What is your security setup these days?

Changed a few sandboxing settings - moved some thigns from Direct Access to Read-Only.

 

Definitely solid. Its really light. Actually I have some portable scaners in a directory on other drive. But those are emergency cleanup tools, which I'm pretty sure I won't need.

 

Love it. Security Chef Kernelwars!

 

Like what, HM?

 

I knew you would like it.. Master Chef @page42

 

No no no. I am not even a line cook with security.

 

Don't feel bad I just chop carrots and boil water in a pot

 

You are just as humble as I thought you would be Master Chef @Page42

 

looks like a full time job, taking care of all this.

 

I'd given Skype some direct access it didn't need to. Same with Minecraft. I'm now changed it to read only and that seems to still work.

 

LOL not really. Its pretty much set and forget. I just gave the details of what settings I'm using. I will rarely have to change anything.

 

LOL! Okay, I was bragging. I wash dishes.
Sometimes they let me out of the kitchen to bus tables, but when I return, they run manual scans to make sure I am clean.

 

LOL Page. Look at the bright side at least you know you are clean after the manual scans are done

 

Yeah, seems like a very calm system. Very little user-interaction necessary... as it should be!

And when autosandboxing comes it'll be even moreso.

 

@1chaoticadult
did you enable SSL scanning for traffic light?

 

Exactly. Very light as well. Well Said. Lets just say I get why you don't like AVs now

I don't see that option..

 

I think you get that option when you r installing it..

 

I didn't get that option when I installed the extension.

 

ah ok. I installed the web installer..the universal one I think

 

Yea I don't use the web installer.

Ok so I decided to add sandboxie. I also have Nod32, MBAM Pro, Ad Muncher and Online Armor firewall only.

Quick SBIE question- my default browser is Chrome. When running Chrome sandboxed with more than one tab open I only see the top tab in SBIE. Are all tabs in Chrome sandboxed or just the one that is on top? Maybe that's a dumb question but I am new to this SBIE stuff.

EDIT- also for some reason there are no [#] emblems in the Chrome tabs. Is that normal?

 

They are all sandboxed.
One way to confirm is to drag the finder tool over the window in question...

Sandboxie Control \ File \ Is Window Sandboxed? \ Drag the Finder Tool over a window to select it, then release

I don't see them in Chrome either, and I have Sandboxie configured to show the # indicators. You can always have Sandboxie display a border around the window.

 

Removing the AV (Avira) has made a profound impact on my setup. I guess the absence of real-time scanning, even for a light AV, makes a big difference that goes far beyond simple memory usage. Browsing hasn't changed much, it's windows explorer that's much snappier.

Removing D+ from Comodo FW on the other hand has had no noticeable impact whatsoever, so I'm thinking about just keeping it around an an anti-executable. I'd feel safer this way anyway now living without an AV. It would help fill some of that void.

 

my most favorite setup yet it's 'lean and mean' pc's running smooth and fast
