What is your security setup these days?

I don't mean executing the malware (well not purposely) I was talking about searching MD5s, Registry Keys, ect. Any of the sites I use to research these have the chance of being hacked so I want to make sure I am protected as I click on these links.

 

Vista 32 and 64 bit - UAC on - DEP on for Windows only

REAL TIME:
Norton Internet Security 2010
Prevx/Safeonline Free
Winpatrol Free
Secunia PSI

ON DEMAND:
Hitman Pro
MBAM Free

 

I think it would be a good addition to your setup. It will isolate anything that tries to access your system through an untrusted method (browsers, E-Mail, etc.). I have been using it almost a year now and find it indispensable. read more about it here: http://www.softsphere.com/online-help/defensewall/

 

Thanks, I guess I will debate upon buying it. I got a special deal I can use so I can get v3 for about 20 bucks so I figure it may be a good deal because last time I used it the app was nice. Plus I had been needing a Firewall

What happened to your system

 

50 Bad Sectors found on my HDD. Unable to format..

 

Absolutely light...

I can visit any website without getting compromise...Even if anybody is interested to Hack my system...then surely he's invited with pleasure.

 

Running Defensewall 3.01
Avira Personal 10.
Seems to be running well at the moment. Hopefully this lasts for a while.

 

Outpost Firewall Pro 7
Avast 5 Free

I 2 hope that this one will last,.
I know Avast will, but Outpost is starting to give me some troubles, not too bad for now but I'm afraid it will get worse.
If however it gets worse, I'll replace it with Comodo Firewall Premium 4.1

 

still Avira Suite , one week later.

 

OK
Dropped defensewall and avira like a bad habit.
Back to OA++ and geswall. I also added Panda Cloud instead of MBAM. Of course I don't see that lasting long.

 

LOL
I think I found winning combo.
Avast Internet Security 5

I'm in love

Now, the only thing which would make me drop this suite is BSOD happening, and I don't think it will happen.

 

Wow!!!! Thats almost a record for you.

 

Just replaced my Dr Web + ZA pro with Bullguard IS v9 six months Trial... It contains my favorite engine...
