Added NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro to Sandboxie and AppGuard.
Added MBAM on-demand in place of ESET Online Scanner.
Added Norton ConnectSafe in place of OpenDNS
Added Avast Online Security Chrome extension in place of WOT.
Turned off UAC.

 

Happy tenth anniversary to this thread.

Now:
Firewall & Anti-Virus
Router NAT/SPI (Password Protected)
Emsisoft Internet Security 11.0.0.5984

Blocking/Hardening
AppGuard 4.2.8.1
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium 1.08.1.1045
Norton ConnectSafe DNS (Malware, Phishing)

Then (10 years ago):
Linksys Router RT31P2 (hardware firewall)
Outpost Pro Firewall 3.0.557.5918 (437)(real-time spyware protection enabled)

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.390 (extended database enabled)
UnHackMe 2.5

DiamondCS ProcessGuard 3.150
DiamondCS WormGuard 3
RegDefend 2.001 (with custom Ghost Files from Kent and Tony Klein)
WinPatrol 9.8.1.0

SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4 (Immunize enabled)
SpywareBlaster 3.4 (and Custom Blocking List: http://koti.mbnet.fi/pattaya1/swb3.htm 12/13/05)
MVPS Hosts File (12/12/05)(Hosts File Manager Version 1.0.1.2 & HostsMan 1.2)
IE-SPYAD (12/12/05)

FraudEliminator 2.3 anti-phishing toolbar (for IE6)
C/Cleaner 1.26.218
MRU-Blaster 1.5

 

Software running all the time:

-Emsisoft Internet Security v11
-Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) Premium

on Windows 10 x64 Pro

I guess this is sufficient..?

Wonder whether additionally HitmanPro offers anything on top.
Or the combo of Emsisoft+HitManPro (instead of MBAM)

=

 

Nano Antivirus(http://www.nanoav.ru/) has gone final and running great

 

I would make EIS + HitmanPro. HitmanPro offers additional scan engines.

Or you can try EIS + MBAE. EIS has fairly good detection to add other scanners.

 

@Solarlynx thank you!
Coincidentally, I just went on searching on Internet "hitman pro vs malwarebytes 2015" and there is a lot of discussion about these two
as 'additional' to an existing AV product. Did not realize this to be honest... I guess it is about 50/50. Many say HitmanPro many others advise MBAM.

I found a nice overview of these products on http://www.techsupportall.com/malwarebytes-vs-hitman-pro/

where at the bottom MBAM is given some preference over HitmanPro, although, based on the paid versions I see that HitmanPro, whilst using multiple engines
and it does include Rootkit detection and the license of all HitmanPro products, incl. HitmanPro.Alert - HMP may be slightly ahead of MBAM.

Regretfully there are recent youtube clips showing detection ratio.
The one that showed up, revealed that
Hitman Pro has 100% detection/deleted
SuperAntiSpyware: 56.8% (432 files left)
Malwarebytes: 70.8% (292 files left)

As for the price, I think MBAM is a litte more expensive
MBAM: 1 PC, 1 Year : eur.22.70
MBAM: 3 PC, 1 year : eur.41,95
MBAM: 3 PC, 2 years: eur. 67,95
HMP : 1 PC, 1 Year : eur. 19.95
HMP : 3 PC, 1 Year : eur.29.95
HMP : 3 PC, 3 Years: eur.59.95

MBAM has no 3 years offer, but their 2 years is already more expensive then HMP 3 years.

Guess, I need to continue with some further checking...

@x ZauX x

Is there English version? Post #37335 And online scanner? What engines?

@wiwul

What about Zemana AntiMalware? Which detection is better at worms that MBAM & HMP!
In cruelsister video!

Looking to replace MBAM any suggestions?

 

Now using.

Avira (Free).

Malwarebytes (Free).

The firewall that comes with Windows7.

Always,
Wildman

 

LOL, thanks for the heads up, I didn't even notice it, but this thread has become truly legendary, congrats! And funny to take a look at old setups, DiamondCS was truly one of the pioneers back in the days. It introduced me to HIPS and Wilders Security, also together with SSM, which I used even before Process Guard, I believe on Win 98 SE.

 

I dont think mbam will catch as much as Eset would. Imo

 

Yes there is, on their website in the right top corner theres a language switch. Not sure about the online scanner, but i guess it's their own engine.

 

Panda Antivirus Free
Glasswire Network Security

Recently Added
Emsisoft Emergency Kit

 

There is also this comparision
Youtube: Quicktest:Hitman pro vs SuperAntiSpyware vs Malwarebytes
https://youtu.be/oO-8JKTTeKY

with this as a final result.

SURELY...
Surely one can debate on the test method.
To me, as non-expert..., it seems that all 3 products are at least compared on the same set of malware
with Hitman Pro outperforming the rest.
Due to more engines? I don't know.

 

Changed Online Armor for Windows 10 Firewall Control (Sphinx-Soft) free. So far so good. The name of the FW is a bit misleading as it's not only for Windows 10. I like it asks if to allow outbound connections.

 

Probably, but Emsisoft Emergency Kit should cover it and MBAM might find other kinds of threats. I recently added Zemana AntiMalware as an on-demand scanner for the same reason.

 

Considering adding AirVPN to what's on my sig, but I was wondering :
- whether there would be any compatibility issue with OPF, EAM and AG ;
- whether the benefits it adds over what DnsCrypt already does would be worth the price.

 

Thanks for the advice

 

On the main computer Paid Zemana Anti-Malware and Paid AdGuard. Nothing else with WD disabled in Windows 10

 

Zemana Anti-Malware + Open DNS +µBlock (Chrome) + MBAE Premium + Windows 10 SmartScreen + UAC tweaks + Hardened settings.

I hate setups that are heavy or that ask too much from the user, so this kind of setup is perfect for someone like me.

 

My setup on Windows 10:

Windows Defender
MBAE Free
EMET (browsers removed, because mbae protects them)
Avira Browser Safety (Firefox)
Norton Connectsafe DNS
HitmanPro Free
MBAM Free

Also using standard user account and only use admin if i install something.

 

My setup on Win 8 (64 bit) Admin Account.

Resident:

Chrome + uBlock Origin
Windows Firewall + Router
UAC Max
