If you could only use 1 Security App. what would you use?

BitDefender AV.

 

If it was only one app, it would have to be FD-ISR.

 

It would be Kaspersky antivirus!

 

SafeSpace because it is more than a simple sandbox!

 

Easily the single most important addition to my system was ZONE ALARM PRO.
The free version showed me how much traffic was out there, and i upgraded in a heartbeat and never looked back. It has done more for both cleaning my system and keeping it that way than any other application - AV included.

 

Sandboxie.
That along with my HW FW AlphaShield would do it.
But I believe to much in the layered approach to trust in only one app.

 

Nod32, or Smart security. Though kaspersy, prevx, and virtualized machines are great, that's just my preference.

 

Sandboxie

If I could have only one, that would have to be the one.

 

Like he said...............best app to ever buck the trend in instant recovery when needed or not. Can also double as a backup program also courtesy archives=snapshot images.

 

It would be ZASS for now.

 

I would use HIP/AntiSpy/AntiMalware/Firewall, all-in-one. Virusscanner useless (except for p2p users), only behavior checker useful in combination with firewall + antispy, like Comodo 3(but there is no antispy, so additionally e.g. a2 free or xoftspy) but on the other hand Easter is right full stand alone OA 2 should be better in terms of anti-hacking because it locks up the kernel, unhook game-over.

Not bad if combined with zone alarm, when zone alarm is hacked/attacked tiny will protect you as 2nd layer, this happened 4 years ago in reality and that was the prove for me that sometimes 2 firewalls can protect better then one against russian attacks. But that was probably a special exception because zone alarm and tiny worked seamless together at that time.

Process Guard is outdated software, that means it is a security risk.
You should reconsider your thoughts because you first would need a process guard for process guard otherwise any modern trojan will unhook and disable your process guard with ease. Remember we are not in 2004 but 2008.

Hehehe I agree, Kaspersky in some aspects is a vulnerability itself and slow downer straight behind norton, zone alarm antivirus becomes slow downer nr.1 through klif.sys and Aol is viewpoint adware.

 

The title says "Security Application" AFAIK, FD ISR is not a security application but instant recovery program.

 

Non of these, a firewall.

 

A good suite.

 

What entails "more than a simple sandbox"? if i might be so bold to ask.

1 Security App probably wouldn't do anyway with today's clever coders.

 

I hate to say this but there is no single tool that works, and those who keep asking for it are simply looking for the easy button... Get it out of ur head... It doesn't exist!

Fact is you need protection, to protect your protection as the protection you have is not able to protect itself or able to protect you properly... or in some cases it's not able to protect you against your own self doing the inevitable stupid thing.

Ergo, the need to use more than one program!

 

I agree, and I disagree. I have 3 apps on my computer - Sandboxie, Faronics AE and DeepFreeze. I think though, Sandboxie would protect me quite nicely, in conjunction with good old fashioned common sense using the computer between my ears. I mention Sandboxie because I'm familiar with it. Others might have complete faith in another software.

 

Nice setup.
SandBoxie is definantly a keeper.
I really liked AE but seemed to conflict with my mouse,some of the shortcut controls would cease to work which was annoying and for whatever reason I could not use my printer with AE installed. So it had to go.
I have to ask though....no firewall?

 

We have DSL with 2 computers running on an external modem and router. Both the modem and router have hardware firewalls.

 

Prevx

(running on a VM on Apple Mac)

 

kaspersky internet security
or
norton ghost
or
recovery genius

 

For Windows it's Sandboxie, no question. An absolutely fantastic security app.
As I tend to use PCLOS 2007 99% of the time nowadays I voted none.

 

Linux.

 

Right now it would be OA Paid (no av)
