mode to learn the system first so for now zero pop ups

 

Smart decision.

 

to tell you my friend it is very smooth and i feel fast

My issue is sites breaking. Turning on and off a plugin or using temp permissions seems more practical at the moment. Open to suggestions

 

I see you have Bufferzone pro... how is it?

 

Removed OpenDNS and DNSCrypt. It kept dropping my connection, and I got tired of monkeying with it.
Back to Norton ConnectSafe, which needs no attention.

 

@KelvinW4
I've noticed some delay opening and navigating the browser. Also the learning curve takes time, so it may feel a bit sluggish (heavy). After using it for about a week, I've only had one problem with Keepass, but it seems to have resolved itself. Performance doesn't seem as bad now, but that could simply be that I've adjusted or grown accustom to it. I've got no complaint with bufferzone, but something about sandboxie still seems more appealing. Not sure why though.

@Page42
Ditto ... connection performance was less than desirable. I'm still looking for an alternative.

 

I wanna just use Bufferzone and NoVirusThanks Pro

 

Back to stable KIS 2012

 

IS bUFFERzONE pRO FREE?

 

Yes it is J.

 

Yep Its been free for a while. Bufferzone pro 4.0 is out. Don't know what kind of changes but seems to work for some folks.

 

thanks alot i may try it as it is free
Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.5 is good too

 

Quick question, how does Justin Beiber's wallpapers protect your PC? LOL

 

LOL they scare away malware

 

now running Sandboxie version 3.70

 

Welcome back, j

 

thanks man,now i want to combine it with AppGuard
and sandboxie has firewall like feature

 

Wow! Thats a great combo. How did you ever think of that!

 

just now my friend

 

I'm finding the trifecta consisting of Sandboxie - Emsisoft Anti-Malware - Comodo Firewall hard to beat...runs smooth, low drain on resources and no conflicts that I've been made aware of.

Very few alerts to speak of except during the occasional install or outbound connection.

Looks like I just may hold on to this one.

 

What happened to Private Firewall?

 

I'm still running it on my wife's computer as it lends itself to a very simple and effective setup of Sandboxie - PrivateFirewall - Shadow Defender. Strong protection with no daily updates to manage.

In my case, I had been running PF recently until I had a "whoops" moment after testing out Outpost Pro Firewall which gave me a few issues...so I restored from one of my recent images and now Comodo's back on. (I alternate on Macrium and Drive Snapshot)

PF is still a great firewall (and definitely my other "go-to"), but after numerous discussions with kjdemuth and kees via pm over the past couple of weeks I've decided to stick with Comodo for the time being.

That said, they each run very smoothly on this machine and I wouldn't lose any sleep using either.
