What is your security setup these days?

I'm also using what's in my sig

HQsec

 

same here

 

added Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO 1.75

 

XP Pro SP3 32-bit
Realtime : Malware Defender + EMET + HMP Alert
On Demand : HMP + Shadow Defender

 

The more I use my Online Armor + Avast + EMET free setup the more I like it. It's light and highly usable.

 

Solarlynx
are you using avast free?and online armour free?
I want to see MbamPro with Online Armour Free

 

Avast Pro + Comodo FW BB and Hips on .. my new setup

 

jmonge, I used MBAM Pro, Avast free and Online Armour free for about 2 years with absolutely no problems. I changed to Windows firewall because I figured using Online Armour with a router firewall was a bit of overkill. Plus was too chatty for the girlfriend.

Good Morning! Digmor! Been snowbound here in Northern Ontario...minus 30 below...with winds at 15mph...makes it feel like minus 38...so haven't made it out to the beach...all week...LOL! Using Kaspersky I.S.2014 and Wsa Security Plus...more secure than any Olympic Venue...Lol! Sincerely...Securon

 

Happy to see you're satisfied with Kaspersky; they're much better programmers than given credit for.

 

Good Morning! So far...it hasn't left me out in the Cold! Sincerely...Securon

 

Since I am on Windows 8.1 I am using built in Windows Defender, SmartScreen filter and UAC set to max.
Ocassionally I run HMP just to be sure

 

Windows 7 Ultmate 32 bits with Windows FW 2-way behind Router and a NAS as backup

Execution control & intrusion mitigation
- Deny elevation/installation of unsigned programs/drivers (UAC/GPO)
- Deny execute outside UAC protected folders for basic users (SRP)
- Disabled riskware services (MMC) and hardened setup (GPO)
- Secured 'scripting' programs (SRP/GPO-templates/EMET)

Internet Explorer security & hardening
- Filter pages with IE's smartscreen and AVG Linkscanner 2014
- Run IE11 as limited user with DIY privilege / ACL / parential control
- Run IE11 tab/renderer processes and Adobe plug-ins in protected mode
- Disable download/execution of programs from internet (switch 1806 on/off)

 

Stay warm! KIS and WSA should keep all of the bad guys out!

 

I need a Kaspersky antivirus licence

 

Am now considering chaining VPN's via pfsense per recommendation and instructions from a member in here and moving away from Windows after XP's EOL. It looks like a very convenient way to deploy it after glancing one-over the tutorial. It will depend on just how anal I am about privacy, because I feel that post XP that is a lost cause with Windows OS's.

I also had Debian run by me as the OS. I wonder what learning curve would come along with that though.

My cup is completely empty right now. I might set up a privacy/anonymity conscious laptop and use a Windows desktop for normal use. Have a few months to ponder many possibilities.

 

On my new laptop.. Windows 8 FW - Eset AV 7 - Private Tunnel

Loving Eset, no bugs, hang ups or slow downs.

 

I may install nod32 again it is super light they said

 

This was my setup in April 2005 (I had just joined Wilders):
ShadowUser
NOD32
LNS
ProcessGuard full
RegDefend
Opera

My current setup in January 2014:
Shadow Defender
Avira Antivirus Suite
Windows Firewall
Sandboxie
Chrome
It's basically the same setup, different actors except for Sandboxie which allowed me to do away with HIPS. It is also interesting to note that ShadowUser, LNS, ProcessGuard, and RegDefend are all abandoned software, only NOD is still alive and well. When people state AVs are becoming redundant, it doesn't look that way at all, if anything the opposite is true.

 

hitman pro on demand finds that i have riskware

its the only scanner that detects the riskware

is there any free online program that i can get off this riskware off for good?
