What is your security setup these days?

Both, emsisoft +ikarus

 

@AlexC: SUMo detects far more updates than FileHippo Update Checker.

 

i think its both

 

DefenseWall 3.12
Avira Premium 10.0.0.680
Shadow Defender 1.1.0.325
Macrium Reflect Full Edition 4.2/3141

 

Good setup!

 

Testing drive sentry really improved a lot seems like

 

That's why it has a plus plus (++).

 

OA++ is a good choice. It runs very light, has minimal pop-ups and has served me well for 2+ years.

 

I had a bad experience with some malware blunded with SUMo...

Now i know that the lite version don´t have that blunded. I´ll give it a try, thanks!

 

Sorry for the late reply.

I checked the different config options on Apples website.
And IMO you get more Mac for the money if you buy the low-end 13" pro.

You get a much faster processor in the i5
You get 4GB ram instead of 2GB.
And 320GB HDD, even if it's only 5400RPM it's better since you are going to run more than one OS.
Inbuilt SuperDrive. ThunderBolt, plus the Backlit keyboard.

So in the end, it's quite a big differens between the Air and the Pro.
But it's your choice my friend .

MacBook Tomorrow and than above setup meets DBAN

 

Same here, but since I won some money yesterday it's much easier to choose now

 

main desktop:
dual boot
"Main OS"
Slackware 13.37 kernel ver-2.6.38.4
Browser = Konqueror

"Gaming"
Windows 7 HP LUA+SRP via Parental controls
Windows firewall with custom ruleset

2nd Desktop:
Gentoo Linux 11.0 kernel ver-2.6.38.4
Browser = Chromium

Work Notebook:
Windows 7
AppGuard
ESS 4.2.71.2

 

How do you remember this? How long does it take you to type it?

 

Remembering is the hard part so I store it in an encrypted keypass(x) database on my encrypted 1TB HDD with the rest of mine in case I forget it. Generally I make passwords based on this:
3-4 smaller passwords used for other things (eg. email) These are used as part of most passwords
Change the order randomly for the new login
Add a new small (4-8 char) password somewhere randomly
store in database and use that until I memorize the password (Somethings like websites I just don't bother memorizing; no need).

Passwords are all about 14-63 Chars depending on what they are protecting. Also for secret question I general Pick a question answer it in "leet" text (or other such thing) and than hash it and use the hash as the answer All I have to do to get it back is put the text back in and output the hash again

As for typing I would say about 30 seconds

 

Ha! I wish I had that luck! Well I hope I can get the Pro it does look much better and I am wanting to play some Portal 2 on that.

I am really impatient though as my iPad 2 got restored (Someone entered the password wrong to many times) and now I can't use it until I get my MacBook. Come on apple where is the linux love?

 

LOL Linux love and welcome to MacWorld...

 

Pffft it's called skills

Oh, well if you are considering doing some gaming via Steam it seems.
(Thank god for the Mac OS X version of Steam )
Then you really got no choice but going Pro.
Since gaming on the Air isn't really the best idea.
The amount of RAM are too low, and the graphics isn't really the best for gaming.

 

Online Armor removed, added Mamutu on my desktop pc.

• NOD32 Anti-virus
• Windows 7 default FW
• Mamutu
• Malwarebytes' Anti-malware Pro

trjam! I knew that you were not that kind of man that should make this kind of commitment And Yes I was expecting this.

Free to go? Sure, but ask Avast and Tzuk first

 

Too bad the result was dictated, it would be interesting to see what people voted.
