What is your security setup these days?

i know this is another pc i am trying to see which one is more paranoid threatfire or mamutu so in this pc i have this 2 for testing purposes
and so far i have mamutu in paranoid more and threatfire in level 5 and threatfire is more paranoid

 

I'd go with mamutu, it's still being developed and it is very good at what it does and has plenty of pop-ups if configured properly.

 

You will need at least a Pro lisence what is your OS?

 

Nice setup

I guess for no other reason than it makes for further separation from the administrative account, and then I also require to enter credentials to elevate from the Standard account, whereas in the admin account I only have to answer the consent to elevate, which is the way I like it.

Good question. I've actually been considering the switch to HMP for the on-demand scanner. I've seen many favourable comments on it

 

Back to using one of my all-time favorite combos.

Comodo Internet Security 6 and NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro

 

Why both if i may ask..?

 

I use EXE Radar Pro simply for these reasons

1. Protection against exploits
2. To catch what Comodo might miss, if it misses anything.
3. System Lockdown Mode (Restriction of installations)
4. To Password protect sensitive processes.
5. Process and event monitoring

 

I'm using may favorites avast! + noscript

 

Thank you.
Thats a very good strategy.

 

Thank you

I like it because it's Light, Strong and very effective overall

 

i am going to remove ExploitShield Browser Edition 0.9 i think i dont need it now i want to try an antivirus and a behabiour blocker
maybe threatfire and ikarus or just emsisoft antimalware

 

Emsisoft perhaps....?

 

yeap the only thing is that i only have 1 emsisoft licence and i have a ikarus licence sitting there and threatfire is free so i can have some thing similar to emsisoft antimalware

 

Shame about threatfire going under.i used threatfire for quite a while.
Yeah emsisoft is a great choice.

 

i was one of the first one to use cyberhawk when it first came out and then i got so mad when they became threatfire and now norton got it and killed it
but like you said emsisoft is a better choice and i agree with you

 

How about Ikarus and Threatfire?

 

good combo man

 

How good is ikarus?

 

Good Evening! MRF71...have used Ikarus in the past and will continue to use it for future needs. On my system it was light and responsive. Some forum members have stated it initiated an unacceptable number of false positives. I never encountered that problem. It's detection rates are usually very effective. I would certainly recommend Ikarus it's a Superb App. And their Sales and Support are most assuredly Customer focused. Sincerely...Securon

 

Thanks Securon, I may give it a try
I'm experimenting with defensewall on our family pc and so far I like it but it's blocking my shared folders.

 

Thanks. Will look into that. I was running XP SP 3,home edition until I had to do a reinstall a couple of years ago. At that time, I downloaded XP SP 3 Pro from the Microsoft website. I noticed it took up a lot more disc space than the home edition,but have had more updates available from Microsoft, which appears to be better from a security standpoint. Another thing I noticed, when checking running processes on my firewall, and taskmanager, is that the only thing that seems to show up in svchost.exe is Avast. have NEVER seen anything else running under that .exe.......I really haven't taken a good look elsewhere, when I set up EMET, I just included every file I could in the course of a couple of days. I have every .exe file running on EMET, but- have not been able to figure out how to include DLL files (Dynamic Links Library) into EMET.....Where does one look in the registry to include DLL files into EMET?
Edited 4/1/13- Every time I would try to include a DLL file into EMET, I would get a message saying: "This is not a valid executable"...(or something like that)

 

MRF71, ikarus antivirus is good at detecting malware but it lacks proactive protection and that is why i wanted to try it with threatfire or mamutu

 

Well I have recently heard that HMP has the 32mb limitation that VT has so keep that in mind. For whole system scanning though, I like it a lot! Oh yea and that isn't my setup (yet). I was just telling that one guy what the acronyms stand for.

 

Switched to Avira free,Privatefirewall,WinPatrol Plus and Sandboxie.
