What is your security setup these days?

I've been using my new security setup (in my sig) and it's fast. I didn't realize what an impact my security software had on performance.

 

Linksys Router with Norton DNS

Realtime:
Look 'n' Stop Firewall 2.07,
DefenseWall HIPS 3.21,
EMET

Encryption:
Jetico BestCrypt Volume Encryption (on-the-fly system encryption)
PGP (occasionally for signing)

On-demand (scan once per month):
HitmanPro
MBAM

Backup:
ShadowProtect Desktop (cold imaging to external drive)


Also...
Chrome (built in DNT enabled, no-referrer, geoloc disabled, js disabled globally, no 3rd cookies, http cookies blocked with exceptions for specific websites, java not installed, internal sandboxed pdf reader enabled, flash player for chrome not installed only PAPI in use, browser password manager disabled, autofill feature disabled, check for server certificate revocation enabled).

 

hey, have you experienced any issues with the latest Version of Deepfreeze so far? I own some large harddrives like an internal 3TB and an external 1TB and Deepfreeze had some Problems with them especially with the 3TB HDD. It couldn't handle it properly. Also I use Windows 8 Pro x64...

Also as a downside regarding the faronics Support: As soon as I mentioned that I had to uninstall Deepfreeze because of those Problems that I experienced they didn't respond to the tickets anymore. As if they think that the problem's solved by uninstalling the Software

 

Well said, jmonge.

 

Nice setup as usual @tomazyk.

 

@Arcanez Deepfreeze is running well here,troublefree and it is nice litle gem
@justenough thanks

 

can I run avira free on windows 8

bitdefender free
comodo firewakk free
malwarebytes free


windows 8

 

trying out Active@ Disk Image this is the first time i try this type of security software(aproach) maybe not be the best but it is a litle nice tool to start with
it took me 15 minutes of my precious time to create and image of a 15 gigabytes

 

avast! Free Antivirus
+
Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus
+
Sandboxie (Lifetime License)

 

Nice Radeon0101. Hows that working with avast and WSA? No drap with browsing?

 

they both are very fast and lite programs that dont affect system performance he should be ok

 

If running avast.then WSA is not needed.

 

or vice versa

 

Very true.

All down to personal taste.

 

i am currently trying webroot but not to convince with its malware detention but as i have deepfreeze and disk image program i should be ok if webroot fail to remove a malware

 

Everything is running smooth and light as a feather, no problems so far.

 

I like overkill setups, so it doesn't really matter hahaha

 

OS: Win 7 64-bit
RAM: 4 GB

Anti-Virus: MSE
Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes
Firewall: Comodo (just installed today)
Other: Sandboxie, KeyScrambler, VT Uploader, Wireshark

Any suggestions for other software or any alternatives I should be using? I noticed a lot of people have several programs they use to scan with. I'll be honest, I don't really scan often but I hope to change that.

 

I am running Comodo firewall only, version 3.0....I like it because it doesn't conflict with other programs, and you can set the HIPS tight.

 

Removed Rollback RX and replaced it by AX64 Time Machine

 

I have been running Avast AV for years. It has done well. But i am giving another brand a test drive. Gotta see how it works, before I decide to keep it. I like what I see so far. I have tested a lot of AV's....will report on it after I drive it for a while. ~Zitch~

 

back to Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7.0
i am done with deepfreeze for now

 

Appguard and HMP. No realtime antivirus.

 

I'll welcome you to Wilders, but maybe not using your name when doing so. Would prefer to keep this on a more professional level.

The more you know, the fewer security programs you'll need. What you've got now is certainly enough, especially if you are using Sandboxie to its potential. MSE isn't the most powerful AV, but that's not a big deal, I've gone without an AV for months at a time using mainly Sandboxie. If you want another scanner, try Hitman Pro, a lightweight cloud scanner.

 

same here just a ondemand scaner and a host file and parental controls and a webfilter and some tweaks,good firewall(windows)image program and you good to go
