My set-up is fairly basic ~

Router (Hub) Firewall.
McAfee NetProtect Plus (free with my ISP).
McAfee Site Advisor (plug-in works in *Firefox)
Windows Defender.
SpywareBlaster.
SUPERAntiSpyware.

Oh, & Brain.exe

(Opera 10.10, K-Meleon 1.5.3, SRWare Iron)

*I tend to download everything in Firefox as it virus scans as it downloads.

 

well got a new router which i guess culd be considered part of my security setup, the Linksys WRT320N and so far, VERY nice router and works well, and supports DD-WRT(finally i can use it)

 

Novice setup (with brainpicked knowledge, thanks to Sullly and Kees195

* Vista x64

* Admin with full UAC

* Norton UAC tool

* PGS setup
a) deny execute on Guest and Host folders
b) allow on folders of Avast, Keyscrambler, PGS, Windows Defender and Hitman Pro (all running as admin)
c) restricting programs as basic user (all internet facing programs on my PC, see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1601891&postcount=27)

* Avast5 beta file shield only on execute and write

* Windows Defender: no scan, no warn, heuristics, create restore, no spy-net, deselected on execution scan and scan downloaded files (other agents active)

* Keyscrambler free

* IE8 tweaks (download/drive bt infection protection), see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=262475

* Windows Vista FireWall

On demand Hitman Pro (also used selected right click context menu scan)


Running very light. I have added the two reg files as short cuts/quick links to program menu start for easy switching when needing to download an executable. This gives no pop ups and is understoodby every family member using this PC.

 

Added Avira premium
OA paid
A-squared paid

 

Realtime:
DefenseWall Personal Firewall v3 (beta)

On-demand:
ShadowProtect (image backup)
Syncback Free (data backup)
Shadow Defender
Dr.Web CureIt! (scan once per few months)
MBAM (scan once per few months)

 

Ill add Comodo IS V4 to my testing machine

 

added AppRanger 2.2

 

Removed Avira premium. Seemed liked the file guard was slowing down opening files. I'll just patiently wait for either avast 5 or A-sqaured 5. *sigh*

 

currently going to test AppGaurd
note:my prevx licence will expire soon,so dont know yet if i will renew but love this software it is a rootkit killer

 

Trying out new setup. Comodo internet security and Avira premium. So far so good. I love all of comodo's advanced options and config. Avira seems to be quick and my internet is running smoothly.

 

Added Comodo Time Machine. Works perfect so far. Only "downside" is I had to double the C-partition to get enough free space.

 

Real Time : Trend Titanium Beta - A-Squared.

On demand : Malwarebytes.

 

Real time: Panda cloud, windows firewall.
Backup/On-Demand: Hit-Man Pro, Malwarebytes, Hijack this!

Running Win 7 Ultimate w/ all security patches, using Chrome Beta.

 

i removed appranger it is alitle buggy instead i am running a-square

Yeah that's a common issue. Hopefully this improves in future versions.

 

Windows XP Pro SP3 32-Bit

Avast 5 - File Shield with "on open" disabled, Behaviour Shield disabled while still in beta.
Comodo Internet Security 3.13 - Firewall only.
MalwareByte's Anti-Malware - On Demand only.
Kees's Anti-Executable registry tweak
Hostsman 3.2.71 - MVPS & hpHosts (Ad and Tracking Servers) hosts lists.
Google Chrome 4 - Unchromed for privacy, added AdThwart Extension.

 

Well it's inherent to the software I guess and not a problem of course except for some extra "work". Very content/happy with the software btw!

 

For my Windows 7 (32 bit) Home PC i use;

Panda Cloud AV
Defensewall HIPS 2.56
Windows Firewall + OpenDNS + Hardened Router.

MBAM and Hitman Pro as On-demand, with Hitman Pro running at every start-up.
