What is your security setup these days?

Get rid of AVG Free and use Antivir as a on demand scanner. Used correctly,you wont have any issues

 

I don't even know what they all do. But I believe you should look for overlaps in your protection and eliminate those. I think of the programs I do know, I'd keep AVG and Sandboxie and add Online Armour. That would be my setup as I'm somewhat old school.

 

Shadow Defender is system virtualizer, ShadowProtect is imaging/backup software and PeerBlock is an IP blocker to keep anti-P2P organizations off.

I used to have Online Armor on my old system and I liked it a lot, but I felt it was heavy. I want to have an anti-keylogger, before I had Zemana and couldn't install SpyShelter, maybe this time it would work...

 

keyscrambler

 

Why
Because Keyscrambler encrypts all the time and Trusteer only on partner sites plus the sites you added yourself. To reduce incompatibility I de-selected Trusteer's key encryption.


How

 

There's no comparison between Immunet (Released common version) and Panda Cloud Beta or not. It consumes much of my RAM and it glues to my HD like a baby breastfeeding

Please don't get me wrong, i think it's a wonderful product but just not for my performance needs.

 

@Kees

I see. I thought the forced download is some tweak that would override the 'right-click-save file as' in which a user could choose where to save the file.

I thought you didnt trust Trusteer... I'd love to use keyscrambler but the free version does not protect Chrome :<

 

My bro installed Avast! Free.

 

Darn, I had just thought about using CTM. Anyone else know of an easy to use, free, once a day backup type thing? Not sure what I'm asking really.

Cheers!

 

Great

Wow,

Nothing like taking a half a page to scroll through just one setup

 

Always negative energy you from. He describe his set up that all. If you no like dont have to read. But I agree some people have too many.

 

For your information,I was JOKING,but since it's on a message forum,it's hard to sometimes express this,maybe I should've used a different smiley?

 

Do you allow your brother to run free as the wind in an Administrator account? Actually, you've got an awesome security function right under your nose, built-in to the O/S in Applocker. Why don't you use it?

Maybe no choice in the matter? Too bad you guys can't agree on a security setup that's left intact.

Agree. I want write that but think may be get banned. Since you also write I support you. May be bellgamin can learn from this. He talk on many link that he no understand.

My dad might buy me either ESET Antivirus or ESET Smart Security. What would be best? (ESET Antivirus + XP Firewall Enabled) or (ESET Smart Security + XP Firewall Disabled) ?

 

I'd go for ESET Antivirus + XP-firewall since it's cheaper. As long as ESET does its job keeping malware out of your computer, you won't need to control outbound connections (which ESET Smart Security offers).

 

I have a firewall in my modem/router also so i think i will go with the Antivirus.
Smart Security isnt expensive of the site were buying from, half price

 

And that's a bad thing because....

How my setup works: I'm confident with LUA/SRP/DEP/ACL to prevent the execution of malwares, my realtime apps are layered approach towards incoming malware/attacks/exploits/drive-by downloads from the internet and with key encryption to render most if not all keyloggers useless even if they succeed to phone home.
