What is your security setup these days?

My setup these days is:

NOD32
Spybot S&D
Prevx
SocketShield
My own custom build of Firefox (w/ NoScript, Adblock and other ext's)
Spambayes
Anonymizer.com account
Windows XP hardened using NSA's workstation.inf template....check my blog and you'll see why

Oh yeah....that's all running in a VMWare session, connected to a Wireless AP in my DMZ.

 

Presently I use:

Nod32
Online Armor
Comodo Firewall
Spyware Blaster

 

Nod32
CounterSpy-V2 beta
Sygate until Eset brings home the bacon.

 

Antivir beta
Prevx1
Ewido on demand

RealTime
KAV 2006
Ewido 4
SuperAntispyware pro(Trial)
OutpostPro 3.51

OnDemand
SpySweeper(paid)
ClamAV

 

Well no one cant say we didn't objectively look at other products. But Antivir is my final choice. But it is different for all and that is what makes this place great.

 

it is a great av no doubt about that. (bitdefender av is the best!! try it out) just a little joke about your post earlier.

its hard for me.

its an av that will be used for 1 year.

i mean all the ones in testing are better and lighter than f-secure. most av updates are small. not like f-secure updates over 10mb holy cow lol

[MOVE]Updated security setup....All is playing nicely with each other[/MOVE]

 

i updated mine you can see it in my sig

 

New Final Layered Security Setup, called Rollback Intrusion Prevention = R.I.P.

a. Layer-1 : Router DLink DI-604
b. Layer-2 : Look 'n' Stop, in case router fails.
c. Layer-3 : Prevx1 Pro, to prevent installation and execution of malwares.
d. Layer-4 : Frozen Snapshot (FDISR), for automatic removal of all threats during reboot, in case Prevx1 and LnS fails.
e. Layer-5 : Archived Snapshot to recover the frozen snapshot, in case current frozen snapshot fails.
f. Layer-6 : Image Backup File, in case FirstDefense-ISR fails.
g. Layer-7 : FirstDefense-ISR, in case Acronis True Image fails.

No scanners and nothing else either.

Cleaning-time : 90 seconds.

 

hey Erik, can u explain your seventh layer? what do u do with FD-ISR when Acronis (Layer-6) fails?

 

Hey Erik, so you didn't add an anti-executable after all?

*Not running any Trialware; all software is Paid Version, Beta Testing, or Freeware.

 

Update...

Stayed the same:
Firewall - Zone Alarm Free
Antivirus - KAV 6
Ad Blocking - SuperAdBlocker
AntiTrojan - Boclean
Security Suite - Regrun Platinum(includes UnHackme rootkit detection)
HIPS - Prevx1


Added:
Ad blocking - Ad Muncher(in addition to SuperAdBlocker)
Cookie monitoring - CookiePal


I added Ad Muncher mainly for the referer blocking and stopping sites messing with my IE6 settings. Refer to the screenie to see what i mean.

I replaced Cookiewall with CookiePal because after doing some testing with Cookiewall i found it was missing some cookies even though i had it set to delete all new cookies every 10 seconds. I don't like cookies. Especially tracking cookies. I didn't ask a website to track my movements from site to site. CP takes care of those.

You may notice one obvious tick missing. Personal choice

Hey Muf, have you tried cookie crusher? What browser do you mainly use? Doesn't too much adblocking cause problems for you like some popups you really need.
