What is your security setup these days?

Yeah Athlon 2 X4 2.9GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM

it isn't much difference i know,
but this experience comes in handy when i install Windows 7 x86 on my 6 year old laptop which has only 512 MB ram and a single core celeron 2.0GHz

 

Good doggie With its light guard and without any impact in pc's performance,an ideal candidate to a very good security combination.

 

@VectorFool
Oh I though all those security apps were taking up the space. Then it's okay.

 

@JoeBlack40
Well that's great.

 

Precisely...and that is exactly why I run BOTH programs.

 

Used Avira for a couple of years. Good antivirus. BUT, it wasn't as good as Avast on my XP machine. Had to clean up a couple of bugs that slipped past it.

 

I purchased a 3 pc 1 year license of F-Secure Antivirus $39.99 installed on two New windows 8 Laptops,Nice and light with fast scans.Just out of curiosity I installed F-Secure for Macs and inserted the same license code and it works but it still says I have 2 0f 3 being used.

 

Option is there infact!

 

Yeah, Exploit Shield runs more like an IPS. Java is handling an exe from the net? Better start asking questions. IPS-like gear on the host seems strong, but I have a personal pref for running off the router--Snort and such. It's not quite as strong, perhaps, but quite fast.

EMET prevents buffer overflows and memory attacks which are generally a precursor to drive-by shell drops.

Anyhow, still testing the new Comodo 6 with rules for each app on Win 7. EMET on the same layers. MBAM. & now SandboxIE since they are compatible on my end.

Chrome Dev. I love Chrome.

I will be starting on a new secure VM with Zemana AL Free and some other juice. Zemana Free keeps loggers out by only allowing the focused object to receive input. Low CPU. I am wondering how I can integrate with AutoHotKey.

One more mention: I tried the SB Beta 4.0 and received many errors, so switched back.

 

@Dark Shadow
You lucky dave!

 

almost a year now using nothing but NoScript for protection.

of course, i scan my downloads with Hitman Pro, VirusTotal or Jotti's.

 

I'm using absolutely nothing except what's in my sig.

@moontan
My setup is simpler than yours.

 

where exactly is the option?
can you show me with some pics

 

Tru dat

 

DeepFreeze

 

does deepfreeze 7.60 work well? Last time when I tried the beta and even the released Version of it it indeed froze my System. For me it seemed even the released 7.60 Version has some strange bugs at least on Windows 8 and since there are no new update notes I guess those bugs are still there?!

That was one reason for me to go back to shadow Defender.

 

@VectorFool
Thanks.

 

whoa
what happened with emsisoft?

try Shadow Defender when you are done with Deep Freeze

 

How that is possible is beyond me but lucky indeed.I am still only using the three license i paid for but I thought PC License codes where tied to only windows platform but perhaps a loop whole I guess.

 

DeepFreeze has always worked well on all my windows 7 machines but they just need a on the fly frozen mode like SD Shadow mode to make less rebooting.To much booting and booting for me.

 

If you buy a 3 PC license from ESET you can use in on either Mac or PC as long as it doesn't exceed three it's OK. So perhaps F-Secure is using a similar license model?

Edit: As in 2 PC 1 Mac etc...

 

Sounds logical,However my license say 2 of three are being used when in fact I am using all three.

 

Still using iptables (with outbound rules) and Noscript. The outbound rules on iptables probably aren't necessary, or even particularly helpful; but if you only use a handful of ports anyway, then why give a trojan dropper the benefit of the doubt?

Also this is 64-bit Linux, so obviously there's NX and (some) ASLR. And package updates, duh.

(I've also been messing around with POSIX capabilities, e.g. making X run without setuid. It's a cool trick but I'm not sure how much it's worth; especially on a desktop, where gaining root is a nonissue for an attacker.)

 

Hehe I see, yes then perhaps it's not supposed to be used cross-platform

 

Slimmed down my set up again:

- MBAM Pro
- K9
- NS + ABP
