What is your security setup these days?

Vista Home Premium (32)

Realtime : Comodo Internet Security, Threatfire.

On Demand : SAS and MAM.

 

Edge Guard Solo
EQSecure

 

how is edgeguard solo?

What does it really do?

 

[Active]
Defensewall HIPS 2.45
DEP Always On
Vista Firewall
UAC On

[On-Demand]
AVZ Anti-Virus Utility 4.30
Dr.Web CureIt!

This is the best setup I ever used.
I think it will be almost perfect after the skin migration of DW.

 

ACTIVE:
Router with NAT
Avira AntiVir Personal - Free
Online Armor Firewall (paid)

On-demand:
ShadowDefender (paid)
MBAM (free)
SAS (free)

 

OhMy and Creer, good light setups there! Creer, you should try the AVZ tool, great program.

[Active]
Avast!
Sandboxie
Vista Firewall Control
DEP Always On

[On-Demand]
Shadow Defender (Paid)
AVZ Anti-Virus Utility 4.30
Norman Malware Cleaner

This no fun, not even one single cookie to be eaten!

 

CIS without antivirus,antivir premium

on demand MBAM,SAS

MVPS hosts file,Opera as my default browser.

 

it is not finish yet,it needs alot of work,it protects apps such as internet explorer.it is similar to defensewall,but note:
defensewall is fully develop and fancy application,easy to use an
d effective too.edgeguard is imcomplete

 

hopefully i like my new set up

DriveSentry
EdGeGuard Solo

 

Trying out this setup.

Avira Antivir premium
Comodo IS (firewall only)
Sandboxie

Is it recommend to set the firewall n Defense+ to safe??
And i must turn off the windows firewall when i installed comodo firewall right?

 

If you have a brand new machine or know for a fact that your system is clean, you could set D+ to Clean PC Mode, or if you would like more control of what happens to Safe Mode. If you would like even more control then set it to paranoid mode.

You can set the firewall to Safe Mode (which comes by default, I think) or to Custom if you like to chose.

Disable windows firewall.

 

ok thx for the explaination

i think i will set D+ to safe mode

 

thats the way i had it before when testing with no problems.
note:this firewall impress me alot,lots of features with the hips funtion and firewall very strong

 

ok now is drivesentry and zemana Antilogger.
note:dont like antilogger that much
may be tomorrow replace it with defencewall hips

 

i think you probably noticed i changed my security software very often ,now so far the software that i like alot are as follow:EQSecure,DriveSentry,DefenseWall Hips and Malware Defender.also comodo firewall pro
note:i like comodo firewall pro alot but dont need it,dont need defense+,cause drivesentry covers that and the firewall too dont need it cause both DefenseWall Hips and MalWare Defender are very soon incorporating a kind of outbound protection,so dont need any or comodo firewall.for inbound protection is windows firewall.

the ones that i didnt like:Online armor,sandboxie,geswall,antilogger,ForceField,EdgeGuard Solo,BufferZone,SpyWare Terminator,Spybot Search and Destroy,and much more

 

Down to Look'n'Stop and DefenseWall as my active defense.
Thinking of adding Malware Defender again. Just waiting to see what the new version will bring.

 

the promise is the developer is adding outbound protection.

new set up
Zemana Antilogger 1.2

 

Windows XP Professional

Real-Time:
KAV 7 (changing to Avira Premium soon)
Mamutu <----- NEW

On-Demand:
SAS
MBAM <----- NEW

I find my setup to be pretty effective and decently light, after i switch my AV to Avira Premium, that will probably be my final setup

 

Thanks a lot for keeping this thread alive. I'm learning a lot, although and old dog, and learning is becoming harder in this busy age.

Current setup along with criteria:

WinXP Pro SP3 / with SPI firewall and NAT-mode router (to block almost all non-solicited incoming from WAN)

Hardening + Tweaking
+ BlkViper Service pruning (to disable unneccessary security holes)
+ SeconfigXP (basic tweaks, partly redundant)
+ Windows Worms Doors Cleaner (service tweaks, as above)
+ Harden-IT (further tweaks for network level)
+ Secure-IT (DHTML, ActiveX and MSHTA security tweaks)
+ XP-Antispy (basic tweaks to WMP, Sharing, IE, Services)
+ SpywareBlaster (browser immunization)
+ Spybot S&D Immunize (browser immunization, HOSTS part not used)
+ Self compiled HOSTS file from various sources

Real-Time
+ Avira Antivir Premium (heuristics at medium for balance of detection vs FP)
+ ThreatFire (level 4)
+ Look'n'Stop FW + phantom ruleset

On-Demand
+ SandBoxie (to run non-trusted apps)
+ Bitdefender 10 Free
+ Malwarebytes Anti-malware
+ SuperAntiSpyware
+ Spybot S&D
+ Jotti / VirusTotal / virus.org / Norman Sandbox for web-testing

Browser
+ FF3 series (works for me, fast enough)
+ Noscript add-on (with a huge list of not-allowed sites)
+ Adblock Plus add-on (as above)
+ Perspectives add-on (for https certificate checking)
+ Proxomitron client side proxy (for cleaning a lot of crap out of web pages)

I like my systems fast and sweet. The above is not as fast anymore with ThreatFire installed, but before that it was really, really fast on modern hw.

 

I just restored an image and finally got the strategy in place:
1-XP Home to pseudo-Pro with the PCWELT scripts;
2-SRP in place, 1 unlimited admin account (edited the registry to show the account on login), 1 LUA SuRunner and 1 Guest.
3-DEP "AlwaysOn" (actually i forgot that..)
4-Avast! most of the time on.
5-Firefox with NS, Perspectives, CS and RefControl.

Thinking of CFP with basic firewall just so i can monitor. That would be 2 third party security programs.

Total ~1 hour for everything. Back to Debian

 

Home computer

Windows Vista premium home

My current setup is in limbo. Waiting on the Golden Bullet." "Sigh"

 

Taking Vipre for a spin.

 

And Vipre is gone.......

 

Hmmmm that didn't take long....not even a full half hour.
