What is your security setup these days?

Anyone using defensewall + exe radar?

 

Not currently, but I have used previous builds of the two together with out any apparent issues, at least none that that I could see. That was after of course making sure that ERP was Trusted within DefenseWall and everything associated with DefenseWall was allowed within ERP.
I should add that when I was done testing the two together, to remove ERP I simply reverted back with an image from a backup without ERP installed.

 

I'm using WSA beta. It rocks.

 

Yea that's what I was wondering...so I make ERP trusted in DW and I have already whitelisted DW in ERP and made the program files folder trusted and it should work fine after those adjustments?

 

Back when I tried that combo thats all I did to make sure they were compatible.

 

Great! Thanks

 

Using DefenseWall on my personal Lappie

 

AV + AM: Emsisoft Anti-Malware, Malwarebytes(all On-Demand)
Firewall + HIPS/Restrictions: Online Armor(Premium), Appguard
Virtualization + Sandboxing: VMware Workstation(o/d), Shadow Defender, Sandboxie(Paid).
Other: NoAutorun, KeyScrambler(Premium), Hostman(MVPS), KeePass, TrueCrypt.
Firefox: Adblock, NoScript with Request Policy

Droped EMET, WinPatrol and AVIRA
Added EAM, AppGuard

On first sight setup look heavily, but is ligh.
Only Online Armor is a bit heavy than rest programs together.

 

2 programs i really trust and are trouble free are appguard and emsisoft
Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8.1

just removed kaspersky cause started to blocks legit programs and slowed system down after a while when using the internet

 

I did the exact same thing and also added the new Online Armor (no slow-downs) .. ...believe me, I'm a long-time Kaspersky user....EAM with their new firewall runs very smooth.

 

KIS 2014 still not ready for prime time yet?
i recommend you try the following combo for windows 8.1

Emsisoft AntiMalware (free or paid no difference in this setup)---offline scanner
Webroot SecureAnywhere---Realtime (if Emsisoft antimalware is not paid this serves as a realtime module alternative)
Shadow Defender (exclude emsisoft folder, keep system drive in shadow mode)
Comodo Firewall 6.3 (make the changes following chiron's guide)
and make a disk backup using any reliable imaging software you fancy
i prefer Paragon products (paragon HDM Pro)
'cause your antivirus may fail, this will not.

or if you are still in windows 8/7
Avira Antivirus Premium
Comodo Firewall 6.3(make the changes following chiron's guide)
Shadow Defender
"Any" disk backup

p.s. you could try Bitdefender av 2014 it is marvellous and very compatible, but requires gigantic updates
avira is comparably lesser

 

thank you both for the recomendation
also I tried bitdefender is and it also trouble me

 

WSA is great.

 

wsa--malwarebytes free--Norton dns----windows 8

 

AppGuard trial (High)
HitmanPro

 

ABP + NS in Firefox
WSA
Win FW
SecurityKiss VPN
Geek Uninstaller
Drive Snapshot

The system feels light as a feather, strong as an ox.

 

Real Time:

Emsisoft + MBAM + Spyshelter Firewall with Key encryption enabled.

OnDemand

Hitman

 

wsa
malwarebytes free
Norton dns
------------
what security do I need to download torrents,movies,music and tv shows?

 

Tweak up WSA
a) Set heuristics and popularity to high for Internet
b) Set Firewall to warn for untrusted programs

Use a free private VPN to cover your tracks in case you 'accidently' violate DMR/IP
c) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmate-for-google-chrome/fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme

 

Time for something a little different. Took off an AV I've been using about a year and installed Privatefirewall and set up scheduled scans with MBAM and HitmanPro.

 

Very good advice. I recommend SecurityKiss.

 

Giving VPNBook with OpenVPN a try.

I'm liking it so far (Fast and so far reliable)

*EDIT* - Although the VPN works fine, I cannot use it...it appears to leak DNS information

Now I know why it's just best to buy a VPN service.

 

is utorrent any good?

 

Open VPN is good, i use it a lot.

 

How are you liking norton's dns and adblock?
