What is your security setup these days?

Finally I decided to test NAV 2011, but just for a few days , lets see if it does what it says

 

Fair enough, but I installed it on my dads pc and weeks later he had problems. Found a trojan on there using Avira and Prevx was sat there quiet as a mouse. There was also browser hijacking going on. Used SAS to sort that out. Dumped Prevx and kept Avira. Installed Spywareblaster. That was the day I lost faith in Prevx and it was only a few days later my pc's HDD died, so it was an easy decision for me when I installed the new HDD. I didn't want my pc to end up like my dads pc did. A week or so after that episode he tried getting in his Building Society Account and it said it was frozen and he had to phone them. They asked him if he had trasferred £1800($2800) out of his account, which he hadn't. They got him his money back but whoever hacked him got his account details, all while Prevx sat there doing nothing.

 

Nothing for nothing but hardcore hackers can bypass just about any security you can imagine. I always work under the premise that if someone wants to hack your account, they will.

 

that where stuff like hips or programs like keyscrambler or even default denny comes handy to save any bacon

 

oh yes

Works really light

 

hey kees, i have a dir 655 router(which should be similar to yours) and im just wondering how i know if ARP and DOS overflow is enabled?

 

Could not find the Denial of Service setting very quickly the Anti Spoof protection is in ADVANCED, FIREWALL SETTINGS of the console

 

All those really are light

 

All I have done so far is click the max security setting. Haven't found a clear guide to using EMET yet.

Kernelwars, Avast now has pirate talk.

 

I've gone to a new set up. Running GesWall Pro along with Avast free. Running really light. I'm feeling that this is pretty solid protection.

 

I think I finally (for now ) found the best security-software setup for me on both my netbook (x32) and desktop (x64).
Same setup, running smooth, light and safe (I hope).
I really think I'll stick to this for now (tried a lot of setups and feel happy with this one: Nod32 4, WinPatrol PLUS + Comodo 5) ... but I really should say that I will miss the searching for 'the' ideal softwaresecurity setup.

So I hope I can control myself

 

Well I will be redoing my parents machine (my desktop) setup more this weekend. After getting hit by MyWebSearch (hit no install it decided to anyway) last night I figured I need something more then Panda Cloud on it

Current setup Panda Cloud + SuperAntiSpyware (Which removed 995 infections, MyWebSearch sure adds ton's of useless stuff to your PC)

Since this is a old PC with not much ram I will be attempting to go light so it will most likely end up being: Panda + SuperAntiSpyware + Windows Defender

I am kinda still deciding between WD and Ad-Aware for that machine. Ad-Aware may be a little heavy so I feel it will be better with WD.
