What is your security setup these days?

Good Evening! J Monge...G-Data most assuredly contains a very effective Behaviour blocker. Check out the Security Channel...review on U Tube... and then come to your own conclusion. So far G-Data I.S. 2014 isn't as heavy on the users system...a big plus...hopefully it's detection rates will be as consistent as always. Sincerely...Securon

I'm also thinking of giving Exploitshield a shot as I've read some great things on this board

 

Why do you use abandoned behavior blocker while there is Mamutu the Great inside EAM?

 

i am trying this one and comparing for testing purposes only and i put the emsisoft bb in paranoid mode and threatfire in level 5 and threat fire gives more alerts than emsisoft :0

 

done with ThreatFire 4.7
nice program

 

my new combo

 

Would Mamutu the Great in any way be related to Carnac the Magnificent?

j buddy, I was surprised you even started up with it, except maybe extreme boredom was sitting in.

 

Page42, what are you running? I remember you became a VIPRE supporter when I abandoned the ship. I've been tempted to try it again as I liked it performance-wise all the time, even after GFI took over.

 

Hi atomomega,

I've been happily running VIPRE AV now for over 2 years. I started out with their suite, but the firewall gave my XP system problems, so I reverted to the AV. I like it just fine, it doesn't require any attention from me, and as I'm fond of saying, with Sandboxie onboard, my AV isn't all that important anyway.

I think it is a good, solid AV, and run it on all my computers.

 

Want to have some fun then install "No Trace" its a Firefox extension.. Go to the control panel, set it to High, then go to Google images, look up landscapes, lakes, mountains, etc. then click on "No Trace" click "show blocked objects" Be aware it may break a connection or two but it will knock your socks off when you see the results..

Oh the memories...sure miss Carnac!!!

Dropped the idea of using SRP. Kinda wondering if that's the one that crashed explorer sometimes.

Hopefully I won't get hammered for this.

On demand
HitmanPro Free

Removed Beta software, re-installed clean image, needing play PC for business for a while

 

ESET SS + Emsisoft AM (full) + Sandboxie + Shadow Defender + Rollback RX

rest in my sig

 

I've settled on Hitman Pro for on demand scanning. I should have just stayed with it in the first place

 

i haveit in all my pcs

 

VirusTotal and Jotti's can be very good second opinions since you don't need to install anything.

the only downside is that they are limited in the size of what you can scan.
but pretty good to have nonetheless.

 

Went looking for a good link checker and found this..

Awe come on they can't be serious or I'm reading it wrong?

 

HMP is a top notch tool and a must have.
It is fast, effective and relatively cheap.

 

Originally I was concerned about the file size limit and the lack of recursive scanning. Now I figure, I don't really torrent anything anymore so I don't really need the recursive scanning and if I download something larger than 32mb, as long as it came from a reputable site then I should be ok.

 

Hello,

Well, I have been doing a lot of trial and error of many different set-ups since upgrading to Windows 8 Pro x64 and I have finally settled down into a set-up that I think I am going to stick with...

WRSA-AV only
AppGuard
Spy Shelter premium
Widows Firewall Control with Windows Firewall
Shadow Defender
Pale Moon x64
LastPass
Ad Muncher
DNS-Crypt with OpenDNS
Nitro Reader
TeraByte IFW/IFL/IFD

All work very well together on my system and runs extremely light with resources. I have tried a lot of softwares and a lot of combinations of them. This set-up is probably a little bit of overkill but I am one of those that likes to layer my security and not have it all relying on just one or two programs...

 

Indeed
I would say that WSA and AG should be more than enough.

 

Because of a few concerns i have with the latest incarnation of CIS i have gone back to a nice and light set up of Avast 8 and windows firewall.

 

Can you please ellaborate on your concerns if you don't mind? I recently switched to DefenseWall from CIS 6 but for no reason other than testing. However, I've seen people here at Wilders complaining about CIS latest version. I may have overlooked something, so I'm just curious to know what's wrong.
