What is your security setup these days?

Bluepoint Security

 

removed: Neo's Safekey

added: KeyScrambler Free

 

Turned off Privatefirewall HIPS. Put WinPatrol Plus back on. So far this is a good combination.

 

Made some minor changes to my machine to prepare for some bigger changes. I disabled on-access scanning for Windows Defender so it now only scans which a program is downloaded through my machine. So WD is kinda there but it ain't really doing anything.

I am currently in the process of narrowing down some programs to replace it on all my machines. I am not a risky surfer but I have been to a few sites that have been hacked and almost been infected, gladly at the time the URL that the hacker put in the hacked site was down at the time so I was safe from the script. Right now I think I may chose Immunet or Mamutu because I was going to chose Malware Defender but with school I do not have the time to go through and set it up and answer all the alerts.

Family laptop setup is still rather simple with: Panda Cloud PRO/WF/Clearcloud/WD but I am in the mood to change that so once I test Immunet on my machine it may replace WD on that machine and once I get some spare time this week I will most likely add Rising PC Doctor.

Family Desktop: I need to work on this one, its slow because of age and the three major malware infections it suffered. All of them seem to be due to hacked sites so I am most likely going to make this setup: Panda Cloud PRO/PrevX/Rising PC doctor. Rising will be mainly used for me checking whats running on the machine and both the family desktop and laptop use IE so I can use its extended IE protection to guard from drive by infections.

So many cool looking programs so little computer to test it on, good thing I have friends who like to test programs

 

Avast 5 free
Prevx safe online (facebook)
Outpost firewall free

I've been using this combo for about a week now and seems very light and effective.

This could be a keeper!

edit: The Avast Pirate language is interesting too.

 

thinking on puting Defensewall or prevx or blue point security or vipre with PE Guard with winpatrol plus

 

Perhaps something like this, with System Explorer portable....
