What is your security setup these days?

I think you left in the cabinet, go grab it

 

comodo firewall pro//rollback RX

 

nice setup buddy very light

 

Network
DDWRT Router running recommended build
DDWRT firewall turned on
Google DNS

Realtime Protection
Built in Windows 8 security
Defender turned off

System Hardening -- Windows 8 64bit
UAC on Max
Disabled some services
As few programs installed as possible.

Browser -- Chrome Dev
Block 3rd Party Cookies
Built in malware protection/ download scans/ heuristics for phishing
Default PDF reader -- no adobe necessary
Proof of concept ad-blocking

Backup Browser -- IE10

Portable On Demand Scanners/ Tools -- USB Drive
RKILL.com
SuperAntiSpyware Portable
Hitman Pro
Ninite for updating

 

Forgot to remove EMET.

 

TRying out google DNS.
I'll use it for the day but it seems to load a littler slower than norton DNS.

Also thinking of adding ROllback RX. Last time I used it, my boot time was slowed down a bit. Not sure if I like that too much. I also had a dual boot linux at the time.

 

Prevx 3.0 $ (realtime)
Comodo Firewall/D+
Hitman Pro (on-demand)
Sandboxie $ (browsers/downloads folder)
UAC Enabled
CCleaner
Panda USB Vaccine
Adblock on Chrome

 

I guess soon my security setup will be:

Win7 Prof. x64 SP1:
UAC at max
EMET with maximum protection
AppLocker
NortonDNS

Real time:
MBAM Pro
Comodo Firewall & D+
Avast Free AV or MSE

On Demand:
Dr. Web CureIT
Hitman Pro
AVZ
Comodo Cleaning Essential (i love killswitch.exe)

Firefox:
AdBlock Plus
LastPass
HTTPS-Everywhere
HTTPS-Finder
Flashblock

What do you think of this system? I want it to be as lightweight as possible (i think avast/mse are more lightweight than the comodo av inside CIS).

Also thought about sandboxie.. but nah Too much troubles with all the settings and then u download smth and have to let it out of the sandbox and problems with logfiles of IM-clients, etc etc

Or I will just keep on using CIS (with av) and add mbam pro as I read a lot about conflicts between too many different products :S

 

my security setup started failing

Avast free
comodo Firewall
Prevexfree

Promote me something
prevex won't run anymore
so is vmware 8

 

Why did it fail? What happened?

 

Nothing
just Vmware started to Popup some issue about vmx86.sys wasn't able to Load
and Prevex monitoring couldn't be enabled
the program disappeared


i started to get sick of Prevex 3.0 Free edition
i don't think it's useful since it don't offer real time Protection

but i don't want to lose it for nothing
i need something in it's place

Freebie Of course

 

solved the problem by adding comodo to shell code injection buffer overflow Protection

but i'm worried is that a security risk ?

 

ESET Smart Security 5

 

i need an advise on snapshots of the state of my system or system restore that are trouble free or easy on my system thanks

 

Keriver 1-click restore

 

Well look who's back.....my red umbrella....

 

How much RAM does AntiVir Premium use while idle/scanning?

 

I also want to know .

 

Surely this is an excellent choice. Already restored more than 250 snapshots without any problems. Deserves the Pro version!

 

It sure is awesome I've restored 3 times

Definitely

 

i`m using rollback RX and never had any problems..didn`t try the keriver app but after reading your posts i guess it`s pretty good, right?

 

Nah, felt like trying something different. Unusual for a Wilders member I know.

 

good for you

yeah

 

is Keriver free?

 

yes they have a free version J.. the paid version is worth the money and a way to support development for a good product IMO
