What is your security setup these days?

Take your pick. KIS, Bitdefender, Avast, Eset, G-data, Norton, Mcafee, Norman, Zonealarm, Comodo. There are some more but I can't remember.

 

Hmm . . .
BitDefender seems interesting never tried it. ZoneAlarm too, all other have tested them

 

This.

 

Haven't tested Norman but from the tests it looks like it performs poorly

 

KIS, norton, comodo and g-data are all very good. You can't really go wrong with anyone.

 

I'll probably settle up with G-Data for a while but now i want to try something new

 

Vista Firewall
UAC
MAM
a-squared

That's it, not been infected in 20 years anyway.

 

prevx and defensewall very lite and solid protection and malware prevention

 

Added Comodo Time Machine to my setup

 

Trend Micro IS? (not mentioned)

 

RollBack and CTM

 

thanks for the info, but i checked virus comparatives latest reports and kaspersky is getting lower and lower in detection rates, im trying panda IS now because its the 3rd in the chart.

2nd is avira and first is Gdata

 

By all means use what you want, but Kaspersky placed second in the last real world Dynamic test (Dec 2009).
Those are the tests everyone should concern themselves with IMO.
Also took Silver for AV of the Year 2009 by that very same independent testing body.
Not to mention KIS has a solid Behavior Blocker and a HIPS component as well (that can easily be converted into an anti-executable).

Anyway, using KIS 2010 if you can't tell.
HMP and MBAM for On Demand.
ShadowProtect for imaging/backup.

Regards.

 

Thats because its horrible. No offense to anyone that uses it.
I was using no script. Yeah that didn't last long did it. I couldn't stand it. Now I was reminded why I didn't keep it. I'll run the risk of getting a script virus.

 

Malware Defender (Silent mode)
Shadow Defender (Always active)
Macrium Reflect (Paid version)
OpenDNS (For safer surfing)
Opera (used 99% of the time)

 

i know KIS is very good but im just trialling panda IS for now and lets see how good it functions to my computer. i like the usb vaccine and the tru prevent technology. and it seems i dont feel the slow up i experience in other resident security suites

 

It looks like Kaspersky have been focusing more on other types of security and their Signature based one were affected, that's what i think

Like sandbox, lowering rights, HIPS etc.

 

I think you misjudged my sig they are my all time favs
RollBack for imaging
DefenseWall for HIPS
MBAM for malware removal.......It is not that I use them all the time

 

Have swapped out avast! for a 90 day trial of Norton AntiVirus 2010. Very, very impressed. Runs light as a feather and has an attractive, simple interface. A far cry from the Norton of old (I last used NAV in 2003).

 

So let me ask you, if you have SD running all the time, do you have certain folders for Opera excluded so for example, when you restart your system, Opera remembers where it has been and remembers what you've read on the forum here?

That is my biggest complaint about SD. It's tough to know what to exclude folder wise so you can run safely without anything getting in, while having your browser remember where you've been. Or your email program remember what you've downloaded and read, etc.

 

No "exclusions", only "commit now" when I'm sure something is safe and I want it permanently on my system.
I had to train Malware Defender before starting to use Shadow Defender, that was done very carefully with the help of Sandboxie.
Wilders forum remembers what i've read.
As far as where I've been on the net after a reboot, it's gone, where it should be, as well as any programs being tested or anything else I decide not to keep.

I don't use an e-mail program per say, All are web based. (my ISP, Yahoo, and netzero from an old account) never any problems with any of them.

kjdemuth :ref No-Script

You probably lasted longer than I did.

I just keep Java script toggled off with a button from
the Toolbar Buttons 0.6.0.8 add-on.
If i need it for a certain page I "trust",just hit the button,
reload page and its good.

Not as effective,but a lot less invasive.

 

currently got so curious about ProcessGuard and decided to see if it blocks new malware and yes it does

 

OK, but what do you commit for example after you have visited the forum here so it remembers what you've read, etc? Don't you have to commit your browser cache or something along those lines?
