What is your security setup these days?

you should leave him alone...sigh

anyway - i feel like an idiot - only 2 permanent programs

EAV 4.2
Malware Defender (Torchsoft - NOT the malware! - before some1 ask again )

i clean the rest regularly with my own reg-file and batch.
ccleaner is a nice gift, but its settings depends on both above.
this is on win7

xp(1) like this
EAV 4.0
Outpost 3.51
TuneUp RegCleaner 2004 (see below)

xp(2) like this
EAV 4.0
LnS 2.6
TuneUp RegCleaner 2004 (!) instead CCleaner - old but enough,
any newer would kill my system

for all:
(Sandboxie for unknown and new)
Firefox as browser connects through a filtering proxy and is always up2date.
Acronis TrueImage 7 (xp) and latest (win7)
brain 2.x improved version

and i click a lot of **** since years - but nothing happend since nearly 14 years
when i had a win98 bootsector virus - boo - format.

in general i dont put the blame on those who use more than me - the
advertising for those tools just worked.
for me there are only 5 elemental points to mention
- being up2date with my system (OS, Browser, other regularly used)
- dont click what you dont know or cant imagine
- backup
- backup
- backup

simple - aint it?

PS if you share a computer - DONT give away any control to less experienced users
limit them instead installing additional software thy cant control.
my computer - my rights - me admin

 

in my opinion why limit their use of the computer why not just use deep freeze, shadow defender, returnil so they can still enjoy using the computer without user restricted things and just after restart all is the way that you set it up as it should be?

 

I agree!

I just dont understand why so many users here make such complicated setups,when your just as good by using such a simple method.

Keep it simple people,wow,just mind boggling

 

Malwarebytes Free is now Malwarebytes PRO.

 

Removed GeSWall and using MBAM only for its excellent IP blocking functionalities = only slowdown that's possible would be browsing speeds because of filtering, but I don't notice that anyway.

 

Is it still going to be free?What is the paid version going to be called. I have the paid version 1.44 and it is still MBAM.

 

No it's not a name change, I am saying my Malwarebytes Free version in now a Malwarebytes Pro version. My version just got upgraded for real time protection and IP blocking.

 

New Lighter Setup

XP Pro SP3 Firewall + Nat Router
Prevx 3.0 (Safeonline disabled)
Sandboxie
Winpatrol Plus
Comodo Time Machine

 

disagree - why giving hope to deal with stolen passwords and other data,
and after reboot all evidence is gone - included the stolen data!?
it makes absolut no sense to handle security afterwards.

 

With all the methods of attack these days. You can't keep it totally simple and be totally protected.

 

Removed browser defender

 

Now Got Avast 5 Free along with Returnil.

Trying to keep the pc blazing fast (And due to brother complains about a-squared) i didn't install it

 

man ur brother is very picky

 

Yeah, A-Squared only scans on execution. It will not affect much.
I tried to explain him but hes a fool

 

Dropped Avast 5 and Malwarebytes Pro to try and just run Kaspersky AntiVirus 2010 after my tests, as it performed very well. Seems to be running pretty smooth right now...

 

this kav is very good buddy i tell ya strong strong strong

 

How come you're not running it then?

 

i dont have a licence maybe i have but maybe i lost it

 

ofcourse man

 

forgot to say thanks

 

Back to old but fave setup.

Realtime:
XP Pro SP3
OA ++
Zemana Antilogger
Winpatrol Plus
Returnil 2008

On Demand:
SAS Pro
Microsoft Virtual PC

Backup:
Acronis TI
Karen's Replicator

 

i am testing panda cloud real time shield againts 14 new malware samples and
panda did very good detecting 8 out of 14
also prevx and mbam mbam detected 2 out of 14 and prevx 0 out 14 ooppss

 

And Defensewall stopped them all.

 

yes

 

Thanks for the reply.

I may play with it at a later date, after looking at some of the stuff on the web and youtube I decided to mess around with Sandboxie for the time being, seemed like an easier config.
