What is your security setup these days?

Mine goes over the 100 MB mark, but maybe cause I use Geswall too.

I removed some stuff from my list. Yea I know haha its a shock.

 

With a line up list like these posted, malware has an incredible ladder to climb if they can eek past any of them at all.

 

-antivir personal edition classic

-sas
-windows defender
-avg antispyware

-zone alarm (free)

-firefox (+noscript)

 

My latest, and I'd like to say last setup for XP Pro sp2

SSM
Snoopfree
AVG antivirus

Asquared on demand run every couple of days
avg AS on demand run at least weekly
RKUnhooker

modem firewall
router firewall

browser MSIE 7 only because for some reason I have problems on this box with Firefox and Opera.

 

With all these shieldings the members here at Wilder's employ you have to know that malware writers can't possibly devise an offense that could penetrate thru all these.

Does this sound acurate to you guys?

 

im happy with my programs, i cant run programs like HIPS, because my pc has only 256 RAM

 

Real-Time Protection:

Prevx1
Online Armour beta 2 build 157
Regdefend Free

On-Demand Scanners:


SuperAntiSpyware 3.6 (?)
A2 Anti-Malware free ver 2.1 (i believe)
AVG 7.5 Anti-Malware (formely the beloved Ewido ver 4)

Virtualization Apps:

Sandboxie ver 2.79.1 beta
Shadowuser Pro 2.5 (quite usless for anything other than malware testing) but does an excellent job isolating system resources

Browsers:

IE7 FULL hurt me mode (though 90% run in a sandbox)


Imaging/Back-Up


Rolback RX 7.5 i would like to supplement this with something else, but after reading many post on Acronis & FD, i lack confidence in either. RX has bailed me out reliably on more than one occassion.


after months of testing ALOT of stuff, i feel pretty confident in this set-ups ability to keep me out of trouble in a lot of circumstances.

SAS is back in business: Issue resolved. Thanks Nick and fcutdat

 

geez Easter, I just installed 3.6 over 3.4 and it went off without a hitch. Did you email Nick?

 

Not quite. Run of the mill malware that isn't specifically targeted for you, sure (but that is quite a low bar). But if someone is out to get you that's another matter...
