What is your security setup these days?

Nope

 

MaxSecure has not a good reputation, if I remember well in the very past certain products were even marked as rouge by other vendors. So, watch out...

Real-time:
Avira AntiVir Personal
Comodo Firewall (Firewall, Defense+, Sandbox)

On-demand:
Hitman Pro

I'm currently behind a router, using OpenDNS, Firefox to browse the Internet, Secunia PSI to check my software, CCleaner to clean my machine, basically that's that!

(OpenSUSE Live CD for banking, got this from someone here in wilders, I forget who, but thanks whoever you are!)

 

Yes I noticed when I read this https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1717646&postcount=174 <
Though I had forgot about this AV it until sg09 mentioned that he had tested it

 

Testing out the entire CISP package for the week

 

And again.... ( )

Trend Micro AntiVirus 2010
Windows Firewall

 

LUA ( Power User )
SRP
Prevx Free

 

Does the Comodo Firewall has sandbox? I didn't know about that...

 

Yes, the Sandbox was introduced in v4.

 

Cool. The reason I ask is because browsing their site for the firewall: http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/firewall.php I could not find the "sandbox" feature.
It is only listed for the Antivirus or the Internet Security Suite.

 

XP Pro SP3

Avast 5.0 File System and Behavior shields (as per Kees setup) and network shield
Prevx Safe on line

Outpost free firewall

Hitman pro and Malwarebytes on demand scanners

Firefox browser with Wot and Keyscrambler
Sandboxie

Seconfig Port Blocker

Secunia PSI

Using avast with prevx safe on line with outpost firewall my system has never run better. Thanks Kees for the Avast tip and also Prevx.

 

Removed Avast, added trial of Mamutu 3.0

 

Avast 5

 

Trialing Authentium SafeCentral and liking it!

 

Avast 5

 

Windows 7 Home Premium
MSE, SEHOP, DEP, WF
Hitman Pro (Paid)
MBAM Free

 

Vista Ultimate32 SP2 (Admin acc., UAC on, WD off).

Look'n'Stop Firewall V2.07
Avira Premium10 (ProActiv on, Web and Mail Guard off)

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

Google Chrome V5 + Ad Muncher V4.9 beta

 

still using PE Guard 2.1 and hitman pro scaner and some browser tweaking

 

Windows XP Pro SP3 (LUA/SRP/DEP/NAT/GPO)

• Prevx SafeOnline (free promo)

 

Prevx 3.0 with all protection components including SO. Basically the only security application needed these days.

 

Which is odd, since the "sandbox" feature is actually under Defense+, I'm actually using CIS4.1, without the AV

Apologies for the confusion

 

Is this true? I would like to believe it is, but I can't find any hard evidence anywhere that it is.

 

Test it against any samples posted on MDL with heuristics at "max" and age/popularity set to "high".

I just use Hitman Pro in case something would ever get through and needs to be cleaned and Returnil while testing viruses against Prevx (Prevx hasn't let one of the last 132 malwares through).

 

132 for 132 is an impressive record, thanks for sharing that, it gives me some confidence. Seems like there would be more tests online, since Prevx is used by so many here at Wilders.

I am going to try using Prevx as my only real-time scanner, with other layers, including, like you, scanning with Hitman Pro. I wonder if it would be too late with some of the malware? Would the damage be done at that point?

 

bought my wife a Toshiba netbook, man it is small. Using Prevx on all 4 machines. For the netbook after trying several AVs, Prevx is the best on a netbook. Doesnt hinder the little performance there is to begin with.
