What is your security setup these days?

very scary

 

Good one Page42, and the answer is yes, though I was going to come back anyway after sorting out some Sandboxie issues. They've been resolved and everything is purring along nicely now.

 

I may have to look into AppGuard.
I'm sure you feel it is essential.
Maybe I'm missing something.

 

Just cruising with Webroot Security.

 

Good Evening! Re-Installed G-Data I.S.2014...Like the idea...of having an actual Firewall...in the suite...also G-Data is as light as Avira...hard to believe...but true...in tandem with WSA Security Plus...no conflicts...living in the moment...it's okay! Sincerely...Securon

 

Not entered to the signature footnotes just yet (still testing) but....

ADDED: Comodo 5.12 Product Version .256249.2599

Sandbox Security Level (Enabled)
Defense+ Security Level (Paranoid Mode)
Firewall Security Level (Custom Policy)

In Computer Security Policy under "Protected Registry Keys" added new rule preventing renaming keys and assorted new ways to lock down the registry tight.

Many more granular intersections to fine tune for absolute shielding.

 

I may try comodo again is it safe to run the firewall alone and nothing else?

 

I would not trust one layer of security.

 

I'm not qualified to call it essential, having started using AppGuard recently with the 4.0 Beta, and now the released 4.0.17, but it has a good reputation here at Wilders and so far seems to make a good extra layer.

pegr put together a short tutorial for new users that helped me get my bearings:

TY for the link, je.
I see AppGuard listed here by tzuk as a known conflict.
I didn't read the referenced forum thread, but plan to.
I see that more than a few Wilders members are using AG and SBIE, so the conflict must not be major.
I like that it's okay to run AG with AV software.
But of course there is always the "attack surfaces" crowd who will decry the addition of yet one more security program.
AG does look promising, I must admit.
Thanks again.

 

I think the 'known conflict' might be out-of-date, there are new versions of both programs. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2299732&postcount=50 and in the AG 'guarded tab' mentioned there set SB to read/write. They are running fine together on my computer. edit: Sandboxie 4.07.01 64bit and AppGuard 4.0.17.0

Peter2150 had some suggestions about using AppGuard to protect from CryptoLocker: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2301202&postcount=131

 

Windows 7 Ultmate 32 bits (E5200 dual core at 3 GHZ with 2GB Ram and SSD + 2xHDD + NAS & WL Router)

Execution control
- Deny execute in USB/mail (GPO/ACL) and download (1806-trick)
- Deny execute of all file types for Basic Users in user folders (SRP)
- Deny elevation/installation of unsigned exectables & drivers (UAC)

Intrusion mitigation
- Windows FW to filter in- and outbound & disabled 60 risk-ware services (MMC & GPO)
- Contain (SRP), protect (UAC), virtualise (RunAsInvoker) and lock (GPO) vulnarable programs
- Locked all sysinternals current user autoruns (ACL & GPO), added memory overflow protection (EMET)

Safe-Hex habits
- Web filtering through startpage search, IE's smart screen & Norton DNS
- Download from trusted sources and check at Virus Total before installation
- MSRT & HitmanPro scan before and after Microsoft's monthly patch tuesday

Admin elevation requires credentials, elevation for Sysinternals, CCleaner, HitmanPro & WifiGuard bypassed with 'elevated' task

 

Good evening Wilders Security members. As a long time reader of this excellent forum iv finally decided to participate.

Been using this setup for a long time now, its trouble free, lean and very effective.

Looking forward to Voodooshield version 2

 

Welcome to forums. Nice that you decided to contribute to forum also.

Your setup looks great. It's nice, light and balanced. Most areas are covered. I would only suggest to use some software to backup your system (if you're not using anything already).

 

Thank you, I regularly backup with Active@disk Image to another drive, never an issue and very reliable restores.

 

added Comodo Firewall

 

Good Evening! ESET 7.0 S.S. WSA Security Plus...just added Spyshelter Premium. Sincerely...Securon

 

added comodo direwall with sandbox enable and my browser run sandbox

 

I was using Qihoo for about 3 weeks then I reverted back to Emsisoft Internet Security. UAC is set to default on Windows 8.1. My browser configurations are in my signature. I tried K-9 Web Protection but it bogs down Youtube videos periodicity. Right now I'm content with this setup but I'm always have an inclination to change it at anytime.

 

Just relied on WSA, Panda Cloud, and Malwarebyte (real time)

 

......oh and by the way, Qihoo 360 + Shadow Defender + Sandboxie are On-Demands while 5.12 Comodo FW + Registry Alert + FileChangeAlarm are Real-Time with TinyWatcher pulling start up duty reviews.

EASTER

 

Using comodo internet security 6.3.

 

using comodo firewall as well with sandbox enable

 

I couldn't agree more jmonge, and it's especially useful to engage "run isolated" for my testings. So far nothing can punch through that here.

 

Downgraded form 64 bit to 32 bit and replaced Nod32 with Malware Defender. Welcome back my old friend
