What is your security setup these days?

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010
Trojan Hunter

 

testing AppRanger 2.2

 

removed Avast IS beta due to a serious bug.

 

I will end the year with following setup:

Resident:
Asus router with SPI firewall
Windows XP firewall
Nod v. 3.0.695
System Safety Monitor v. 2.4.0.622

On demand:
Acronis True Image (monthly backup of system partition)
External WD HDD for monthly backup of user data
Various online scanners
Gmer
Ccleaner
...

This setup worked for me great during 2009. I hope it will be good for 2010 also.

 

removed defensewall 3,back to
online armor 4.0.0.15. i think it suits my setup better.
hopefully all bases are covered

 

Ditched defensewall because it was slowing down browsing w/ firefox. Is defensewall 3 still in beta? I might try that out instead.

 

Yes : http://gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97701

Added defenseWall v3 BETA today

 

Removed Counterspy Beta 4 and PC Tools Firewall Plus from my experimental machine. I am now on the hunt for a free antimalware tool to run with Panda Cloud.

 

Ance what do think about AVG firewall? is it a good one compared to the others like PCTOOLS ZA OA AGNITUM etc i mean is it safe?

 

I added Spywareblaster 4.2 to my experimental machine.

 

i am testing AppRanger alone and i noticed they havent develop a new version for long time now and it is not as lite as defensewall or sandboxie

 

i removed AppRanger and i added SandBoxie Pro let's test it ,
so far it looks nice and clean and lite

 

I think the firewall is ok like many others. There is no HIPS but AVG IS contains AVG Identity Protection. It's a silent setup without many pop ups and questions

 

thanks a lot

Back to Kaspersky. Latest updates have made it a jewel.

 

From where do you get such great avatars. The kaspersky one is really good.

 

Is it light than previous versions??
how much memory does it take??
Also CPU usage??

 

Does it slow down the browser in any way?

EDIT: Also, does it add entries to the host file?

 

No.
