What is your security setup these days?

Is it light on the system?

 

MD is always light on my systems

 

it would be so awesome to have a x64 build of MD. I wouldn't hesitate to install it on my System. I guess I would use it like Appguard (silent mode = locked down, learning mode = install mode etc...). Also MD gives detailed Information about whats going on on your Computer. Really nice program indeed and it's free.

 

no 64 bit version

 

Maybe a nice replacement for WinPatrol in my system...

 

for sure

 

MD has a similar Interface like Winpatrol however I am not sure if they can be compared in Terms of Intrusion prevention. Winpatrol Plus is supposed to have a realtime Intrusion protection but I have no experience with Winpatrol although I have a license for it. I know from MD that if you set it up to Silent Mode nothing will get past it, period!

 

I'm not sure if I've got the right set up so any feedback that anyone can give me will be much appreciated.


I'm using: Avast AV, Comodo FW and D+, EMET 3.0, Sandboxie (paid), Shadow Defender, Ad Muncher. MBAM and Hitman Pro free on demand.

I browse with Firefox using NoScript, Better Privacy, Key Scrambler and WOT. I also use Dragon and Opera without any add ons as I don't do anything sensitive in those browsers.

I did try AppGuard and did want it to work out but it just made my system really slow and streaming was a nightmare. I also felt that I maybe didn't need it.

Is there anything which is excessive or I might need to add? I do find my set up uses over 1.7 gb of ram which is a lot.

 

Already trying Malware Defender in learning mode.
It offers great control, i'm very impressed

Task Manager shows:

MalwareDefender.exe - 4.336K
mdservice - 1.052K

 

told ya

 

Ya, you get control over EVERYTHING.

 

Yeah... I think i'll leave it in learning mode for two or three days...

 

this hips with a good solid antivirus is more than enough

 

Still happily using XP SP/2.

I recently abandoned IE8 for Firefox 18, then updated to version 19 Beta with Adblock Plus, Flash Video Downloader, Translate This, and Keyscrambler.
FF almost always stays inside of Sandboxie and all downloads are sandboxed, then scanned with MBAM Pro. MBAM website blocker and fileshield stay on.
MBAR has also been installed.
I also added Trusteer Rapport for non-sandboxed banking.
It was a freebie from a financial institution I do business with. Can't beat that !

WinPatrol Plus remains and I use CCeaner and Glary Utilities freeware version 2.6.0.228 for cleaning. I also use Glary for it's Disk Analysis tool.
Comodo Time machine (version 2.6) remains and performs great for me.
I use both Macrium Free and Paragon B&R 10 free for imaging.

I'm still searching for the right e-mail provider.
AT&T/Yahoo sucks, GMail started out ok but now is becoming a PITA due to intrusive ads.
I want something free, clean, and reliable.

 

Back to kaspersky 2013...nice and solid protection.

 

Good choice.
If i could afford it, i would be using it too

 

Decided to add back realtime after much consideration.

Comodo's my choice.

 

Have now installed Comodo Firewall V6 (as per Chiron's guide) in Windows 8 Pro – using Sandboxie in preference to Comodo's Kiosk though. (can't see myself getting weaned off Sandboxie!)

 

I'm using what's in my sig. Considering adding MBAR. But MBAM is supposed to remove rootkits right? Why a separate app like MBAR needed?

 

did any one try Spyware Terminator 2012?

 

Have you checked Amazon? I've seen KIS discounted there in the past.

 

@jmonge
ST a disappointment. Not good.

 

Just a quick question guys....
Emsisoft Internet Security or ESET Smart Security v6?
Which would you rather have?

 

That's kind of a loaded question. It's also against forum policies to ask A vs B or in this case which do you like better.

 

oh, didn't know that. My apologies.
I'm just sooo undecided. They are completely different.
