What is your security setup these days?

Avoid CA Antivirus. It has very low detection rates.

 

Not only low detection rate... but also verrry buggy.

 

Thank you for your fabulous suggestions... But i am testing it under VMWare with my 100,000 Samples ... with some 0day samples

 

Well I learned the only way to use an old Ad-Aware it to turn off automatic updates and manually install the updates daily. Due to the fact I think it will be a waste of time I guess I will be installing Windows Defender on my parents machine.

 

so does ARP = Anti spoof protection?

and i cant seem to find the DOS overflow. can you find the setting?

HERE HERE!

Way to much paranoia on this forum and a lack of education and the usage of way to much junk software!

And what's even sadder is most of these people here seem to be interested in learning, not just your average users that want to get behind the wheel and could care less and they still rely to heavy on software, instead of getting some education to understand what they are typically doing is very unnecessary.

Most people here seem to act like getting an infection or a system compromised is some big mystery and that they need to be shielded in 5 feet of lead and it's not, LOL....

 

Update us...

 

Trying ClearCloud DNS.

Back to my old setup in my sig.
EAM + Zemana Antilogger (Without Comodo Time Machine)

 

@Noob: You removed CTM. How was your experience with it?

 

Why are you so happy about removing CTM?Are you hiding something?

 

I guess he successfully removed it without corrupting his MBR, that's why he's so happy.

 

What's so big deal?I uninstall CTM once a month to defrag my HD.

 

U mean to say it didn't corrupted your MBR after un-installation..?

 

Prevx

 

mine is still the same. Actually may upgrade it.

 

In February yes it did,had to reinstall Windows.
But with the actual version,no.I use for more than 5 month the 2.8.155286.178 version which can be downloaded now from their website.
And yes,i uninstall it monthly without any problems,and after defrag i reinstall it.
EDIT-Actually,since the 2.6 version i didn't have any problems.The 2.5 release was the one who messed up my MBR.

 

That's good..

 

Are you using Dr. Web AV or Dr. Web AV Pro ?

 

AV but may upgrade to Pro

 

Oh i see .. Good to know this !!

So one more setup in your defense arsenal.
