What is your security setup these days?

What's NVT?

 

No Virus Thanks (EXE Radar Pro)...

 

Thanks Kent I see other people refer to it as ERP, right? Or is that a different thing?

 

Same thing, and some may refer to it as NVTERP... All referring to the same software.

 

Thank you again mate!

 

Removed Ghostery and am trying Bitdefender TrafficLight in Chrome.

 

back to panda cloud, love the simplicity

 

WSA apparently doesn't play well with Avira or the other way around. WSA is gone in 1 day...

Aivra Free
K9 web protection

 

Thats odd.

WSA is designed to run alongside most av,s.

 

Very odd, I've been running these two together for a year and not seen any issues.

 

Thanks for the info

I'll give her a go soon

 

The issue might be that I had installed and uninstalled several AVs before Avira and WSA.

 

With the power of the mighty heavens, I resummon the PERFECT ILLUSION OF SANDBOXIE THE GREAT!!!

 

Changed to Comodo Internet Security 6.

 

Good Evening! Homeland Security...makes a return...WSA Security Plus...AppGuard...and Voodoo Shield! Sincerely...Securon

 

Did the same but went back to Ghostery when I noticed TL does not block trackers

 

Thanks for telling me, I assumed it did.

edit: I should have read more carefully how Bitdefender words it in their description of TL: "Identifies trackers that report on your browsing behavior
Trackers are code snippets included in website pages that track and analyze your browsing behavior. TrafficLight quickly identifies and lists them." Identifies and lists, but you are right atomomega, doesn't block.

Now trying DoNotTrackMe instead.

 

Is there any report of .msi installers/files being exploited or malicious?

 

good question! any answers?

 

Was running without an AV. Reinstalled MSE and will be keeping an eye on it

 

i am running this powerfull anti-executable and processguard my system in real time NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro v2.7.6

Home network (LAN) protection
01. Router (inbound) and Windows FireWall also blocking outbound applications

Admin space protection
02. Deny installation/elevation of unsigned drivers-activeX-PS1scripts/executables (GPO/UAC)
03. Memory exploit protection DEP/SEHOP/ASLR (system) and EMET 4 (explorer and 'user' applications)
04. Media Player Classic, Evince PDF-Reader, 7-ZIP, Chromium (unsigned) and Outlook (StripMyRights) run in LUA container

User space restrictions
04. SRP Deny execute for Basic Users for all files in user folders (installing software with right click 'run as Admin')
05. GPO Locked User configuration (FW-rules, logon, shell, command/scripts, com, HKCU autoruns/startup folder, task creation)

Threatgate mitigation
06. Deny execute for Everyone in (drive-by) download/internet/mail/media folders and (drive-in) USB through ACL/GPO

Why Media Player Classic ?
WMP and VLC = 0 vulnerabilities and are also protected by ExploitShield.

 

WMPC + VLC are both unsigned = advantage over WMP, can't elevate
WMPC starts much faster than VLC
I use it only for music since we have a tablet connected to our NAS with all pictures

 

OK.
