What is your security setup these days?

new setup:

 

Testing a "Don't worry...beee happy" setup

Real-time...: Panda Cloud Antivirus, Inmunet Protect, Winpatrol Plus, DropMyRights (For my internet facing aplications).

On-demand: MBAM daily scan and Hitman Pro to check all my downloads.

Pros: Quiet and light.
Cons: I feel naked without a full HIPS .

 

raven it is for the heck of it and i am still fast " i believe i can fly" i believe i can touch the sky"

 

remove malware defender to much pop ups i am putting some Registry tweaks brute force is better

 

hahaha.. brute force...

 

Could you specify maybe? I'm curious.

 

April 15, 2010

I have many computers at home and at the office but I personally use two only

1) Dell Vostro business laptop
Windows 7 Home Basic x32
User Account Control : ON
Windows Defender : ON
Windows Firewall: ON
Data Execution Prevention : ON

Network
Wired NETGEAR router with SPI disabled , just NAT.

Protection
Norton Antivirus 2010

On-Demand
I run actively HijackThis and Process Explorer

Browser
Internet Explorer 8 with Protection Mode enabled


2) Toshiba Satellite Pro
Windows XP Home edition x32
Windows Firewall : ON
Data Execution Prevention : ON

Network
Wired NETGEAR router with SPI disabled , just NAT.

Protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 Small Business edition RU1

Browser
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3 and updating

 

tweaking the registry help to improve the security of the system

 

Jmonge,
PE guard is similar to process guard from diamond right?

 

On XP Pro playing PC

- XP FW
- LUA + SRP + prevent execution of downloads through ADS bit + ACL (ACL protect the user space startup entries in registry and folders)
- Trusteer Rapport free (protecting browser process modification)
- Keyscrambler free
- Chrome with
* Site Advisor for Chrome
* Bitdefender quick scan extention (see AKO's reference for FF works on Chrome too)

- Immunet/ClamWin checks at installs only (no process execution, since no code can execute without consent)
- Hitman Pro on demand (right click context sacn check before installs as Admin)


Old single core Athlon @ 2,4GHz is faster than son's dual core 3,2Ghz Intel

it is liter\faster and less trouble cause is fully develop from time to time is fix and it works just fine it blocks rootkits it is a litle hips

 

What happened to your beloved defensewall? You testing or not running it anymore?

 

i have it in the other 2 computers in mine i have what you see in my signiture
3 programs i really like defensewall,prevx,pe guard and appguard

 

Same here DWv3 on wife's PC (top class easy to use security for worst nightmare security user)

 

kees you tell me, this software is a life saving bacon better than cpr or 911 it comes to the rescue when you need the most

 

our family likes defensewall so much that we bogh 3 licenses for more than 2 years

 

Well 911 saved me out of a wheelchair after a rugby accident, but agree it is set and forget (V3 with whitelist for secure installs is even better than V2).

Good to support DW. I have a hunderd year lisence (Ilya's humereous way of appreciating assistance)

 

man i forgot about that man that was brutal

 

the firewall in version 3 is very silent and it awakes only on malware attack this is very cool indeed

 

wow youre really a fan of defensewall

 

Yep and Ilya had some implementations (versions) of the FW engine. The most advanced one has the same (minimal) impact as the default XP Firewall.

 

yes i noticed that

 

i have DW in wife's and kid's pc and for 2 years no complains of any kind and that includes zero viruses

 

I wish I had never gotten rid of my hundred year license. I'm mad that I threw it out. . Oh well.

 

Jmonge is die hard fan of Prevx and DefenseWall HIPS...
