What is your security setup these days?

HaHaHa, dude you crack me up

A for me, C for my son

 

Going to add Norton Dns to my setup. Btw what's Comodo's DNS settings?

 

On my wife's laptop,still PCAV Pro,Comodo FW D+ and SBIE.
On mine,switched to CIS full suite,Spyshelter free and SBIE.(yes,i know,SS it's a HIPS,but what the heck,they're getting along too sweet to not let them together. )

 

8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20

 

back to Eset

 

After getting tired of testing so many various AV's, etc., I am settling upon the following that I am using now:

Avira Premium 2012, Private Firewall 7.0271 with Process detection set to medium, and Spywareblaster for a simple but pretty good spyware bandaid.

Simple but effective, without over doing it. I DO like CIS though, but I am waiting to try their version 6 when it is released. Otherwise, current setup is fine for me.

 

Eset has never let me down.

Recommended (in case the beta is down):
8.26.56.26 (new beta)
156.154.70.22 (old DNS)

 

Online Armor Internet Security Pack
It seems really light on my system and the internet navigation is a lot better than what i had before

 

Didn't like the Panda experience?

 

Wow trjam, that was pretty quick...

 

How long did it last this time?

 

One day.

 

Avira can't be far off!

 

just be safe in in the internet trafic and dont download nothing from the net

 

Could Toolwiz Time Freeze be an (free) alternative replacement for Shadow Defender?
Does anyone of you used Toolwiz Time Freeze and what do you think about it?

 

I've used it a few times, never had any problems with it. I prefer using Sandboxie, though, for isolation.

 

I just removed Online Armor from the last machine I had it on.
Now running Comodo FW D+ on a couple W7 boxes and one XP box.

 

Malware Defender 2.8.0.0001 (Silent Mode)
HitmanPro 3.6.1 Build 164

 

It depends what you expect...there is the thread about TTF where you can find some opinion, suggestions...but decision belong to you

I use and test it for some time and I really liked.
I see a lot of you use the Shadow defender who is not free, and I think the Time Freeze excellent free program that is a good alternative to paid programs like Shadow Defender.
I use it occasionally when testing a program or something similar ...

Thanks for the Time Freeze forum link ...

 

Another good one ... and a free program SysRestore.
Similar to Comodo Time Machine ...

Although HitmanPro recognizes something of that program as Master Boot Record (sector 0) - Bootkit think it's false positives.

 

I reinstalled my OS and made few changes, that I've been wanting to do for long time:

1. Running under Standard User Account with UAC set to max.

2. Real-time security software:
■ Sandboxie
■ EMET
■ OpenDNS
■ Adblock Plus

3. Software run on-demand only:
■ HitmanPro
■ Emsisoft Emergency Kit
■ Acronis True Image
■ KeePass
■ TrueCrypt
■ Secunia PSI

The system is really responsive and I still feel quite safe. It's nice to see that there's only 28 processes running when idle.

 

"Only" 28?! Goodness gracious! I would feel horrified to see that many things running. lol.

11 in idle here. 5 more when Sandboxie is running (4 Sandboxie services plus that program).

On XP with low specs, granted.

 

On Windows 7, on clean install, there are more than 30 running, so 28 (25 if I don't count Sandboxie and Launchy) is not that much for this system.
Although number of processes is not the only indicator of system responsiveness.

 

Are you sure you are viewing processes from "all users"?
