What is your security setup these days?

Yes, a few here and there, but avast! either picked up the threat, or it just ran in Sandboxie, without effecting the system.

K9 plays a big role though, it does a pretty darn good job at blocking malware links.

 

Running sig right now... but just uncomfortable to see 10+ processes dedicated to security!

 

Nothing to worry about unless you have 10 years old PC.

 

Yes thats right and surprised Qihoo runs quite well.

 

AFAIK per the upgrade they consider major.

 

just upgraded appguard to version 3.5

 

I turned off EXE Radar Pro and I'm trying out AppLocker again. I used it for a while before but ran into issues. I saw one of Watt's posts about using task scheduler to create AppLocker alerts and I think this should help out a lot. We'll see how it goes.

 

Exactly what I've done recently. By these alerts I found out that AL was blocking some apps and it was the reason that OS was freezing at shutdown/hibernation. To view the logs I created filter in the Event Viewer (you can export it as well as the task sheduler alert task) for ID 8004-8007 to simplify examining logs.

 

Good Evening! Msr Monge...I currently also use AppGuard...and it states I have the latest version 3.4. 2.0...went to the Blue Ridge website and it comfirms the same Version...Where did you download the app from? Sincerely...Securon

 

just install Shadow Defender 1.2
note:i heard there is a beta 1.3 for shadow defender
@securon i sent you the link for appguard 3.5 sincerely.....jmonge

 

KIS 2014 is out...have to try it.

 

Windows 8 Pro 64bit
DD-WRT Router - no wifi
OA Premium + EAM
Appguard on Lockdown
Sandboxie
Firefox with Lastpass, NoScript, WOT (block all unknown/poorly rated sites), Adblock Plus, Flash is my only plugin.
OpenDNS

Would EMET/VoodooShield/EXE Radar pro be of any use to me? I'm under the impression from looking around that Appguard does what EMET does but I have no idea if the other two would be worthwhile.

 

Oh, so like AppGuard's licensing policy then. Thanks BTW.

 

Good Evening ! Took advantage of the F-Secure A/V offer...in tandem with WSA Security Plus. Sincerely...Securon

 

i have a licence for kaspersky so i may try KIS 2014

@ZeroDay thanks alot man for info,i want to give it a try this weekend i like how kasperky blocks untrusted applications in real time

 

one of my computers is getting slow alot with only shadow defender,i dont have to much ram(memory)maybe that is why,it is 512 mb
also is there a way to exclude windows updates or will that open a whole in the shadow defender's protection

 

I'm running the same exact setup.

I like it as well

 

take a wild guess

 

Uhhhhh...SpyBot?

 

I was thinking Norton
