What is your security setup these days?

Turned on WPA2 temperately while I can get away with it.

Just my luck, Panda permanently deleted a handful of false-positives after I chose not to neutralize or block them. And Avira, despite my best efforts and reinstalls would not update nor run on startup

Back to what I haven't had problems with ...yet

 

Removed Coranti AV from the dekstop PC ... has good detection and removal capabilities .. but it hogs my system

J_L, are you able to use your system for anything other than running security programs?

 

Yup, it works fine on everything else. This setup is light believe it or not.

 

Yeah it should be pretty light only has Comodo, Avast and Win Defender on realtime. Pretty sleek though. Nice one J_L.

 

Took off Online Armor trial, added WinPatrol and Avast Network and Behavior Shields.

Any advice on improving my setup? This is for a netbook that connects to my wireless and my school's wireless network.

Im thinking of adding either HitmanPro or Hijackthis for on-demand.

  i noticed you updated shadow defender but i don't seem to see any updates on their website.. where did you get 1.1.0.326?

 

I guess it might be in BETA

 

Windows 7 Professional x64:

Realtime:
Microsoft Security Essentials

On-Demand:
Emsisoft Emergency Kit

Windows:
UAC (Higest) Enabled
DEP: Enabled
Windows Defender: Disabled
Windows Firewall: Enabled

Network and Immunization:
Norton DNS
SpywareBlaster 4.3​

I need some additional configuration? The SEHOP can be enabled on x64 systems? What is the consequence of enabling DEP for all programs?

Sorry for so many questions

Thanks!

 

1. You don't need any additional configuration. Together with common sense your setup is bulletproof. (If you however want to add something, don't install another program. But use the Windows integrated feature AppLocker.)
2. SEHOP can be enabled on 64-bit systems, just Google for SEHOP and you will find a Microsoft KB article about SEHOP. Including two ways to enable it: by a Fixit (which does also work on Windows 7) and by a registry trick.
3. There are some programs which don't use it, and there are some programs which can't handle it. However I never experienced some of the possible negative consequences.

 

My Set Up:

Norton Internet Security 2010
Mamutu 3.0
Prevx 3.0.5
Spywareblaster 4.0

 

Well from the post http://www.shadowdefender.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=330 by patrick at SD forums.. it seems tony is out of contact..

I am seriously considering activate the SRP. If I do not like how to reverse the process?

Using Norton DNS (which blocks malicious websites) I need Prevx SafeOnline?
