    You should not use beta version cause it's still buggy.....wait for the final, stable version.

    They run very well together on my XP system (alongside Sandboxie).

    In case it was directed to me, I didn't edit your post in my quote. It's been like that when I read it yesterday. :blink:

    BTW, lol Click&Clean. It claims to scan for malware. Just no. I'll wait for about one more week for the next Dragon's update. If it's still not updated, I'll just use CCleaner with Chrome.

    IMO either AG or ERP is enough

    it depends how dangerous you are on the net or even family menbers clicking in unknown links :) if you consider your self safe surfer you should be ok with an antivirus an a firewall

    No change in this setup after a month, and will continue to run it for the forseeable future. Not a single breach on 6 machines, no infections, no PUPS. Clean as a whistle. Given the low cost of this kind of deployment, I think I will migrate this setup to clients as needed. It offers no system slowdowns, no processor hogs, and a very low incidence of false positives.

    Installed Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8.1, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75 PRO
    and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit on my mother's Windows 8.1.

    Same Security trio + HitManPro.Alert is used on my Windows 7.
    HitManPro is also installed, but it's on-demand scanner and
    i like to list realtime scanners.
    i have HMP license, but it's not activated, i wait HitManPro.Alert 3 to be released.

    I'm using what's in my sig.:)
     
  25. My Windows 7 Ultimate rules

    1. Only allow outbound access to specified applications (using Windows 7 firewall)

    2. Reduce attack service by disabling risk-ware
    a) Don't install Java when you don't need it
    b) Disable active desktop & desktop gadgets
    c) Disable unnecessary services (black viper)
    d) Disable remote services, access and assistance

    3. Protect the system using default mechanisms
    a) Block installation of unsigned drivers
    b) UAC only elevate signed and validated executables
    c) Use DEP, ASLR, SEHOP, heap termination on corruption
    d) Disable shared folders and network shares, disable execute file in public

    4. Reduce User-land risks:
    a) Deny Basic Users to install printer drivers
    b) Deny Basic Users to execute scripts (windows, VB, power)
    c) Remove write access permission to HKCU autoruns for Basic User
    d) Deny execute for Basic Users outside UAC-protected folders (install as admin)

    5. Harden vulnerable programs:
    a) Add group policy templates and use NSA advices (IE, Outlook, Adobe)
    b) Add EMET (set to full, e.g. deep hooks) applications mitigations
    c) Run internet facing programs in a Limited User environment
    d) Deny download/execution of programs in IE-zone

    6. Run browser (IE11) and (Adobe) plug-ins in protected mode

    7. Windows Image backup with data backup on NAS (and USB drive to backup the NAS)

    Regards Kees
