What is your security setup these days?

To be honest I think ESET is perfect for you. It is light, has good detection rates (also shown in your tests). Gives you a lot of options you can configure. It never uses pop-ups: only on successfull updates (you can disable that option) and found threats. And those updates are extremely quickly and doesn't lag your pc at all. When I start up my laptop I already had an ESET message with Database updated before I actually did anything on my pc. And the 4.2 version doesn't slown down the web browsing anymore.

 

Trying out G-data IS 2010 and threatfire. Doesn't seem like G data has a behavior blocker/HIPS.

 

At Present i am using

1. PC Tools IS 2010
2. MBAM 1.45
3. CTM (Comodo Time Machine)
4. AppLocker, LUA & DEP

 

How is PC tools working?
What about the memory usage and IO Reads/IO Writes?

 

G-data has never had a HIPS in any of their products from what I know anyway.

But it seems they got some kind of BB in the 2010 version according to:
http://www.gdatasoftware.com/produc...e-user/1184-g-data-internetsecurity-2010.html
""The latest methods for detecting unknown viruses (behaviour blocking, heuristics, cloud security""

 

Yeah I thought that the 2011 products will include BB, cloud scanning

 

Yea but even the current 2010 has a BB of some sort (trjam) might explain if he still uses G-data

I also saw that Cloud-security feature, but I wonder how it works if it's like ESET's Threatsense.Net or how. Someone might know and can explain a bit further

 

Here is what I found from their BETA site(I guess its their BETA forum )

 

Same thing here.Sorry Kaspersky......but it seems that a FREE AV (...............) is better than you.

 

Yeah 2011 has a BB, cloud and heur. I don't know when its coming out though. Of course when I had G-data installed I tried installing threatfire and it asked me if I wanted to run a new process. Sooooo. Thats why i'm running threatfire with it. So far so good. Scans are fast.

 

Back to Eset

 

Are you starting w/ a fresh image of your OS every time you change your security equipment? If not, I'm extremely surprised that your box is still booting.

 

Hey trjam do you have licenses of all the products(AV) you use

 

trojam good choice nod32 rocks

 

Not if the latest NSS Labs test is anything to go by.

 

and what is NSS Labs test ?

 

Yeah sorry, no. I own 2 licenses for ESET and I will not install it again on my system. In my tests, Avast was much, much better each and every time.

Avast is running super smooth here with no issues.

 

By the way, I'm just making an observation. I don't mean to bash ESET products. NOD32 was great for me, performance wise.

i understand thanks for the link

 

Hahaha got rid of G-Data? xD

 

No comparisons man, if Nod32 fails in one test it does fare good in others too

 

Long time reader, first time poster so please be kind

My setup is (all realtime):
Prevx 3.0 (non-paid, just monitoring)
Winpatrol Plus
Shadow Defender
Admuncher
Windows 7 Firewall

Scanning (on demand): MBAM, Hitman Pro
Firefox 3.6
DEP/UAC
Hostsman/ MVPS hosts
Services Tweaks

 

TrendMicro on top what kind of test was that

 

:O Then you didn't publish all your results here. You tested it twice, one time with web protection disabled, so it had a **** result and everybody requested a restest. At that retest it caught everything. Did I miss something?
