What is your security setup these days?

that is the only way you know what you are trying without asking others i am the kind of person that i try it and prove it my self type of person
anyway so far i tested all and in long time the software that really convince me so far it is Prevx,winpatrol plus and spyshelter i love this 3 programs
the rest for example Defensewall,appguard and mbam pro

note:this six programs are my faborites programs ever but the diference is this:prevx,winpatrol,spyshelter are 64 bit system ready with out any trouble or slow down

note:the second group:defensewall,appguard,mbam pro

now for example Defensewall is not 64 ready ,appguard is beta and has some bugs now mbam pro is 64 ready and the detention rate is one of the best and in windows vista and win7 is super fast but in my xp systems is very slow and make my browsing slow in xp systems

another note:PE Guard it is in my heart but i want 64 bit system ready i will wait for this one

also i am testing geswall and i already fall in love with and it will be 64 ready

for now my set up will be prevx,spyshelter and winpatrol plus

LOL he wont be settled down anytime soon

 

Directly after the launch of version 4 (sometime ago already), they released a YouTube video. In that video some people of ESET were interviewed about that release version, the company and the future. They said something like "Parental Control might be a good addition in the future". Also in SoftPedia interview they said something like that I think.
Next to that I mentioned it sometimes in the ESET forums, and they never denied it.

I also got the feeling ESET version 5 will bring a great improvement, which will make it top-notch again, like three years ago and where ESET belongs. What exactly I don't really know, it might be sandbox-based or behavior-based (maybe in combination with reputation-based? Who knows?). I personally prefer behavior-based, since I am not a huge fan of sandboxing.

 

ofcourse how can i settled down when my antivirus(any)will fail me and comon sense may work for me but when you have familly and kids comon sense fails too so i will continue to search untill my heart is happy

 

Hmmm... I remember that I DID watch the video, AND read the interview and yet I can't remember that they did mention anything about parental control

And let's hope that I am right since we really don't need Parental Control in ESS

 

Well, CIS is now gone and back to ESS.

Just lighter on the system and ESS performs so much better than CIS in the tests I've done. I like CIS and I think it's getting better, but it's not quite there yet.

 

Then we are two. And I have suggested something behavior-based in the suggestion thread in the ESET forum several times.

And I have seen more BB suggestions than I have seen Parental Control suggestions that's for sure

 

Yea I know J its all good hehe. Keeping searching

 

GesWall is a nice option too after the 64bit version comes out

 

interesting.. If you set the execution of unknown to restricted or blocked in CIS you will see the difference.Anyways how is ESS against zero day malware?

 

it doesnt have any proactive protection yet

 

haha I thought so

 

How is GesWall Pro compared to the free version?

 

it is very similar i dont see any diference yet as it is my firts experience with it

 

always a good idea to check the developer's site first.

Yeah I did that I just thought I would get the opinion of someone that has actually used it.

 

it looks promising

 

Basically pro gives you more applications in its coverage,and auto-terminates malware that attacks the operating system.

 

that is cool indeed also auto isolate option without any pop ups

 

man look at this video that is why we need proactive protection(hips/sandbox)etc

Nah just rely on your antivirus Hey,some people like to do things the hard way.

 

@Boost

Your hilarious, but your right!

Guys, what category does Microsoft Essentials fall into? Is it a medi-oker or what? I have never used it before. I just restored my daughters laptop and noticed it in the program list. I don't see anything running so I don't think it has been unpacked since she bought her laptop.

 

Microsoft Security Essentials provides you one of the best Proactive protection
with high heuristics and accurate detection
