What is your security setup these days?

I agree about AppGuard protecting the MBR.I have Deep Freeze for just my added layer and software testing and not for the MBR protection, but that's just a added benefit.I hope now, its just as good as Shadow Defender.

 

Removed / Faronics Anti-Executable 5.10

Good Evening ! Removed Bitdefender I.S.2013 and replaced with Avira I.S.2012 and WSA Essentials. Sincerely...Securon

 

Solid setup man

 

have to removed MalwarebytesPRO 1.62 it slowed my movie nite experience so hasta la vista mbam

 

hey dave i am very tempted to try same set up as you man,for sure appguard is here to stay as i dont use sandboxie and defensewall is not 64 bit ready

 

j, I suppose this should go without asking, but have you maxed out the RAM capacity on your box?
And another thought... couldn't you just not start the protection module with Windows on movie night?

 

Have to update the sig now that PCAV has updated to 2.0 from 1.52.

 

What are your first impressions on the 2.0 version?

 

Deep Freeze is light as a feather,lighter then any thing that I ever tried or use and only 2 service running and its very stable and fast.

 

Why not? SBIE is awesome. You're missing a solid protection buddy.

 

I think if you're using system wide virtualization you don't really need Sandboxie, I know there are some users here that run these programs together but that's just my opinion. Also I think system wide virtualization is less complicated to use. I mean Sandboxie is not really complicated if you got used to it but you have to open you locations with the correct sandbox in order to get to your files etc...this might be complicated at least for average users. As another example Geswall just flags your untrused files and you simply go to the download location without having to know in which sandbox it is in etc...

I use process explorer and it runs packed with 2 executables running (FrzState2k.exe and DFServ.exe). Working set is about 18MB for me. If I remember correctly SD runs even lighter on memory but I'm pleased with deepfreeze, no slowdowns at all. Only thing I noticed is it's tray icon shows up kinda late when you boot your system but that's nothing to be concerned about.

Only thing I need to fix somehow is Opera Mail combined with Deepfreeze because E-Mails are downloaded over and over again cause there are deleted on reboot of course. I guess these are those kind of things where you have to use Data Igloo but I am not sure :/

 

As i wrote in the Panda Cloud thread,today i tried again the 2.0 version and the slow downs are gone.So my favorite combo is back.
PCAV Pro
CIS FW
SBIE
CTM

 

I agree with you completely. Anyways, I don't use system wide virtualization software. So I'm good with sbie.

 

Really? Did Panda Cloud Team release a small update to the version to fix the slowdowns? Or is it just your system that suddenly feels lighter with Panda Cloud?

 

I really don't know what happened.Read here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2091667&postcount=227

 

Oh I see. Well I hope Panda Team fixed the slowdown problem and it's common to everyone and not just in your particular system. I'm eager to use Panda Cloud again.

 

My system, DF icon shows up quick and in this order. The sound - wireless - battery stat - Deep Freeze - then Appguard which is always the last to load for me.

 

for me it's the other way round. Appguard is the first thing to come up in the system tray and deepfreeze appears at last but I guess that depends on the drives that deepfreeze has to put into a frozen state. I wonder if there is any difference if I let Deepfreeze freeze my 3TB HDD + some external 1TB drive as well. Currently it freezes a Crucial M4 SSD and a 500GB HDD.

 

removed appguard and welcome Emsisoft Firewall 5.5 back

 

That makes sense.

 

J what happen, I thought you said AppGuard was staying.

 

one of my kids was able to disable it and change configurations within it and it is not safe or secure it needs pasword protection,he was able to install software and didnt like that at all,it needs to be protected with a password

 

You should suggest that feature in the Appguard thread to come up in future releases. There already is parental controls implemented but never bothered with it so not sure if you can do something there to prevent unauthorized users from changing the appguard configuration.

 

good idea Arcanez
thanks
i tried parental controls but it didnt work never
had to put Malwarebytes Pro back on guard as it is one of my best and faborite antimalware programs at this very moment
what i will do is that when it is movie nite disable mbampro service and after movie is done put it back on guard
