The NAT router, Win 7 firewall, and Avast sound good. I thought Sandboxie really doesn't work properly with 64-bit Windows? Has that been...
I know I'm replying to this late, but I feel it's important enough that I keep repeating it whenever I can: You really don't want to run as...
I agree. Microsoft is one giant planet-sized vulnerability. On the other hand, it would be very lonely here at Wilders without Microsoft and...
I tried KIS 2010 and had problems with it. I guess it's just junk and I should stick with ESS. Oh, wait, davhag64 says NOD32 is junk, so I better...
I use MBAM and it only blocks an IP once in a while for me. Perhaps you need to re-evaluate your usage of the Internet if you're trying to access...
I looked into Sandboxie and decided it wasn't worthwhile since it doesn't fully sandbox things with a 64-bit OS.
Eset by itself is not enough. I feel you need to run something like either MBAM or SAS in realtime too. (I prefer MBAM because I'm using Win 7 x64...
The only way to guarantee that a backup cannot be infected is for it to be completely offline and static.
IF OA blocks me from having write access to the hosts file, then I would expect there to be a mechanism for allowing me to have write access when...
How about the PC Tools FW and Threatfire? The PC Tools FW seems to be quite light on resources, and the UI is decent. It's also free....
Even a "hardware" firewall runs software. :) A better way of putting it might be that what is best is a dedicated firewall that is separate...
What needs to be improved in terms of x64 support?
I thought that MS was encouraging vendors to put alerts above the tray? Most of the software I've been using in recent times puts alerts there.
I didn't compare a netbook and a P 133, nor was I suggesting that a full desktop environment like Gnome or KDE was suitable for use on a P 133. I...
As for the OP who wants some advice on security software, I would also recommend using the stock Windows firewall. You're not going to get any...
So who says you have to run KDE or Gnome? :) BTW, I'm runnning the latest Ubuntu netbook remix on a Dell Mini 9, and it's not sluggish. I'm...
What really matters is whether or not an attacker can exploit a port, not whether or not it is visible. I don't see that the GRC Shieldsup test...
I've always thought it was a good idea to support the people that are helping to protect my computer from malware. Also, by paying for my AV...
I find this type of test useful in some ways. The only problem with them that I really see is that some people will use them as their only metric...
I recently moved to Win 7 64-bit, and installed the 64-bit version of NOD32. NOD32 worked just fine. There are other things that may not work...
At the time I was only using NOD32. No, I did not. I was rather rushed at the time and simply relied on NOD32 to protect me. I'm going to...
That's fine, but NOD32 didn't protect me without MBAM, so I'm not sure I have anything to lose by using them both real-time at once. I suppose...
So what are we supposed to do, given that products like MBAM and SAS offer protection against things that NOD32 doesn't (or doesn't do very well...
I used Comodo for a long time, but I'm not sure I want to install it on new computers in the future. There was that problem where upgrades...
I just installed Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit on a computer, and also had NOD32 4.2 installed. NOD32 complained that a couple of it's features were...
