What is your security setup these days?

Thanks for the link, explains what is going on. Still not able to get in with ClearCloudDNS, fine with ISP.

 

AnVir Task Manager looks promising. How do you use it for security?

 

Your welcome. Just thought I would share since I saw that thread and when I came in this one, I saw people talking about Wilders being down.

 

Vista Firewall

And occasionally run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

That's it.

 

Liking NIS a lot so far.
I'll try another HIPS just for fun (OA!)

 

I believe Wilders had some DNS problems (used OpenDNS and checked it)

My setup right now.

Realtime:
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall
Emsisoft Mamutu

On-demand:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free
Sandboxie Free
Secunia PSI
Trend Micro RootkitBuster

Others:
Blue Ridge Networks MBRguard
Sunbelt ClearCloud DNS
Macrium Reflect Free

 

So it was a DNS problem?
I couldn't enter the website for 1 day almost xD

 

Again trying a set-up without a real-time AV. Removed NOD32 and WinPatrol.

Added Online Armor.

 

Desktop:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Avira Antivir Premium
Spyshelter
Sandboxie

Laptop:
Windows XP Pro 32bit
AVG Antivirus 2011 (paid)
Online Armor (free)

 

Currently using rising free av..

 

its a cool and strong app
look

im using second one.. Not free one.

Also daily 1min scan with Hitman pro. Thats it nothin else..

 

I was freaking out that wilders was down all day. I was thinking of who to tell my current setup. Who else would know the programs I use? My dog was enthralled but confused why I was still using comodo AV.

 

added Nod32 AntiVirusin my wife's pc

 

Rut oh K changes it again lmao. What happened to MSE? You kick it to the curb already

 

i got prevx back in my systems

 

i want to trial Caretaker Antispam from

it looks promising
Features

Finds more spam than other built-in and external spam filters.
The multi-layer scoresystem of Caretaker Antispam evaluates every incoming e-mail message based on heuristics, statistical models, and innovative image analysis.
Analyses phrases - instead of single words - and thus identifies more spam than traditional text filters (Bayesian filters).
Identifies all image based spam, despite diffuse patterns, font size and colours.
NEW Smart link analysis automatically detects spammy web pages on hacked legitimate websites, advertised in spam messages.
For up-to-the-minute detection Caretaker Antispam analyzes the distribution of spam versus legitimate email for the message recipients and calculates a receiver reputation for each based upon that distribution.
Identifies URL spam, Phishing emails, stitched images, Invisible ink, PDF spam, Excel spam, etc.
Detects potentially dangerous files by checking the contents of attachments.
Sending and receiving e-mails is a fast process, taking advantage of parallel programming techniques.
Provides your outgoing e-mail messages with a specific (indiscernible) stamp. Many ISP spam filters will trust your message with this stamp.
No need to maintain whitelists.
No conflicts with other existing spam filters and Caretaker Antispam can work as an extra filter.
Operates transparently, just as you expect it.
No need to configure anything.
No changes to server or account settings.

I didn't like Prevx for the 5 minutes it existed on my laptop but it is light on system resources.

 

MSE was making the pc slow I like it but I like my pc fast and smooth too.. so had to choose not to use it

 

prevx is very light but i dont know about the changes they are making so let's wait for those changes and see

 

Really? Thats odd. I just installed it on a friends pc a few days ago. She has a pc with a celeron d and 512mb memory and her pc didn't slow down. Oh well.

 

Well you can wait and I will continue using my EAM, OA and MBAM setup

 

mse is very high on cpu here(before when i tested) before plus bunch of services it needs to run to operate

 

I heard about it being high on cpu on scans. Last time I tested it, it was light enough for me. Oh well I must have a super laptop

 

even when it was not scanning its high on memory usage and cpu too.. using nod32

 

yeap you lucky boy
