What is your security setup these days?

Well I think I finally convinced my parents to switch to FireFox. Well I don't think I did but the malware that infected their machine through ads this morning while they were checking their email did. Gladly it was a simple infection, the fakeav would come up a couple times of hours but I could simply kill it with task manager.

 

Windows 7 64bit
Firefox 4.1
ClearCloud
SandboxIE - Free
VirusTotal Uploader
Hitman Pro - Free
MBAM - Free
Common Sense - Still working on this one

Pretty light setup I think.

SourMilk out

 

restored from a clean image backup with all the safe-admin tweaks.
installed Opera Browser and changed it to run low integrity.
installed Privoxy
Clearcloud DNS
Returnil


Not installing Google Chrome for now as I'm liking Opera very much

 

That's great for you. Now, you know what not to do .

 

Haha. Yeah no liquid is coming within a 20 foot radius of this thing from now on! I am also buying a case JUST incase

 

Good to hear

Regarding the case Speck offers some really nice ones IMO

shadek nice you have OA++

 

Want to exchange your Prevx licence for my OA++ (330 days)?

Get bored with it and right now don't have $$ for Prevx.

 

New setup below in my signature.

 

Haven't posted for quite a while. A long time now with my set-up: Avira (guard only), Prevx 3.0 paid (no SO) and Sandboxie.
Applocker with LUA and Windows firewall with outbound on. It's so glitch-free and light, starts to get a bit boring.
Do you think I need HIPS with this set-up? And if yes, could you recommend any as I really like Malware Defender but it won't work properly with LUA and I'm dubious - should I run Admin with Applocker, UAC maxed out and add Malware Defender or simply leave it as it is.
Will really appreciate experience shared.

 

Your good No need to keep changing a setup all the time.

 

Well, on the contrary, I haven't changed anything for quite a while. Just trying to make it better without radical changes.

 

Sandboxie with an AV is a strong enough setup for about 90% of people.
Like I said,your good.

 

agree boost agree

 

A HIPS isn't necessary since you have Applocker.

Why UAC in silent?

 

J_L

IF you don't mind

what is you computer specs

you use alot of realtime protection wich consume a massive cpu

i installed avast + prevex and felt the computer going to die

 

Any reason for using different DNS services of GFI Sunbelt and Norton?

 

To avoid what happened here.

 

Windows 7 SP1 64 bit:

Standard Account w/UAC on max
SRP via Parental Controls
Avast free
Windows Firewall
Router firewall
Firefox 4.0.1 w/Adblock plus, flash block, Quick Image

 

@Hungry Man: Far less annoying that way, and keeps UAC functioning. It just auto-elevates though, which Comodo monitors.

@Ranget: AMD Dual Core 2.30 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA RAID 0 (1 TB 7200RPM)
It isn't as heavy as you think. Idle CPU 0%, No Disk I/O.

@Kees1958: To ensure internet connection if one fails.

 

Actually i am using setup mentioned in my signature.
Probably I will add Mamutu or Sandboxie.
