What is your security setup these days?

Norton ConnectSafe
Sandboxie
HitmanPro
KeePass
NoScript & AdBlock Plus
Drive Snapshot

What do you think guys?

 

I'm glad to hear that,as Avast and CIS FW is your favorite combo. (as it is mine too )
As for me,returned to another "beloved" combination:
Avast free
SBIE
SpyShelter free
WinPatrol Plus
Comodo FW (no D+)

 

Looks good to me

 

That is also one of my all time favorite setups.

@JoeHow about dropping Winpatrol Plus and enabling D+? I think you'd have a solid setup with that.

 

Ah thanks ComputerSaysNo.

 

avast 7 free

hitman pro free daily scans

private firewall 7

malwarebytes free


i have a problem Ive been wanting to use avira

but when i install it says i have avg still on my pc

which i don't get i uninstalled it along time ago
i also used the tool they have for uninstall

but still no luck of removing

anyone out there please help

and thanks ahead of time

 

Maybe you can try Avira RegistryCleaner.
It's not just for Avira AV.

 

Yes it is. It searches for registry keys created by Avira, not by AVG or any other AV.

 

I'm currently using TrustPort, the picture below shows what the Avira found.

 

Well,another fan for this combo
Unfortunately,i let D+ disabled because it still have problems when Avast is installed.Problems means that cfp.exe "eats" 25-30 even 40% CPU.Not all the time,but often enough to annoy me...

 

I think that sooner or later you will start to miss WSE

 

Amit/Iron Man/(I can't remember the initial one) setup is like an "accordion" slowly expanding up to when its too much and then needs to go back to the base

 

Why so much have Webroot when he is not at all a strong protection?
Let's look at these video test.

Yup I've always loved that setup. I had used Comodo fw/D+ and Avast for more than 3 years.

Oh I see. That much CPU usage would also drive me nuts. Still solid you got there. With sbie nothing else is needed. But Winpatrol is still redundant as you also have Spyshelter.

 

I miss WSA already. But it does not work with sbie. All the identity shield, web threat protection, etc just do not work in a sandboxed browser.

I've put WSA in another pc with not sbie though. Running smooth there. But I miss in this pc. I roam around quite a bit with this netbook. It would be nice to see that green icon all the time. Instead it's now on a pc I rarely get a chance to use. Family members take all the time. Very little WSA for me.

I hope Tzuk add WSA to sbie's software compatibility list.

 

The first one was ams963.

ROFL. You just described the pattern of my setups. That's so true.

 

If you take a few minutes and read this whole blog post, then you will understand the real power of the product, and how it really works

Watching you tube tests when it comes to Webroot doesn't give the product a chance to show what it can do IMO.

 

Aaah, yes. Thanks!

 

I understand, and I have seen you post about this in the prevx section.

To be honest, since you are not a "high risk user" I would bet that you would be perfectly fine and safe with WSE alone. But the choice is yours of course I guess the issue is that you don't feel protected enough without sbie You need to trust WSE more my friend

 

That's absolutely true. I don't believe in YouTube tests. Just not trustworthy.

WSA rocks

 

But i love WinPatrol and the impact on the system is 0.And doesn't hurt to have another watch dog which doesn't interfere at all with Spyshelter and vice-versa.Everything it's in a complete harmony.

 

Welcome fax. I'm always here to remind you guys of my old identities.

 

I trust WSA. But I love Sbie more.

And since WSA-E is just gonna give me features of WSA-A in presence of sbie, I would better leave two unleash full powers on their own and install them in separate pcs. Sad thing is I chose Sbie over WSA and installed the poor WSA on the family shared pc.

 

0 system impact and living in harmony does not deter my point. Winpatrol is still redundant with that setup.

Funny thing, a few months ago we switched roles. You were the one convincing me to leave Winpatrol on the basis of this very same point.

 

I think it has been said you can use Sandboxie for general surfing and use WSA without Sandboxie for banking sites to get the ID protection. Admittedly, it would be nice if the two could work together, but they don't currently co-exist when it comes to identity protection for technical reasons.

By the way, this isn't exclusive to WSA and Sandboxie; it has been reported the same occurs with Trusteer Rapport and Sandboxie.
