What is your security setup these days?

My New sig is: Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 , Malwarebytes 2.02 , Hitmanpro.

 

I suggest WSA.

 

Welcome to Kaspersky! I won't deploy it, ever. Far too many issues, and instabilities, and untested versioning.

 

If you are going to be using Sandboxie, not using Kaspersky is a good idea. Right this moment, a few of Kaspersky features conflict with SBIE.

I don't face any conflicts between KAV and SBIE at this time, can you give me more details ?

 

There is more but this is enough: From a few days ago.

There is the school of thought for folks who prefer to run an AV alongside SBIE (I count myself in that group), that says Sandboxie is doing all the heavy lifting, so the onus is no longer on finding the very best AV to supplement it. Just find something respectable and focus on the compatibility part of your need, and you will be fine.

I have run VIPRE along with SBIE for years. Test results place VIPRE somewhere in the mid to top range in detections, and that is okay with me. I intend to switch over to NOD32 in the Fall when my VIPRE subscription runs out. Point being, VIPRE or NOD32, I don't really care too much which one... it's just an AV that is along for the ride.

Sandboxie is like paint. It covers a multitude of sins.

 

Update: running 3 antivirus + MBAE realtime+ Sandboxie . No BSOD so far . Boot time unchanged.

 

Yes , I like SBIE and I am trying to find AV compatible with it , also I still have a valid license for NOD32 AV and I was using it just before KAV 2014 .. but when I saw the last AV tests and the high level of protection of KAV and EAM I thought I may test one of them

 

Lol, what are you trying to achieve?

Block critical Windows components from running. You'll get one.

 

I asked that to myself, maybe more products = better protection

 

Security products create a sort of OCD in neophytes. Where the idea that more is better seems to come up.. If 1 pill fixes an issue, surely 3 will fix it better! Ignoring MED principle (minimal effective dose) which applies to virtually everything. Whereas ONE GOOD security product mitigates potentially 98-99% of every threat they will ever encounter. But that's 'stack' crap, to ensure that last 1% which we will never see MAY be covered. It's bordering on insanity.

To think that merely installing Appguard would eliminate virtually 100% of all issues, you could stack 'JoeBobs Antivirus' with it for absolute protection and have no issues. To read these guys that stack 3, 4, even 8-12+ products is pretty ludicrous. But this happens on all neophyte type forums. Head over to a 'car buff' forum, and see outrageous car customizations, where virtually none of them improve any aspect of the vehicle, but people insist on stacking them. Or over to some tattoo/body altering forums, and see 'extreme' examples everyday of people that just don't know when to quit.

 

Yes, high level of protection can sometimes bring some problems. I prefer to have an AV that is trouble free, even if it doesn't achieve 100% at various tests.
ESET and SBIE are compatible and you probably shouldn't have any problems running them together. There's a little problem of sent Outlook mails not being scanned when Outlook is under SBIE protection, but all files get scanned when attached to mail, so this shouldn't be an issue.

 

agree with you on this one

 

this is my very best combo so far I have NVT in lockdown mode

 

I checked the links , one issue with KES and the other with PURE ,

Till now I have no issue with virtual keyboard , no issue with sandboxed applications also.

 

Maybe I can configure NOD32 to get higher level of protection ?

 

You could enable Advanced heuristics in real-time scanner, but I don't think it's worth risking any troubles. In last AV-Comparatives real time test Kaspersky achieved 99,8% and Eset 99,0% detection rate. IMO this difference is negligible.

 

Yes, also I like the lightness of NOD32, maybe I should reinstall it and throw KAV as soon as possible..

 

Stop quoting me and making it looks like I'm in the process of flaming, people! >=V

Anyway, enabled EasyList and EasyPrivacy filters in HTTPSB.

 

It's very good out of the box so to speak. What you can do is to make sure that the detection settings for Potentially Unwanted, Potentially Unsafe, and Suspicious applications is enabled in the setup-tree.

Don't worry about the test results look at them with a pinch of salt. A 100% detection rate in a test doesn't mean the product will detect 100% of the malware that exists.

 

On demand detection tests don't mean a thing unless the product does far worse than most others.

 

I got webroot and NVT ERP in lockdown mode and it looks and feels light and fast

 

I'm amazed of short vision people thinking they know everything and especially they KNOW that this 1% will never byte 'em - so pathetic and naive. This 1% is black swan event if you like AND IT HAPPENS. So, dream on and think you know everything.

 

Real-life satire is the best.
