What is your security setup these days?

http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=11188

 

betanews.com will also have the latest builds as well.

 

thanks.

I got it up and running and its good.
i wonder if MP1 will be out soon.

 

My setup:

TinyXP Rev05 + AutoPatcher (Only Critical + Recommended)

ACTIVE: AntiVir PE Classic
ACTIVE: CHX Packet Filter
ACTIVE: System Safety Monitor

ACTIVE: The Proxomitron, sidki's filter set
ACTIVE: MVPS HOSTS File

a-squared Free 2.0
AVG Anti-Spyware
Spybot - Search & Destroy
SpywareBlaster

K-Meleon

CCleaner


ATM I really need little advice. What you think about my setup? Should I use some another cleaner (free)? Also I need backup software. Some little app which just backup specified folders/files to external hd/usb memory/ftp server etc. I don't need ATI or something else full backup software. It takes about 15min to reinstall OS + all programs.

 

I use the free version of SyncBack to backup selected folders to an external HD. I also like to keep a Linux live CD around for the same purpose - it saved my data once, after a botched repartitioning exercise, when I couldn't boot into Windows.

 

youre well protected with your setup

no, u have a good enough arsenal

ive heard good things about cobian backup. give it a spin

also, from bellgamin's signature i found DSynchronize.

I am impressed, but this looks more like an inventory list as the applications you are constantly running.
You run those all frequently?

 

I use most of them in a month's time. KAV weekly. UnHackMe and Bazooka daily as they are very quick (but limited). I rely on my upfront protection which is always enabled, but scan to make sure. So far, so good.

Hey lodore, is it going to be nod32+comodo+ssm or nod32+kerio+counterspy? You change your setup as often as I do.

Kerio as in Kerio 2.1.5?

If so, between the two firewalls it's very minimal as to which is lighter.
