What is your security setup these days?

I have disabled all the autotrust features, deleted OA's default whitelist, and built my own whitelist. I didn't get popups sometimes and some new processes are added automatically in my rules and labelled as trusted.

Nah, I've been determined to not using AVs. No matter what the AV is, in the end I'll have to uninstall it due to certain problems that I can't tolerate. Even MSE froze and crashed Windows explorer. I admit that I haven't tried WSA myself, but I don't think any AVs in this world will fill my paranoid needs well enough. I love to fooling around so my security risk is higher than most people.

 

After giving different anti/virus programs a spin,Gdata,F-Secure and Kaspersky av I decided to stick w/ Emsisoft Security Pack...There's two many pluses to mention here but w/ this security program you can't go wrong in my opinion...

 

You should at least try it, it's a great program. Would it make a difference if I told you it's not really an AV? It's not an AV, it's something else.

Okay maybe that's not true, but really it doesn't feel like other AV's I've used and there haven't been the usual AV problems. There's even free 6 months being offered, so you could give it a good workout.

 

RocketMan and FleischmannTV, if I keep this setup I'm going to have to change my name to morethanenough or muchtoomuch or enough2messupanymalware. So far I'm impressed that WSA and EAM are getting along. Somebody knows what they are doing.

 

Well, I've tried other AVs before and now I'm kind of too tired to expect anything better to happen. I agree that WSA seems to be great, but my computer is so picky and it usually will not going to change.

But it's still blacklisting, yes?

People say MSE is the most troublefree AV, but it crashed Windows explorer on me. People say Norton is light, but it felt heavy to me. And as I said earlier, no AV will satisfy my paranoid requirements. Not because of the quality of the products, but because of their nature. AVs will work well enough for most people, but not for my needs.

 

I have auto mode enabled as well, I use ERP for my zero-day protection... I can always enable policy based mode if I feel like I need it but never do.

 

I am on win 7 but I don't use OP as my firewall...v7 of ESET

 

Totally understand, I've run for months at a time without any AV because of similar experiences. But if you get curious enough to try it, here's the link to where the free 6 months of WSA is offered: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=354285

 

@PIInfinity & justenough

Well, thanks for the link anyway.

 

I missed that π∞ already gave you the link, didn't mean to pile on.

 

Did i every say that i use HMP as an On Demand scanner?

 

hitmanpro

 

HitmanPro is just superb.

 

Oh you'll find the all new generation of WSA 2014 exciting, light and fast that will amaze you in many ways. You can find a 6 months trial here. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=354285

Don't forget to tell us how it went.

 

Had to revert back to an avast image as CIS still has the cpu spiking issue,
It spikes to around 30% on a regular basis and i believe its the comodo av causing this.

 

Just added EMET 3.0 into the mix,seems to be playing very nice after watching a few videos on how to set it up,tried 4.0 but it didnt sit to well with my system. I probably didnt know what i was doing to be quite honest as it was a bit late

 

How are doing Securon? Feel any flame of conflict?

 

Just give it a try. The installer is about 750KB and installs in a couple of minutes. It even configures itself according to your particular system configuration. It will not interfere with your work. It's the fastest, lightest and most efficient security solution. If you've given up hope on AVs, you'd surely find WSA an exception.

 

Good Morning! PIInfinity...everything is everything...no flame...no fire's to extinguish...Lol! Thank's for Asking! Sincerely...Securon

 

The same for one my laptopie. It lags with CIS 6.1 and later however i tried to fix it. It goes smooth with Avast free and EMET 4.0.

 

Perfect program except for the constant cpu spiking.
This is the 3rd attempt with the full suite but the comodo av is a bit heavy.

 

comodo is a nice antivirus with hips but it lags system and also where is the feature called active processes?

 

do you mean the KillSwitch button?

 

it was called activeprocesess they changed it's name

 

by the way thank you for the info and sreenshot
