What is your security setup these days?

hi

this is my security setup:

Avira Antivir Premium
Comodo 3 (paranoid mode)
Superantispyware free + MABM (only on demand)
Prevx CSI

Sandboxie (for browser & emule)
Firefox with noscript,adblockplus, WOT

byez

 

Agree 100%.

(I guess some peoples should not surf every day on p0rn sites.... )

Sure, every week a different Online Antivirus Scan...... Panda, Kaspersky, Trendmicro etc.

 

Don't you get sick of the multiple pop-ups in paranoid mode? I find that Pro-active Security + Clean PC mode quieter after an initial flurry.

 

On my newest PC:

Active:
1. NOD32 3.x (BlackSpears Recommended Settings)
2. Sandboxie (Paid) (All web browsers forced to Sandbox. Only web browsers, Windows Media Player, and Sun Java allowed to run in Sandbox. Delete Sandbox on web browser closure. When lastest version is officially released I will enable the new LUA option.)
3. SpywareBlaster
4. MVPS Hosts (Managed with HostXpert)
5. McAfee SiteAdvisor Free
6. Windows XP SP3 Firewall

On Demand Scan:
1. SuperAntiSpyware Free
2. a2free 4.0 (False Positives annoy me but I like to have another opinion. If I suspect a false positive I upload the file to VirusTotal.)
3. AVZ Antiviral Toolkit (Rare Use. Maximum Heuristics and Notify Only.)

Backup:
1. Image for Windows/DOS (System Partition) (Montly DVD B/U, Weekly Internal Hard Drive B/U)
2. SyncBack Free (File Backup to RAID1 Server)

I may install Microsoft Windows Defender later but I don't know if I would benefit from installing it.

I may add MyWot linkscanner later.

 

Comodo with Defense+ (Safe Mode)
Avira Antivir Free
Sandboxie (only use it for programs I don't trust)
Spywareblaster (Everything turned on)
SUPERAntiSpyware


Are there any changes I should commit? or is this setup "good enough" some constructive criticism would be nice, if you have any that is !

 

Im trying avira antivirus. So far its going well. Ive been testing it and I like it so far. Im keeping it! Im also keeping Sandboxie but right now Im going to try KeyScramble.

 

Your setup is just fine.

 

sandboxie is good

 

Running everything in my signature,

no problems, no worries

 

Here is my setup :

-NOD32 3.x (blackspear's rules)
-Comodo fw (paranoid + safe mode )
-Superantispyware free
-Argente diskcleaner + registry cleaner
-Firefox 3.0 ( WOT + noscript + adblock + cookiesafe + keyscrambler plugin)


Thx to cybermachi & ges/por for the help.

Any suggestion ?

Thx

 

my set up is on my signature. Is it good or is it an overkill?

 

Thanks jmonge!

 

Windows XP Pro SP3

LUA + SRP + SuRun 1.2.0.5
DEP Enabled for All Files
Avira AntiVir Personal
Sandboxie 3.33.09

Firefox - Shiretoko w/ Noscript

Linksys WRT54GL w/ Tomato firmware

I also dual boot Ubuntu 8.10 now just for fun.

Pretty solid I would think.

 

if kav is the free release, i think you should better take avira antivir free test here or here
about outpost it seems to be good but you have stronger product in free version test here

For the rest i never tried it but many pple use it here i guess its good

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok new setup for me i wanted to have a full free setup:

Real time:
-Antivir personnal FREE
-Comodo fw (safe mode + paranoid) FREE
-keyscrambler FREE

On-demand:
-SAS FREE
-MBAM FREE
-Argente disk cleaner + registry cleaner FREE

Browser :
Firefox 3.x (adblock + cookiesafe + noscript + wot ).

I'm looking for an real time protection against malware spyware hips.... any idea for a free program ?

Thx
-

 

SpywareTerminator, DriveSentry, Spybot Search & Destroy, BoClean Anti Malware

 

Choose between Edge and DriveSentry - choose between SAS and MBAM

 

spyware terminator is good and free. spybot search and destroy is good, but I don't think the free version offers realtime protection. I don't know about drive sentry.

I suspect the effectiveness of boclean as a malware protection software since it is from comodo. Comodo's firewall is good, but I heard from many people saying that comodo's antivirus and antimalware's are not good.

Thanks,
Balaji.

 

i didnt know that there is a paid version of spybot search and destroy

 

I don't know either, but the free version doesn't offer realtime protection to my knowledge.

Thanks,
Balaji.

 

i think but not sure 100% but there is an option called teatimer that acts like a real time shield i never use it but thats what i read about it

 

Yes, that seems pretty tight

 

On 3 desktops and 3 laptops: NIS2009, TrojanHunter 5, WinPatrol Plus, Secunia PSI. All machines backed up with Retrospect and covered with FD-ISR, documents revision archived with AJCActiveBackup.

Two desktops (my kids' machines) run frozen with FD-ISR and browsers forced into SandboxIE.

Trying out the $8.69 year of Mamutu on my own desktop and trying out SandboxIE and 30-day trial of Shadow Defender on my own laptop.

Been gone from Wilders for awhile, so I'm trying to get caught up on the latest and greatest and how they best fit me. Hopefully, I'm not too far behind.

 

welcome back and you are in the correct path

 

Thanks!

 

How does TH fair against malware?
