What is your security setup these days?

@hqsec any reason to removed Sbie?

 

Nothing special. I try different security combinations to see what's best for me. Since I don't install much software anymore I think that I can use SRP to tighten my security setup.
What bothers me with SBIE is:
1. a slight slowdown with programs launching inside SBIE (not much but still noticeable)
2. system and programs updates sometimes create new problems and SBIE has to be updated. Right now I prefer trouble-free security setup.
I know that my security is not that "tight" without SBIE, but with my computing habits I think my system is still safe.

 

Yes if you have safe habits no need much security softs

 

@guest

So when I understand your signature correct you have ShadowDefender + Sandboxie + ExeRadar + AppGuard on laptop 1 and ShadowDefender + Sandboxie + VoodooShield on laptop2. I Guess laptop 2 is for safe habits browsing because you only got three security applications

 

absolutely, laptop 2 is a mini-laptop with less resources so i don't want slow it down with real-time security softs i don't really need on it.
laptop 1 is the one with more power and i have a Vbox installed on it , so i need to tighten it more.

btw , you can just click the signature to see the full setup

 

Good Morning! Must be my second cup of coffee kicking in... because the following apps will induce Shock and Awe...into any Malware Intrusion! AppGuard...WSA Security Plus...and ESET S.S.7...Homeland Security Mk8...If you align the Product Icons...that stands for AWE! Lol!...Sincerely...Securon

 

Securon....homeland security?....ESET....is....from.....Slovakia....
Cheers, mate!

 

Good Morning! I know siketa...when I deal with ESET...I contact San Diego ...ESET'S...North American Head Office...but due to the Products Incredible Reliability this is extremely rare ! So from my perspective they're N.American based...and the NSA...is also in agreement...Lol! Sincerely...Securon

 

Some facts, and just the facts here..

1) ESET was one of the 'first' to respond to the open letter asking about state sponsored malware, and if they detect them. Eset response was - they DO detect them, and would absolutely never whitelist any of them - NSA included.

2) ESET as stated they fall outside the laws of the US Govt, and do not collect personal data;

3) ESET is leading the push to show how rampant, and illegal NSA spying is HURTING business.

Overall, I would say you are pretty safe. Webroot on the otherhand, has claimed they do not harvest personal data, and have no knowledge of customers data, or anything else. However the AVC report clearly shows Webroot knows *EVERYTHING* about a computer you have it installed on. So I would be really worried to be running that - wouldn't you?

 

I don't know if ESET uses any partners for the Malware data, but I do know that they work with 3'rd party partners on the Phishing data that is being updated every 20min. And afaik Opera for it's malware blocking in the browser used data from Yandex last I heard.

 

Yandex is good. Opera wasn't all that hot for malware blocking, but recent versions have become quite remarkable. A quick check over at MDS seems to show Opera itself is blocking 80%+ of the Malware Domains!

 

I have been without scotty for awhile now, but had the urge to bring him back
The rest is the same in sig...

 

MBAM....gonzo

Running MBAE, EIS, Appguard, thats all, thats it. Let the slimy malware try to get thru this combo.

*** Yandex too many FP.

 

Possibly a lot of dead websites in that 1.2 billion (1,200,000,000?)

 

Domain clusters. A single website may resolve to dozens of IP addresses through redirections and such. So if a spammer is 122.22.22.22, a good blocking system is to block - for example, 122.22.22.22 through 122.22.22.100 or whatever. That's why the IP addresses contain far more than actual websites themselves.

 

The usual trouble-free experience:

ESET NOD32
Window Firewall Control
NVT EXE Radar Pro
EMET

 

Do you guys have any recommendation for a full lockdown software that's free or cheap?

For a server for a specific purpose, I need something like Appguard - where I can basically put it in lockdown mode, and forget about it. No updates, no downloads, no nothing. It has to be lean, and mean, because it isn't a powerful server with a lot of CPU. Is there such a beast out there that is free or exceptionally cheap?

 

AppGuard on sale through June 2: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/appguard-4-x-32-64-bit.355206/page-55#post-2373880

 

That's what I'm talking about. Thanks. This is perfect.. 1 license, cheap customer, cheap computer - problem solved - full lockdown.

 

FWIW. Here's some more info about how Yandex checks websites and their partnership with Sophos: http://company.yandex.com/technologies/antivirus_technology.xml

 

This is really impressive! No wonder Opera ALONE has been so effective at blocking Malware domains. This was fairly recent, Opera wasn't nearly this good until recently. Now I can run Opera on a machine with nothing else, hit 2-3 dozen Malware Domains, and find the majority blocked. That's a great security layer! I hear Yandex has this in their browser as well, but I haven't tried it.

 

Yandex browser also uses Kaspersky to scan downloads.
"Every file you download will also be scanned for viruses by Kaspersky."
Pretty neat.
