What is your security setup these days?

You may like it. At least me do.

 

Using McAfee Antivirus that comes free with my Time Warner cable internet.

Any thoughts?

 

I've dumped Norton for the time being and am happy with what is in my signature.

Why? I feel like a change, also I disagree with Symantec's recommendation of disabling Windows Defender Limited Periodic Scanning.

I do not feel any less secure and my machines do seem to be more responsive with WD than Norton. They aren't as busy while idle now either.

After a while I also got sick of Norton detecting its own files as malicious.

New setup on my Vista
real-time:
- Outpost FW 2009 Free...a bit forgotten but I still have respect for its working
- GeSWall Free...small, effective and powerful app that is still "question mark" for me
on demand:
- Shadow Defender...from years as the rock-solid base of my protection and only one app that is in each one my setup
- EEK and Crystal Security for periodical scan

 

GeSWall is nice but only x32 bit OS

Hi Colorado13: don't know whether one should expand on this too much in this thread but I'll try. I'm still learning about these add-ons, I leave settings mostly at default for NoScript and use relatively few lists in uBlock Origin. Because Windows antivirus is good but not great, I keep both and so far, they look to be functioning independently of each other. Basically for NoScript: globally block Flash and Java, filter scripting and manage third party cookies, that's all I ask of it. I actually removed some default settings, don't remember which ones, sorry. Too much tweaking and you get an ugly, poorly functioning webpage, forcing you to undo all you did and start over.

Settings are configured to my browsing habits. Maybe one or the other is a better idea but both work for me with "less is more" configuration. Scans with AdwCleaner and HMP (big cookie finder) have been clean to date..

 

Thanks
