excellent thread, important to close/stealth as many ports as you can IMO
I think the key point goes back to their conclusion stating they are testing these AV's on pretty high end machines. The impact will vary by...
I haven't used a real time AV since I bought a laptop in 2004 that came with Norton which at the time was more intrusive and hogged more resources...
Good point. I've only done a full scan with mbam once and believe the scan time was still similar to CCE's and Emsisoft. Hitman pro again...
disagree with you here, only reason why I post is I see this type of comment everytime I visit this forum. MBAM, Hitman Pro, etc do not do a full...
Windows Firewall Control for XP?? I thought that was only for Windows 7??
he said he didn't something to load in memory and sit resident in RAM, AFAIK Bitdefender free does.
Do a custom install of Avast and select file shield only. Once installed change the scanning options to your liking (I like high heuristics, turn...
Most annoying security strategy I ever tried was noscript by far, second would be a noisy HIPS. The rest don't annoy me too much, some AV's bug...
XP Pro, LUA + SRP, netgear router, closed open ports and disabled exceptions in the firewall, chrome or firefox with adblock and web of trust...
why do you want to disable certain applications? why not just avoid installing stuff you don't want on your pc?
I used A-Squared since about 2005, and changed to emsisoft emergency kit when it came out. I haven't found a better scanner detection wise and I...
somewhat confusing post...who is "they" you keep referring to or that is complaining? IT security pro's? They go to school to do what they do,...
Perhaps on Wilders security forums. Corporate security professionals certainly don't get their knowledge from Norton advertisements.
point is, its less effective then HIPS or sandboxing or LUA/SRP despite those technologies.
I remember one of the latest AV comparatives showing real time protection of several AV's (Norton, Panda, Esset, MSE, Avast, etc) and Panda came...
use google
disable the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
This getting pretty trivial, in a million years I don't think one would notice a performance impact from the smartscreen filter built into IE....
Smartscreen filter has been a success and is easy to use....its effective for what is is. Anything can be bypassed, if you use IE there are no...
enable DEP for all programs, or try EMET, MBAM on demand, Hitman Pro on demand, LUA & SRP, Secunia PSI
anyone tried doing a custom install just to use this as an on demand scanner?
I had an ancient XP disk from like 2002, right after it came out. Of course, this version didn't include SP2 and the firewall, a couple times...
Triple Helix perhaps you can straighten this out for me. I've read on a few websites that you shouldn't defrag SSD's, and a lot of people...
no offense, but you may be too paranoid to have the internet, even using linux your ISP is still going to see everything and ISP logs have been...
Separate names with a comma.
