could it be a major virus

 

Could it be hardware failure?

 

i dont know it just recently started

 

Outpost Security Suite Pro 8.0

 

Change to Webroot SecureAnywhere and Sanboxie

 

newbie here

Can somebody comment on my setup

gdata internet sec
mbam on demand
spyshelter
sandboxie
keyscrambler free
privatefirewall

goodsync for backup

How is that for peace of mind?

 

My personal approach would be:

1) drop SpyShelter
2) turn off FW in GData IS

 

Privatefirewall is a great FW with HIPS. GData has good AV. I would use GData complete and uninstall Privatefirewall or as Siketa said disable GData's firewall and use Privatefirewall.

 

Removed SD and added CFW 5.10.Imaging on External hard disk soon...

 

Trying F Secure...its been a while: seems light and smooth.

 

already turned FW of gdata off.

if I drop spyshelter what will I use for anti-keylogging?
I actually would like an excuse to remove it as it plays up with firefox and flash plugin. Always stoppping flash from "setting hook to monitor network request" as it says in the logs.

 

Is gdata firewall better than private firewall?

to me it seems to have less flex than PF, but seems simpler. Does gdata FW have HIPS?

 

Just installed cis v6 and running really smooth so far.

 

Forticlient is one of the best Free Suites out there
Light , and has a few basic tools such as Parental Control Firewall
Vulnerability Control and Remote Access sort of VPN control or something ..
Overall it is very nice for free
Quick Scan took only a couple of minutes

 

You can drop SS and Keyscrambler.
Use Zemana Antilogger Free instead for encryption of keystrokes.
I think PF can recognize keyloggers.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Removed Webroot SA AV and replaced it with Nod32 AV.

 

Giving Comodo v6 a whirl. So far so good.

 

Any reason? I just switched from Avast Free to Webroot SA AV
