What is your security setup these days?

Don't like it too much

 

Emisoft Anti-Malware
NVT Exe Radar Pro
Firefox w/ Adblock Plus (Sandboxed with Sandboxie)
Win7 Firewall (Block In/Out)

MBAM PRO (On-Demand)

Same as befor really, best combo i have used so far. I format atleast once a month no idea why i should really start making system images after drivers and windows updates are installed.

And nice few games you have there on your desktop Vector, i to have Borderlands 2 but never play it lol, got fed up of dieing all the time playing solo

 

Everything ran well, it just runs a little heavier than Comodo.

My resource usage hiked up 5% more while using Outpost

HaHaHa, I'm picky I guess

So, Outpost will be used on my son's computer, instead of mine and his.

 

OMG!... why?

 

OnlineArmor Pro
Avast Pro

 

I was wonderin myself

 

Now my comp is mostly in the "Shadow Mode" of the SD. It's rather fanny not to forget to commit the changed and downloaded files.

 

After a brief flirtation with AppArmor, I'm back to Noscript and iptables... and OSSEC, because if my laptop does get compromised I want to know about it.

 

Good Afternoon! 1...2...3...Simple...Light...Lethal...WSA Essentials...AppGuard...Hitman Pro. Sincerely...Securon

 

Paradox... with NoScript you'll never get compromised.

I feel you though. My HIPS would hurl a bunch of obscenities my way, in a big red box if I were compromised.

But naturally, with NS, a default deny SRP, SBIE, and VTHC scanning everything newly introduced to my box with a gallizion different (always up to date) engines... that doesn't tend to happen often. In fact I can count the amount of times on 0 fingers...

and if it someday does, well... that's why I laid down the $50 for Macrium Standard.

 

What happened to Kerio 2.1.5 Lonewolf?... That seemed like such an ideal app for you. So light, great for XP. If I hadn't fallen in love with a HIPS I'd use it instead of Comodo.

Also jmonge... I really liked that setup you showed of (I think) EAM, SBIE & Shadow Defender. My favorite I've seen you post yet. Any competitive/light real-time AV along with those 2 apps is a great setup, really.

 

So important to backup yet too often overlooked. It astounds me that so many people will blissfully spend hours re-installing Windows and all their programs and updates from scratch, when they could instead spend a few minutes re-installing a recent image.

 

Likely true for a Linux desktop, but sometimes bad stuff happens.

This is the one problem with OSSEC, notification is not in realtime; it goes to my mail spool. It would be nice if I could invoke an xmessage popup if a certain severity threshold were exceeded.

There OTOH Linux has the advantage. Let's hear it for tarball backups and 30 minute reinstalls...

 

Woooooo first time in my life i run this 2 at same time i was scare to get a blue screen they are running good so far but mmmmmm not surealso set my SoftWare Restriction Policy
woooo nothing install here

update:i have to removed MalWare DefenDer 2.8 as it will not remenber the rules after reboot not to silent

 

next i will combine sandboxie+shadow defender+SRP very silent security aproach

 

Only removed it temporary, it's back on for right now.

Current setup........
Kerio 2.1.5
AppGuard 3.4.2
Shadow Defender 1.1.0.325

AdMuncher 4.93
Macrium Reflect 4.2

OpenDNS
Opera

 

Indeed. I think because they also don't take the few minutes needed to learn how to reimage. I don't have much to backup, but whenever I come across new installers I do so. Also I'm kinda working on writing a book... it's a constructive way to spend some free time. Other than that, not much changes on my box. But definitely good advice to keep an up to date backup... more than 1, actually.

I have a 500 GB Western Digital Elements external HD. It has way more than enough space for everything I have. I travel light. An 8 GB Kingston Data Traveler Vault Privacy, 256-bit AES encrypted USB stick that I double backup the important stuff on. And anything on that that isn't sensitive ; )... I have triple backed up on a regular USB stick. And keep an up to date DVD-RW too... so really I'm quadri-backuped (new word... ya heard it here first).

Anything I consider sensitive, I run only from that encrypted stick, and don't store locally.

 

Very awesome approach too. Scan new files with VT Hash Check and you're good to go.

Of course... it'd work TOO well for you, and you'd get bored to tears within a day. So it won't stick.

 

I'd substitute Sandboxie 3.76 for AppGuard personally... but different strokes for different folks.

I always love your setups!

 

Good Morning! Currently using F-Secure I.S.2013...paired with WSA Essentials and App Guard. Taking advantage of the F-Secure 30 day trial period. Sincerely...Securon

 

Good set up...no virus/malware will have a chance there!

 

For over a year my setup is what we read in the signature.

Cheers.....

The whole set-up has really been put together after reading info on the forum but that was around 6 months ago. Any suggestions for an improved/stramlined set-up would be appreciated.
