What is your security setup these days?

KIS is lighter then Norton in browsing IMO

 

CPU and memory usage??

 

I agree, the avatars are great

 

On one 32 bit and the 64 bit one, I installed with web protection. It doesnt slow IE8 down a bit. And trust me, I would tell you if it did. On the other 32 bit I did not install web browsing but use the sandbox full time and it is also very fast. I really like that setup.

Avatars? Google Images Lol

 

Woo my first post on Wilders

Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

UAC = Off
W/fw = Off
W/d = Off

Resident

● Hitman Pro 3.5 Paid
● A-Squared Free

Do you guys think this is overkill?...I was thinking of removing MBAM...good idea?

to me your set up is very good indeed,if it doesnt slow you down why not

 

testing this beast with my browser,windows live messenger and media player set to run safer and block direct disk acces it is very lite better than the 3.5 version so far

 

I'd personally remove A-Squared free because you have Hitman Pro.

 

does any body knows how the cookie cluter works in online armor?also if i have the keylogger option on do i still need keyscramber?and also my browser is set to run safer

 

You could go with just Kaspersky and one other (prevx or MBAM) for real-time, otherwise all good. You'll find though, although everything is running perfectly, hanging out on here you'll convince yourself you need to change setups. Probably just out of interest. After a few slowdowns/crashes later, and several uninstalls, you'll probably return to your first setup, only to be tempted to change again, and repeat the cycle.

 

Very true

 

hmm, which browser?

from my point of view - let Firefox decide. itself has powerful options to prevent
tracking cookies or other like that. to prevent power cookies by flash - dont
use flash. there is also an extension for firefox - above the privat mode.

(latest 1.46 here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/6623#version-1.46 )

in worst case external software can cause failure on the profile(s).

 

Back to avast IS v5.0.332 running really well

 

Kaspersky is bit lighter than norton in terms of CPU usage

 

when Avast will be released. waiting for months

 

They have only stated after holidays and early 2010 so I assume that they might release in Feb. Who knows when they are thinking of releasing. They have released new version 5.0.332 for both free and AIS which has fixed many bugs.

 

back to Prevx

 

No it actually seems quite fast but MBAM seems to use quite a lot of memory, thats why i was thinking about removing it

For now i will keep it because even though Hitman Pro uses A-Squared engine it doesn't scan inside archives and it only scans .exe and .dll ect ect...well for now anyway

i was running online armor but after a day of using it i started to noticed a slow down for my browser and i saw a lot of dr watson errors and i was running it only with keyscrambler so decided to removed it and replace it with PE Guard 1.2

 

Changed from Dr.Web+XP Firewall to avast5+GesWall+XP Firewall

 

Dr. Web creating problems

 

Yes, for the first time in 3 years. Random NTFS errors during scanning and random "virus database failed" errors when starting the scanner. My HD is fine and passed all tests done by the samsung bootable diagnostics program. They can't help me at all with this.

 

made some changes
now running DefenseWall Personal FireWall v3 Beta and SandBoxie 1.42 and Mbam ondeman

 

How are you running the two together

 

just simple way defensewall is not sandbox by sandboxie but defensewall will auto unttrust sanboxieRpcSs.exe and sandboxieDcomLaunch to avoid conflicts or when terminate the sandbox or stop attack no problems at all
