What is your security setup these days?

Added Avira Free (Guard not installed) for on-demand only.

 

Vista Ultimate32 SP2 (UAC on, WD off)

Look'n'Stop Firewall V2.07
Avira Premium10 (ProActiv off, Web and Mail Guard off)
Faronics Anti-Executable V3.60

Sandboxie (registered) V3.46
Shadow Defender V325
ShadowProtect Desktop V4

Google Chrome V5 + Ad Muncher V4.9 beta

 

May I ask what kind of problems did you have with AE (obviously apart from your uninstall attempt)? I also think restoring an image would probably be the best solution. I'm pretty sure you are aware of the following: to uninstall you must have admin privileges and 'Anti-Executable protection' set to 'Disable'.

 

did some one try Stronghold Antivirus ?

 

Not even with a ten foot pole.

 

why?is it bad?

 

Fresh newcomer in softpedia. I wish I will test it someday...

 

Do a search on Security Stronghold.
Not a company I would trust.

 

ok is that is the case i agree

 

Hmm... The company is llisted in Softpedia since 2006. Site listed in WOT and hpHosts. Alsoin MBAM Blocklist.

 

added Mbam Pro again to my arsenal

 

lol that about every other day HAHA

 

I went with a Standard User account in Windows 7 Ultimate. I haven't used the applocker/bitlocker stuff yet. I have to get a usb for the bitlocker. Is applocker setup needed if I'm using a Standard account?

The rest of my desktop remains the same-
Avast 5 free
Prevx paid
On demand of Hitman Pro and MBAM

Possibility of adding Comodo firewall since it has the sandbox.

 

None really... I was just testing the product, which included uninstalling it. Yeah, I was under the admin account with AE disabled. I will reimage later, I just want to see what kind of response I get from support before doing so. Another part of my testing of the product.

 

back to what works and isnt a fuss.

 

this time Mbam is here to stay i guez

 

divided my partition:

Half Vista-Work Purposes
Half Ubuntu 10.04-Downtime & customization

 

I use Norton Internet Security 2010
Malwarebytes
Hitmanpro
keyscrambler
using IE8 and Opera[/FONT
immunet as backup

 

Something old, Something new, Something kinda Blue.

 

it's very hard to decide what to use in this days

 

Currently trying this setup:

REAL-TIME
Microsoft Security Essentials
Privatefirewall
Prevx/Safeonline Facebook tool
Spywareblaster
Winpatrol Free

ON-DEMAND
Avira Free
Hitman Pro
MBAM
Secunia PSI

I know there's probably some duplication there, but everything seems to be running well and lightly so far.

 

Thinking about complementing my setup with Prevx but the heuristic settings have me stumped.

 

i am also thinking of adding prevx to my set up

 

added WinPatrol Plus as a monitoring tool

 

Prevx Safeonline from www.prevx.com/facebook seems to be ok..

You guys should try it
