is this setup OK?

hi, do you think this is an OK security setup in Vista?

antivir
cyberhawk
sandboxie
windows defender
and i changed the DEP setting to all programs.

i've got superantispyware too, but i haven't installed it yet. which has better real-time protection out of that and WD?

i'm definately going to add a FW too, which is the best one for vista on a laptop? i'll run as a limited user too when i get round to setting that up.

should i add anything? thanks.

 

With the setup you list, Sandboxie, AntiVir and FW should be enough.

 

Hi Iceni,

Is Antivir classic or premium ?

Are you behind a router or a hardware fw ?

If you are at least behind a router (and do not bother about outbound connections) and using Antivir PE, i think you will have a very good setup with :

Antivir PE heuristic/blacklist for antimalware
SandboxIE virtualization for untrusted apps
Cyberhawk for behavorial detection

Don't use WD and use SAS as a on demand scanner (SAS has IMO a far better detection)

Hope this help

Hello,
It really does not matter, x, y, z. You know what you're doing. The only two things I can think of are Firewall and Firefox. Anything else is perks.

thanks for the help. i'm using anvir classic with heuristics set to high. i do have a router, but this is a laptop so i won't always have it. but, i'll get a good FW before i use it without the router. i'm using proxomitron too. i still need to go through my startups and installed programs because it came with loads of rubbish pre-installed. i have put this program in my startups - snarfer it looks like it uses IE's engine. it should be filtered by proxo, but can i run it in sandboxie as a startup?
