What is your security setup these days?

for about more than 5 years that i finally install norton antivirus again and it is very fast

 

Uninstalled PCAV tested it against some malware in shadow mode, it did nothing

Trying Rising free AV now.

 

try twister antivirus it is very strong

 

i am waiting for winpatrol's new registry protection to test it

 

Avast 5 - File & Network Shields.
Immunet Protect - Monitor Application Start disabled.
Kees's Anti-Executable Registry Tweak.
HostsMan - MVPS & hpHosts (Ad and Tracking Servers) lists.
2Wire Router with Firewall.

Google Chrome 4 - Added Adthwart Extension.

Everything free, extremely light and easy to use.

Fuzzy

 

Gonna switch Panda IS 2010 for G Data

 

Testing AppGuard in my setup to see how I like it, most of all its performance...

 

raven add the cmd.exe to be protected

 

Good-Day ! Real-Time-Firewall Zone Alarm 9.1 Anti-Virus-Avast 5.0 Anti-Virus-Anti Malware-Prevx 3.0 and On Demand MBAM. O.S. Windows 7. Sincerely...Securon

 

With Privacy mode on?

 

My signature plus Prevx Safe Online

 

Damn, my bro is really ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ dumb.
Now he uninstalled G-Data.
I don't know what av he wants, i've installed like 8 AV'S and he uninstalls all.

 

so wait, he doesnt tell u or nothing, just uninstalls everything and goes? thats just messed

 

i have it on raven but not for the browser(no privacy mode)

 

Add password

 

Is your brother called "trjam"?

 

Have you tried Rising Antivirus or Panda Cloud?

 

Avast! works completely automatic...

 

Hehehe, now i installed Norton just to see what happens this time.
Yeah, he always uninstalls it with the same excuse every time, too much pop ups.

I've told him that the more you uninstall, the more pop ups will be showing since i just install another AV. (Remember every new software, means new rules)

 

Couple of minor changes,

Firewall:
Linksys Router
DefenseWall Personal Firewall 3.00 Beta 5

Anti-Virus:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 9.0.0.736 (a.b)
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.44

HIPS/IDS:
WinPatrol Plus 17.0.2010.0

Resident on Demand Scanners:
Mischel TrojanHunter 5.2 (987)
SUPERAntispyware 4.33.1000
Hitman Pro 3.5.4 Build 87
F Secure BlackLight 2.2.1092 Beta
Trend Micro Rootkit Buster 2.80.0.1077 Beta
RootAlyzer 0.3.4.47
Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2

 

Removed every security software yesterday.
I was online for 4-5 hours with windows firewall only .
No infections. Hoh my system is very fast now.
AVs are the only thing slowing down my pc .


Then i installed OA++ . Very fast, simple,no slowdowns .Only problem i had is with virus signature update .I uninstalled it today.

Now thinking what to add.(Now online just with windows firewall )

 

cool

Running Avast super light with no active shields, but Windows warns Avast when an attachement is executed see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1613167&postcount=2

Running Chromium with the anti executable trick (see for explanation https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1603237&postcount=1 )
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"1806"=dword:00000003

I changed the default high risk extensions, by adding all the extentions 7-zip handles (dont forget to put in the dot, so it is .ZIP and not ZIP), I discovered you have to include all the defaults as wel (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260). This post explains which registry you have to tweak http://smallvoid.com/article/ie-attachment-manager.html (scroll to inclusion lists).

Chromium runs with the --safer-plugins switch and the following extentions (on an old machine it is THE fastest loading browser by far)
- adsweep
- WOT
- no NO SCRIPT


When I want to install software, I switch to the Admin user. Only thing I some times have to do is move the program short link from the ADMIN menustart folder to the All Users menu start folder (allways jump with a parachute, so I have Paragon 10 free as image backup/restore of the Programs Partition and a seperate - off line external harddisk with Syncback SE free for Data partition backup/recovery )

Have not found any malware which was able to cut through this setup

This minimalist setup motto "never have so many bits been protected by so little security code"

I guess you could find some option in avast! to not display any pop-ups either... maybe silent mode? Then it's completely automatic with no pop-ups. If he uninstalls it then I guess he's retarded.

 

Its obvious as you don't have any AV there will be no scans on execution or accessing the files which requires some main memory
