What is your security setup these days?

Please do visit some rogue sites, you will definitely get infected..Trust me !!

 

i know which one is bad and which one is good .
Im A GOOD BOY
Thats y no infection .

 

it is very risky these days only depend on antivirus solution,may get hit very hard,got to have sort of proactive protection onboard to avoid infections

 

​

I disagree. No more risky then other solutions. It goes back to habits and a little luck.

 

yestarday i test 1 link just by clicking in the link like a regular user,i clicked on purpose and then what?you know bunch of stuff loading for my case i dont take the risk i have kids that use my pc and it is not save enough just to run an antivirus in my own case

wow thats impressive. And to think, I just use Esets antivirus.

 

Thanks trjam. I arrived at this setup over time. Unfortunately programs change and i am forced to move on. I had Outpost for almost 5 years, but it did not play well on my current system and I was forced to abandon it rather then trouble shoot each updated version. The last forced an OS reinstall. Current setup works well and hope it lasts awhile.

 

IMO if you use DWPF you don't need MD and SB.

 

I agree on SB, but it is free and doesn't use any resources. I look at it as some extra protection for when I use IE8 which is rarely. I don't agree on MD. It covers some keylogging that DW does not. Also, I believe it covers the one thing that DW missed when you ran the leaktest (files being dropped in system). For me it nicely compliments DW's already great protection. Sure I could probably get a way with just DWPF and KAV but I like being paranoid. BTW, I use MD with network protection disabled.

 

i tried ZA EXTREME and it locked up my laptop totally. IE was terribly slow and sometimes some sites did not even open for no reason.(Raymond) for example.
new set up
Dr Web 6 AV paid
LnS firewall Paid
Mamutu
Prevx Safe online paid

 

I've been away from here in around 1.5 years. I've only had one infection on one of my computers since that time. The free version of Avira that I was previously using kept getting issues with trying to connect to the server to get the update. It failed for several weeks and then a new malware popped up and my "outdated" AV program could not detect it. I dumped Avira and now use Avast and the updates are ALWAYS done right within a few minutes after I power on the PC. Avira is a good product, but the free version's ability to connect to the company's servers is very prone to failure and therefore not a reliable product to use. Of course, the paid version is probably different.

 

1.) Shadow Defender

2.) Zemana

3.) Drag'n'Crypt

4.) Firefox with:

-LastPass
-Flashblock
-BetterPrivacy
-Adblock Plus

5.) Acronis/system backup

6.) Router with integrated Firewall

7.) XP SP3 Firewall/no exceptions

8.) On demand scanners:

-a-squared free
-malwarebytes' free

Overall very light and running surprisingly smoothly.
The browsing experience is just amazing.

 

DefenseWall Personal Firewall v3 beta and prevx 3 with safe online

 

I see a pattern forming (returning to DWPF and Prevx)

 

it is very stable and secure even just DW is more than enough trust me

 

As mentioned elsewhere I've got CIS4 working, thanks to installing Windows 7. Great with 64-bit support, sandbox included and everything and running fairly smooth.

 

Going with TrojanHunter 5.3 for awhile (MBAM now on demand)

 

Good Evening ! Hello to jmonge, yes I'm using Hitman Pro 3.5 the paid version ! I use it as an on demand app, as I'm pretty sure you can't configure it to a scheduled scan, at least there's nothing in the Settings page that denotes that it's available. I'm pretty sure it provides a boot time scan. But I'm impressed with it's Speed and Minimal Gui. And I'll use it primarily as a compliment to Prevx and Vipre Premium 4.0. Sincerely...Securon

 

securon you have a very cool set up

 

Switched back to Win 7 32 bit because video card fan runs less:

Main Defense against bugs: several standard accounts for distinct purposes (UAC at full).

Windows Firewall
Router
MSE
Firefox 3.6 (adblock plus, etc)
DEP on all programs
Windows Update (current)
Use Windows Imaging for restores
External drives for data and images


New Edition: FirstDefense Lite for quick recovery. I like its simplicity and really not missing the archival ability. So far so good though I've only started testing it tonight.

 

NAT Router

Win7:
Avira Premium
WinPatrol Plus
SandBoxie

XP:
Online Armor++
SandBoxie
Surun

MBAM, SAS, Hitman Pro for scanning.

Spyware Blaster

Firefox: NoScript/Adblock Plus/Better Privacy/Perspectives

Image for Windows back up to external drive

DEP set to all programs and services

Trying out First Defense-Rescue Workstation. Thoughts are much the same as PoetWarrior. Simple, low memory usage, and with a few short tests, it seems solid.

 

this is true i tried za extreme also, it slowed down my core 2 duo 8 gb ram 1 gb video card desktop, i get the same experience when i use kaspersky internet security.

so thats why i use this setup i dont feelany slow downs yet

Minor Update

XP Pro with group policy hardening

LUA with SRP no execute on P2P directory and TEMP partition (where chrome download dir is etc) only
Starting Paragon backup, Disk cleaner and Windows Create Restore point with encrypted credentials from LUA through Steel Run As freeware (was Run As)

ACL no execute registry tweak for downloaded executables (softened up SRP because this tweaks works so well, also with Chrome)

ACL taken away add value, create subkey and delete rights of vulnarable user space keys of LUA user, taken away write access to menu program start and tasks

Iron Chrome with WOT , SiteAdvisor for Chrome, new tab behaviour, IE tab, Adsweep and Flashblock and Click & Clean
Note I have set the session ID to zero and made the 'local state' file in the Google/Chrome/User Data folder as read only. Chrome is launched with --safer-plugins switch

Avast file shield is triggered through registry attachments tweak when downloaded or mail executable is opened, normally it does not scan executables nor reads/writes (to execute downloaded /e-mailed executables, I have to remove the no-execution block first with explorer)

Trusteer Rapport with attached settings



Hitman Pro on demand

That's all
