Hardened and Tweaked with Returnil HIPS version 2.1.0.5829. Once you got your system how you want it, you can configure the HIPS to stop many things with the use of white list & black list, plus a few extra settings like forbid any programs excluded the white list, deny all if no rules exist.....etc....even has a load driver protection feature, file and folder protection too, not bad

 

Returnil HIPS...is that new?

The only Returnil I know is virtualization.

 

It's both all in one. Check your pm.

 

I think you'll come to find RETURNIL ther best of the best in instant virtualization as well as pure shadowing at start up and there after.

It is a dream come true IMO. Very well thought out program indeed and stable as can be at least on XP systems, plus is ridiculously easy & simple to use, nothing in it's settings leave a user to grumble in the dark, everything is simple as peach pie and protection is very strong.

Yeah I got Bening for free too

 

Well, today i switched Hard Drives again with XP Pro SP2 and this is what's cooking for defense.

I have to mention i had a devil of time getting SunRun to finally settle down and run right, it does things in it's configuration settings that darken my screen and freezes it up before i can OK it with EQS, takes a reset to straighten it all out.

Comodo D+ with SuRun & EQS 3.41 (Alcyon's RuleSets) along with Returnil & SandboxIE. I use SecureIT Pro (free) to lock out my screen from local intruders like ants and other insects.

No one would want to monkey with my units the way i keep them wired. LOL

It would be a task even for a seasoned professional, i also lock my USB Ports with a Batch File. The CD Tray is wide open so i suppose they could try that if they were after my Wilder's Defense Department Documents. LoL

 

XP Pro SP2
Online Armor Free
GesWall 2.7.1 (freeware)
Sandboxie 3.25.13 free (currently not in use)
Avira AntiVir Premium
Firefox 3 b5 w/ Noscript



Was running Sandboxie for the past month but got tired of having to recover downloaded files all the time. Now giving GesWall another try and I like it.

Wow, I just realized GesWall Professional is about $50 CAD.. and that's WITH the discount.

 

Its very easy to recover automatically files from Sandboxie. You just need to go to Sandbox settings, resource access, file access, direct access or full access and set what programs can access the download location directly. Full access is for programs installed inside Sandboxie.

 

New test combo:
Avast Pro 4.8
Threatfire
Look´n`Stop
Sandboxie
Admuncher
Keyscrambler

System runs like a horse at a hippodrome...

 

Avira, till the day I die
Sandboxie
EAZ-FIX

 

Thank you. I just might have to switch back to SandboxIE afterall.

I suppose that as long as there isn't any important files in there, then this should not be a security risk? It's just a downloads folder.
