Thanks Ron....I enjoy and learn on every visit.

 

Had a good laugh reading this page


Still using Online Armor and Hitman Pro. Added ClamAV

 

thanks for the info regarding xero bank i needed vpn access and i use hotspot shield i think this one would be more secure than hotspot does it?

 

I know...MBAM is for protection from rogues..Because i have two lil sis those who don't know about rogues and all...AppGuard is there to provide protection from any .exe file.

I have already downloaded common sense from malwaredomain...

 

Trialing NOD32 Smart Security and liking it man!!

 

KIS can be configured to serve as an anti-executable as well.
Go into Settings > Application Control > Other applications > Assign the following status automatically = Untrusted.

Now when you try to run something that KIS isn't familiar with then it'll get blocked and you'll have to manually go into your Application Control and change its status to Trusted or Low/High Restricted, but you could eliminate another realtime security application.

Just a tip in case you weren't aware.

 

i tried MSE for six months with sandboxie for a while. i was never infected but something wasnt right ... the start up was fast etc but it just didnt feel ok to me so i moved to avast free and sandboxie and i feel great so its whatever makes you comfortable with is the right setup. i use vista firewall for the same reason because with other firewalls i didnt know what all the popup out-going connections were so it was better that way... even surfing dark corners of the net i have not been infected with this simple setup. no need to get too paranoid guys....backing up and encrypting data is better than having too many realtime applications which kill the system....

 

After being without a computer for over a year this is my new setup, almost forgot what the internet was all about.

Desktop-
DefenseWall
Prevx 3
Shadow Defender
MBAM

Laptop-
OA++
Sandboxie
MBAM

 

This indeed is a great tip

 

Avira free
DEP
Drive Signing
Process Policy
Sandboxie
Router based SPI firewall with upnp disabled

Occasionally the latest versions of GMER and RKU and KasperSky tool to check for DLL injections

 

I'll keep ESET NOD32 Smart Security along with A-Squared V5.
Still have Outpost but it's deactivated currently (Since i already got NOD32 firewall, though NOD32 got no HIPS)

 

I got a simple setup of Comodo Firewall and Avast 5 Free. Two on-demand scanners. That's about it.

 

Stormer, Nice avatar! Love it.

 

never use avast and they say it improves alot look at this

Key Fearures of version 5:
• Improved Antivirus and anti-spyware engine
• New avast! Intelligent Scanner
• New Silent/Gaming Mode
• New Behavior Shield
• New avast! Sandbox
• Smart virus updates
• Real time anti-rootkit protection
• avast! Community IQ
• Behavioral Honeypots
• Green computing
• avast! iTrack
• File System / Mail Shield
• Web Shield
• IM / P2P Shield
• Network Shield
• Script Shield

 

What can I say - so far I love Avira v10. They FINALLY switched the old interface and behavior, even the free version now has proper prompting. That alone is enough to make me use it and consider it an option.

 

Hitman Pro, Firefox w/ NoScript, WinPatrol Plus, and Faronics Anti-Executable.

 

You run Comodo AV with Avira?Just curios...They get along?If yes,maybe i'll try it too..

 

No, I disabled the AV, might run just manual scans with it, but I don't think I need to. This way they work just fine, light and very effective. Avira's effectiveness with COMODO's D+ and sandbox is gold worth. ALL FREE!

 

cool raven free is good man

 

Jmonge,
What were you saying about avast? Did you not like it or what?
