What is your security setup these days?

Trying out (again) Windows 8 on my laptop.

 

Back with avast 8 and comodo firewall v5...its a very nice combo indeed alongside sandboxie.
I feel quite secure with this configuration.

 

Yes, JoeBlack40 does.

 

So you are in the bandwagon again. Welcome.

 

for sure man

 

Still happy with my kevlar, btw eam rocks!

 

You already have MBAM so no need to look any further.

 

Thanks

Adder HMP.alert t o my real-time setup just for that little bit extra

 

Yes,me.At least until an hour ago...Avira free remains one of my favorite,but i noticed that after a while,my laptop begin to feel slow and less responsive,despite the fact that i have a pretty much powerful machine...so,as we speaking,i reverted to a clean backup image and i'm thinking what to install instead...

 

Good Afternoon! Hail...Hail...EAM 8.1...some cool new boffo updates with 8.1...in tandem with WSA Security Plus...HMP...& HMP Alert...and that's all folks! Sincerely...Securon

@JoeBlack40

Why not try Webroot SecureAnywhere for a change? Once you use it you'll never want to use another of those heavy AVs again.

 

Thanks for the suggestion,but i highly doubt about the never part
For now i reverted to BitDefender AV Plus,Privatefirewall and Sandboxie.
And seriously thinking about tryin' 360 IS....

 

Greetings! Gave Online Armor Premium a try...in tandem with EAM 8.1 and AppGuard...no issues...but not a keeper...now back to EAM and AppGuard only...EAM set to "scan only programs before they are executed". Sincerely...FleischmannTV

 

go ahead Joe and give 360 a shot. You wont regret it.

Yeah what he said. It really is a great little program.

 

Reinstalled and happy to report that it now works with Sandboxie supervised browser.

Rest of configuration is in signature:

 

The browser protection doesn't work in sandboxie. In fact you actually have to run browser disabled with sandboxie to even install the browser protection.

 

It works as far as detecting the Eicar test file before being downloaded.
(Firefox (23.0.1) run within Sandboxie (4.04)

So, do you mean the URL blocking/filtering doesn't work?

 

Yes the URL filtering/Browser protection. Doesn't work when last checked. I'm ok with that since I have K9 web filter.

 

Do you have a URL I could use to test on my system?
(I'll disable Adblock Plus and DNS filter if they alert first.)

If it doesn't work I'll probably just disable the Q360 URL filtering to save resources.

 

can you help me pick a good antivirus and behavior blocker for a new computer, I want my computer to be as much safe as possible, while not having a HUGE impact on performance.

 

Emsisoft would be a great choice imo
