What is your security setup these days?

Nice!!

Changed setup.
Uninstalled Avast 5

Added:

Outpost Firewall Pro
A-Squared V5

 

it should be stable now cause its already been released and its not in beta now, so why dont you give it a spin?

 

Alright. Thanks.

 

Using Avast Free and DefenseWall Firewall v3.00

 

getting it simple here.

Kaspersky internet security
advanced optimizer
firefox

 

@G1111 it is a nice security set up

 

DefenceWall is taking a break, just wanted to try a new setup.
PC is running a little faster though.

 

How do you configure DW and MD infact I liked your setup minus the MBAM pro

Actually with these two I don't see any threat infecting your computer

 

trying out my sig and it aint bad. Actually its web protection is quite stellar.

 

What happened to Panda

 

3dog good choice

 

@icr defensewall by default and put defensewall in trusted application withing MD simple and learning my pc for about an hour or so white list all my stuff and then put it in normal mode,i will start making rules litle by litle mbam ip protection is a killer man must have it here

 

still using it.

 

How much RAM do you have coz you are testing one BIG application

 

You're still using it, but you're running TIS... how does that mix?

 

DW is basically default. I added a few files/folders to the secured list (passwords, license keys, etc.). I had tried adding Adobe Reader as untrusted, but finally took off untrusted (less pop up warnings). Reader is not untrusted (by default rules). MD I have all security programs in trusted applications folder. For Firefox (I have "ask" rule for access disk, memory, registry and keyboard in low level) and that's it. I don't run file or network protection in MD. Network covered by DW firewall. With file protection on you get too many pop ups. MD is highly configurable though. Kees and others have come up with a lot of very helpful posts and suggested rules on this forum so if you want to experiment with different settings you can. If I am away from computer for any length of time I set MD to silent mode, enable all protection and lock user interface (password protected). MD and DW work very nice together. Yes I could probably not run MBAM upfront, but I like its IP protection. Paranoia is fun. The trick is to run MD in learning mode for some length of time with several reboots. I then export its rules every so often so in case something happens I can go back to a set of rules I know work good. This shouldn't happen though unless you like experimenting with the rules a lot. It is also very easy to go back to default rules with both programs. Both also have excellent support,

 

I recently switched mine to:

Running Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit, DEP on, Avast! free 5.x resident, Windows firewall, Sandboxie, and then as scanners I have MBAM free, SAS free, and Hitman Pro, been pretty safe so far.

 

1. D-Link Router (NAT/SPI and WPA2-AES Encryption for wireless connection)
2. Ahnlab V3 Lite (Smart Defense set to normal)
3. Hitman Pro 3.5 (On-demand)
4. Opera 10.50 / IE 8

 

updated my A2 to the version 5 beta and all running smoothly so far

 

Windows firewall ONLY
No real time protection
Malaware for ON demand Scanning

 

at this moment i only have in my xp Mbam Pro and Winpatrol Plus and kees's anti-execute reg-tweak for my browser but i want to add prevx to all my computers defensewall is in all my other pcs

 

Trying out defensewall again. Anyone else have any issues with starting up firefox the first time. It took like 10-12 sec for it to come up after I hit the button. 2nd time it took 6-7 seconds. Not that its a long time but without defensewall it only takes 3 seconds.

 

It's a lot stuff, but no problems anymore. And no conflicts yet.
Only freeware but should be a complete setup:

1) NAT-Router + ZoneAlarm
2) Browser:
- Immunisation with Spywareblaster, Spybot S&D
- Firefox AddOns: NoScript, AdBlock, KeyScrambler
- running isolated with GesWall / sometimes in Sandboxie
3) "Windows-Protection":
-ProcessGuard
-Winpatrol
4) AV / Malware:
-behaviour based: Threatfire
-signature based: Avira Antivir, Microsoft Security Essentials
5) Scanners on demand: HiJack this, a2-hijackfree, HitmanPro 35, Spybot S+D, Ad-Aware, a-squared free, Malwarebyte Antimalware
6) Scan in safe environment with boot-disk:
-UBCD4Win with Avira Antivir, Spybot S+D, a-squared free
-Avira Rescue Disk
-Kaspersky Rescue Disk

Please feel free to comment!
