What is your security setup these days?

Updated from Dr.Web AV -> Dr.Web AV Pro to get the firewall. Used to have XP firewall but Dr.Web Pro brings more flexible packet filtering, application control and it is harder to disable by malware. Small and simple improvements

 

Added MBAM to the mix. without IP filter.

 

mbam pro is cool

 

Yeah i was playing around on malware domain and had downloaded a trojan. OA++ didn't find it. I ran MBAM and it picked it right up. Of course I had the trojan isolated under geswall. I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

 

cool

 

I'm on a program changing spree here. Got rid of MBAM. Got rid of geswall. Added Sandboxie paid. kept OA++.
If someone has seen my life could you forward it to me please.

 

I have the Windows Vista Home Edition with the Firewall ON and DEP ON (No WD, UAC).

Resident

- Avast! 5.0
- SandboxIE
- Defense +

On-Demand

- MBAM
- SuperAntiSpyware

Browser & Extras

- Firefox 3.5.3 (Ad-Block Plus, Better Privacy, Ghostery, CS Lite, NoScript, Refcontrol)
- KeyScrambler 2.6 for Firefox
- Ultimate Windows Tweaker 2.0
- Vista Firewall Control

 

i use avast 5 free, sandboxie and vista firewall. do u think I could add something like a light HIPs etc ?

 

Would be absolutely redundant in my opinion. Sandbox + a strong av is fine.

 

may i ask why you still use sandboxie since avast already have sandbxie feature?

 

Avast 5 free doens't have a sandbox. Only Pro and IS.

 

Can OA and CIS or something similar be in a combo? How does OA free's features compare to COMODO's DDP and (automatic) sandbox?

 

added mbam pro
look at the site it is new

good question

 

Copy cat :0

 

it is a good combo ala carte

 

Good Evening ! Real Time-Avast 5.0 Pro and Prevx 3.0-On Demand-MBAM. Avast is a proven product and the Virtualization Process is an interesting concept that seems to do what it's intended to do and that's protect and safeguard your browser and surfing activities. Oh and I almost forgot to add that I'm utilizing P.C.Tools Firewall Plus. Sincerely...Securon

 

Ok. Sandboxie....Gone. I didn't like that it didn't recognize my bookmarks. Also it was a little slow opening up firefox. Went back to Geswall.

 

i heard good things about geswall even the free version is very powerfull

 

i am waiting for AppRanger technology as it will change soon i hope it will be very powerfull antivirus

 

I don't think you would want to run OA and comodo together. Both have HIPS and both have firewalls. Remember 1 av, 1 hips, 1 firewall. OA free doesn't have web, mail or phishing sheild. Comodo is a great free product. If I was going to choose I think I would run Comodo without AV and add avira or avast to the mix.

 

Yeah I like it. I've used defensewall and sandboxie. For some reason GesWall works better for me. I'm not sure why. If it ain't broke, don't try and....

 

it is better always to use what you like and what works better for you

 

for me it is this combo my pc doesnt over heat with this combo

 

Not much of a change in my setup.

Realtime:
OA++

On Demand:
Sandboxie
SAS Pro
Comodo Time Machine

Dropped Returnil for now as CTM doesn't like it and wanted to give CTM a try.
