What is your security setup these days?

Did a clean install since I have both 32 bit and 64 bit upgrade disks. I used 32 bit disk to format and remove 64 bit and then installed 32 bit, knowing I had to phone activate, but that was easy.

 

thanks got ya

 

Because of my experimenting between the two versions I now have saved images of 32 bit and 64 bit. I'm sure I'll be back and forth until I figure out why 64 bit has been a problem.

 

ah i see

 

Wow, can't believe i jumped in the image software bandwagon

Acronis now officially in my setup

 

Noob did u try keriver or drive snapshot?

 

Nope, only tried 3.
Paragon, O&O and Acronis.

 

My good friend can you please try drive snapshot for one time and share your experience?

 

Trying avast free beta 6
noob try macrium

 

There's an option in Acronis called Try & Decide, similar to virtualization (I'm not saying it is virtualization, but works similarly)

Now i can test lots of software

 

Hardware firewall - Linksys router

Realtime:
Look 'n' Stop Firewall v2.07
DefenseWall HIPS v3.09

~Additionally~
UAC/SEHOP/DEP/EMET (for Internet facing applications)

On-demand:
Hitman Pro
ShadowProtect Desktop v4.0.5

Web browser:
Opera v11.01 + WOT extension (geolocation option disabled in Settings)

~Extra light and strong config~

 

Settled down now for Avast, dug up my license, can't wait for version 6

 

Installed AIS 6

 

LOL Noob you are late to the party

 

My Asus 1005PE netbook Win 7 Starter,LUA,Norton DNS,Prevx FB(paid)

 

Changed again after a week of boredom due to the excellent combination I had (Avira, Malware Defender and Sandboxie) - absolutely glitchfree and very strong. My present set-up is no worse actually, only that slight slowdown of webpage loading due to Avast webshield but it's not such an issue.

 

I just ordered an 1 year 1 pc license for ESET Smart Security for €20.25, which will arrive tomorrow. So that gives me just one day to check out avast! Free Antivirus version 6.0, which came sooner than I expected.
The user interface improved a lot by making just small improvements, like higher quality window buttons, better looking icons, better Current Status screen, prettier onscreen links and the cleaner top area. It is only a shame that the "like avast?" (should be removed anyway) and "upgrade" buttons are in that ugly colour green. Also nice you can opt out for the gadget and WebRep.
It is good to see Script Shield also being included in the Free Antivirus, a good decision if you take their business model into consideration.
I probably won't have the time to test the AutoSandboxing carefully.
Next to that it is only a little slower on-access compared to avast! version 5.

But alltogether it will be clearly the best product offered by the major free antiviruses (AVG, avast!, Avira, Panda and Microsoft), for now ofcourse.
Next products that I am looking forward to: ESET version 5 and Prevx version 4.

 

using mse for a while now on a vista 32 bit system for sometime..Very good

 

Windows Hardening:
UAC with credentials (Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop) + SuRun
Applocker
EMET
Other hardening tweaks

3rd-party:
Comodo Firewall (Firewall - Custom Policy; Defense+ - Clean PC Mode; Sandbox - Disabled)
Sandboxie
MBRGuard

I've been using this setup for quite some time now...

 

at this very moment Nod32 Antivirus+prevx+SpyShelter

 

Guess what, 2 days or 1 day after including an imaging software . . .
It SAVES ME!!!

I went out today the whole day, and for some reason the computer was acting weird, keystrokes weren't working correctly and i wondered if my bro infected the PC.
Then decided to do a recover and VOILA!!
All running smooth now

 

Windows XP Home SP3 (admin acc)
Windows Firewall
Faronics Anti-Executable 3.50
Sandboxie
ShadowUser Pro
Acronis TI 9
Google Chrome v8

 

Good setup safeguy Such setup is always lightweight and secure unless your novice family member/friend wants to use your computer to browser internet and transfer files to/from flash drive.

 

Back to my favorite two programs: Emsisoft Anti-Malware & Online Armor

 

Running SRP only.
Well not really running, just using SRP
