What is your security setup these days?

Added K9 Web Filtering to my arsenal.

 

whats k9?

 

avira free
comodo free
hitman pro free
malwarebytes free


I had a quick question can I run comodo free antivirus with avira free?

 

that was a nice bit of info

 

Better not.
But you could make it 2nd opinion on-demand scanner by disabling its real-time AV.

Just google for K9 Web Protection...

 

im looking for the lightest free firewall can anyone help im running windows 8

 

hows avast running for u

 

back to Eset.

 

Windows Firewall

 

Great!
No problems in years...light and effective.

 

Windows 7 x64 Firewall in default mode and UAC set to Always Notify

Avast 8 Free

Malwarebytes free (update and run 2 or 3 full scans a week)

Have image of a fresh O/S installation with essential programs and drivers and routinely back-up needed data files.

Chrome with AdblockPlus, BitDefender's TafficLight, FlashBlock, VTchromizer (use to check iffy links before clicking on them), and WOT and use Chrome's native flash and pdf reader.

I run scans with TrendMicro's Housecall or Emsisoft Emergency Kit or Microsoft Safety Scanner or Avira/Kaspersky/Bitdefender rescue disk once a month or so.

Is this okay for a cautious internet user?

 

Still running the same config (in my sig below), very happy with it

 

Free resident in RAM K9 Web Protection Administration .

 

will windows 8 firewall work running a hotspot on my cell phone??

 

New config: WSA AV + HMP + OpenDNS

 

It's this the maximum settings for Webroot (picture)?

Back to WSA.

 

Is there any way to disable post-detection removal window?
This annoys me like Avira.

 

I removed DefenceWall PF - it's a bit boring when there are no cool tweaks, though its booletproof.

I installed Comodo Firewall with HIPS in "Clean PC" and FW in "Custom". PC boots seemingly the same quickly. The only issue is that sandboxed browsers freeze. They were OK with DWPF.

 

Good Afternoon! Djigi...those are maximum settings! Just a word of caution...set at max...in the past I've experienced a couple of False Positives...that Webroot promptly took care of. They have a superb Customer Focused Support and Customer Service ethic. Sincerely...Securon

 

Same setup (see my sig) for the last 6 months.
Still very happy (light and effective)

...and no....I'm not planning to change it.

 

6 months? Man, from looking at this thread, that has to be some sort of record around here...

 

He he,nice...trjamitis and Securonitis is on full force here but it seems that I found a nice package for myself.

 

Microsoft security essentials and comodo firewall/Defence+.
Seems a solid enough combo.

 

Just curious, did something specific happen with Avira, or did you just decide to make a change?
