What is your security setup these days?

That's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anyone before just use the AV & D+, and not the FW. So you have the FW disabled altogether then?

Do you use Outbound filtering in the Win7 FW?

It would be really cool if Comodo could make a streamlined D+ (ONLY) HIPS program. It'd be so convenient for people on Win7 that wanted to use the native FW, but also like HIPS. This is the dilemma I'll be running into when I upgrade to Win7. I want to use everything built into the OS I can, but I've really grown to love HIPS. Nobody wants to install an entire suite when they only really want 1-2 of the components in it. Too much bloat left behind.

A FW/D+ only program would be sweet too. That's what I'd use right now.

 

I just used the AV and D+ but I did not select the firewall to install. I'm pretty sure D+ can catch things before they hit the drive so a firewall might not be needed. I am using windows 7 firewall just to be light.

 

when you install comodo antivirus it comes with defense + just like when you install the firewall it comes with defense +.

 

Just bought a appguard license. 3 for $20 can't go wrong! Thing is I'm quite happy with Emsisoft Antimalware + Online Armor + Emet + MBAM Pro so I'm not sure if I need Appguard?

 

Are there MBAM Pro giveaways going on?

 

PANDA scored 96/100 on a Malware test I saw. I don't think you need it

 

But its always safer to have an some extra coverage ya know perhaps cover that 4%

 

True! I do like MBAM PRO for it's url blocking. It's one of the best.

Next on the list Sophos UTM, Avira + Sophos scanning = good

 

Not only that, those are lifetime licenses so... yeah.

 

Removed Sandboxie just for the sake of testing the full Comodo suite again. I can say that I'm impressed because I can't feel the drag of the AV anymore (I was using Comodo Firewall+Sandboxie).

So two possibilities:

1: I'm getting old...
2: They have done something to it in the past 6 months that I haven't heard about .

 

A couple months now and still running with the tools in my signature...

 

I changed my security setup again, but finally I'm quite happy I think with my security setup as it is now (also in signature).
Also I'm starting to use a LUA account or Standard User as it is called in Windows 7.

 

I added PeerBlock to filter internet traffic. I use P2P, Spyware and Advertising lists.

I hope, that this time I won't have problems with it.

 

still using RIS.

 

Good going.

I don't think you would need AG with that setup.

 

Yeah sweet.

 

Very good setup you got there Mongol.

 

I wonder why you would need Comodo Firewall/D+ when you've got KIS. Also I think MVPS HOSTS is not needed with your already solid setup.

 

How do you like it Tom? Also do you use a paid subscription for OpenDNS and do you use DNSCrypt for it?

 

So far, it's good. No I don't use paid subscription and no DNSCrypt for me for now.

 

Oh I see. Great then.

 

Paranoid mode

 

Running now Norton Internet Security 2012, So far running well and lite on the system.

 

Still using what's in my sig. It's light and fast. I think I'm well protected.

 

Been the same for 3-plus years now. No need to keep changing all the time.
