What is your security setup these days?

Jmonge my good friend,you must have tried every av and security suite out there.

You are very hard to please..lol

 

i want to have the best

 

So your using policy based mode? how is that working out?

 

it blocks every thing that is not allow by hips engine,sort of anti-executable and it works in real time,even if you save the file to destop or my documents it will be denny only approved programs are allow to luch the rest is block in real time and it is password protected in case some one in the house want to disable hips to downloads stuff

 

Seems like that would get annoying quick

 

it depends for me it is good for my kids in bad lol

 

Bye-bye foxy and urlvoid. Hello dragon and web inspector.

 

nod is fast and it feels light

 

That's for sure

 

WSA + ERP , i feel it so light with awesome prevention abilities. My cpu thanks me ^^

 

out of all programs i ever tried HitmanPro is the best and maybe my faborite program then DefenseWall
follow by emsisoft antimalware

 

I agree for Defensewall & EAM but not for HMP (until it has a RT module )

 

it has a real time protection?it has real time protection when you reboot the pc it will scan and kill malware automaticly if it finds some i just hit delete and reboot and it scan it will clean your pc in real time

 

Well, I have spoken on here before about ESET AV. I have used their free online scanner in a forensics role, to root out things that have slipped past another program, and it does that well. ESET is without a doubt one of the best programs out there, and I have been wanting to find something other than what I am currently using. I think I am going to take a look at the latest version of ESET. Their Nod32 is famous. Can't go wrong.

 

finally some buddy speaks reality nod in the hands of a nerd or a computer freak can be all he needs for protection and i tell you if we put nod's setting the the max it is very powerfull and what is nice is that it doesnt affect it's performance

 

hahaha you play with words

 

Updated, switched back to my old friend Mamutu

 

I'm gradually adding rules to AppLocker from MrBrian config. Now I've added rules for executables. If PC will be OK I'll add other rules. If there will be problems I'll revert back with Eaz-Fix to the snapshot before AppLocker.

 

Safe Admin's ten tricks to keep the rings (of my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits desktop) shiny and safe.

Home network (LAN) protection
01. Router (inbound) and Windows FireWall also blocking outbound applications, with IE locked (IP's=URL's, 443=HTTPS) for online banking

Keep Ring0 shiny = intrusion mitigation for all (including admins)
02. Deny installation/elevation of unsigned drivers-activeX-PS1scripts/executables through GPO/UAC-ValidateAdminCodeSignatures
03. Memory exploit protection with DEP/SEHOP/ASLR/HeapTerminationOnCorruption and EMET (for explorer and 'user' applications)
04. Locked System Configuration (FW-rules, logon, shell, command/scripts, regedit, com, user-autostarts/tasks) through GPO
05. Deny execute for Everyone in (drive-by) download/internet/mail/media folders and (drive-in) USB through ACL/GPO

Keep Ring3 safe = infection restrictions for (basic) users
06. Locked settings of Outlook, Internet Explorer and Chrome (with AdBlockPlus extension) through GPO (using nsa templates)
07. SRP default level Basic User (set a deny execute) for all software files (in user folders) except for (run as) Administrator
08. Running mail and media in LUA (stripmyrights), web browsers in protected mode/policy sandbox plus ExploitShield free

On demand
09. HitmanPro free Scan and Autoruns change check before monthly Data (to NAS) and Image (to 2nd HD) backup
10. Practice safe-hex: check before with VirusTotal and CIMA sandbox and install with uninstaller (e.g. Zsoft)

 

runnning nod antivirus

 

Im now running avast 8 with windows firewall.Also changed my browser from dragon to firefox and im very impressed with the new firefox.
Far better experience with firefox now than last time.

 

WSA+WOT Chrome addon ftw.

 

Trying out NVT ERP in place of Applocker.

 

NVT is much easier to deal with than AppLocker... Good choice.

 

Finally I have Avast IS 8 and Webroot SA working together flawlessly on my Windows 8 PC.

P.S.
i guess I spoke too soon. Blue screen on the first sample detected by both.
