    Changed my desktop to translate DW in Dutch, so saved fun setup image and now running on E5200@3,06 Ghz 2GB Ram XP Pro SP3 desktop

    Realtime
    - Windows firewall, on Wireless clients the SSID and Router MAC address is preset in wireless card adaptor (this to assures adaptor only binds with Router)
    - DefenseWall paid (also protected USB, CD-DVD, automatic clean up rollback)
    - Avira Beta 9 Free version, enabled Proactive (- medium): Scanner (optimised scan plus check on rootkits before scan, heuristics low, unattended removal) Guard (heuristics high, check on all files at write only)
    - Keyscrambler free for IE8 (only icon display)

    We do online-shopping/banking with IE8 (XSS filter on, smart screen filter check before on-line shopping) daily browsing with Chromium (has an internal policy sandbox)

    On demand
    - OSAM
    - Panda Anti-rootkit
    - Fsecure Blacklight
    - Process Hacker

    Basic security level (application level security is futile when you have not taken precautions on network and data level)
    - external off line harddisk image backup/recover with Paragon Free, data backup/recovery with Syncback Free
    - router
    a) partitioned LAN (no traffic between clients - we have a gamer in da house, which is not allowed to access other PC's)
    b) Wireless longest key WPA2 AES,
    c) SSID hidden, new WL clients need a PIN to connect also, changed (ADMIN/USER passwords, IP address of router, name of network)
    d) MAC Address control
    e) DHCP reservation (clients get same IP addres based on Mac Addres)
    f) Network filter on used clients, other IP addresses are dropped
    g) Inbound filter on our own IP addresses (so internal IP addresses from WAN side blocked)
    h) ARP Spoof checking, DDOS/flood attack protection, no respond to Ping from Wan side enabled, UPnP disabled, SPI enabled (limited DPI with Network filter)
    i) Added OpenDNS primary and secondary servers in router (enabled phising protection in OpenDNS, disabled it in IE8 )

    nomarjr3, You removed Rollback Rx and bought a lic for EAZ-Fix, just wondering why? I thought they were basically the same.

    My license for Rollback RX finally expired.

    I had to renew my license, so I settled for the cheaper EAZ-Fix.

    Yes, it's the same thing. But different programmers.

    I wonder does EAZ-Fix work on Windows 7?

    Removed all my on-demand scanners, and settled for Avira 9 for real-time protection against malware.

    Coupled with OSS, I think it's a solid combo.

    Actually, all my browsers and IMs are sandboxed w/ Sandboxie lol
    I just don't put Sandboxie in my sig since it's a given for me.

    The others that Avira miss should probably be covered by OSS's HIPS.

    Avira Premium, Shadow Defender, Vista Firewall. Thats all except SAS as a on-demand scanner. With my Basic surf habbits consisting of Yahoo (weather & news), PowerBall Lottery ( to see who won my donation money), and Wilders Security Forums ( My personal favorite). And no unnecessary downloading. This setup should do me a long time.

    Both COMODO and Outpost have very good HIPS anti-leak technology, as proven by Matousec tests.

    Thanks! Yours is a nice setup too :thumb:
