What is your security setup these days?

Hello, You said you've uninstalled eset 5 beta but you didn't give your thoughts like you did for kaspersky 2012. You tried the both and i'm interested of your opinion about those 2; they are my favourite too

Thanks

 

I am interested in adding ClearCloudDNS. Does it slow down your browser at all?

 

Keepin it simple today. Default-deny/sandbox setup.

Standard User Account + EMET + UAC + Parental Controls + Sandboxie FREE

• Only Sandboxie allowed to RUN via Parental Controls.
• Sandboxie shortcuts acts as a launcher for any apps I want to run that is not allowed in Parental Controls.

thus no program can run un-sandboxed in my standard user account. pretty tight and light, just boring.
suggestions?

 

Very creative ideia!

 

thanks but I think I missed something as I still have to run as admin those Sandboxie shortcuts.

maybe I should make UAC silent or remove it completely... or I don't know... my brain is dead, going to sleep. bye.

 

My current setup is EAM v6 + OA v5

 

i am doing alitle experiment and it is to run these 2 together

 

it didnt work

 

How's EAM 6 noob? I can't wait the open beta

Konata u've a wonderful idea

 

are they going to run a beta of a-square?thanks

 

On my system I actually didn't notice any difference in performance between ESET 4.2 and 5 Beta, both are among the lightest security applications. The interface and user experience/usability improved. I can't say how much/whether protection has improved, such most improvements are really under the bonnet: more cloudcomputing, revamped Internet protection (new module), HIPS which I have never seen doing anything in automatic mode (HIPS is heavily dependant on how much it will evolve over time). Personally I don't perceive any added value from the parental controls, I would love an option to not install that module (disintegrating works quite good though). I didn't experience major problems while using (however upgrading from 4.2 failed (Web access protection)), only I had a bunch of weird firewall messages (is a thread about in the ESET beta forum).
My conclusion is: the user experience/usability is great, a little improved over the already good 4.2. And time will tell how much the protection has improved.

KIS 2012 beta: see previous post
The scans are are really slow on some dll's and exe's in the Windows folders (regedit.exe and notepad.exe most notably) but after it has done those scanning suddenly speeds up again. However it is still too slow (1 hour and 2 minutes for a full scan where as ESET does that in 36 minutes and avast! even faster). That has to improve.
I am happy with the performance improvement over version 2011, which is great and really was necessary. In future updates they should futher improve the performance.
Protection has always been great and recent test show KIS is still top-notch.
But to make me buy KIS (next to the ESET license I own) they really have to reintroduce the custom installation. It just contains too much bloatware I don't want.

If they reintroduce the custom installation and further improve the performance (and ofcourse continously keep improving protection) I will buy a license again. After years of hating KIS, this is a great release with a lot of potential.

 

My setup:

1. Avast Antivirus free
2. Comodo firewall with defense plus
3. Malwarebytes Antimalware free
4. Superantispyware free
5. Prevx free
6. Hitman Pro free
7. Panda USB Vaccine
8. HiJackThis
9. Secunia PSI
10. Firefox with addons- adblock plus, betterprivacy, bitdefender quickscan
11. Easeus Todo Backup Home

What do you guys think?.......

My pc is acer netbook.
RAM: 1GB

 

and for ur browser? u use any extensions or something to notify when you entering your password to let you know its secure connection?

 

Avast Internet Security
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
KeyScrambler
Ad Muncher
OpenDNS
Secunia PSI
Macrium Reflect Complete

Fairly light, swapping between Avast and ESET as the main protection from time to time though...both seem light, what do you think?

 

Good setup.. howz opendns..it blocks malware sites like norton and clearcloud? and whats ur primary browser? any browser security approach?

 

In the description of OpenDNS it says "basic malware and botnet protection" or something like that. I guess they provide the best overall connection performance over other DNS services because they been around for long, or does it really matter?
My browser is Opera 11, without any extra security layers.

 

EAM v6 On Demand scanner is a LOT LOT faster.
They have a Public Announcement.

Good Afternoon ! Just added Zemana Key-Logger and Hitman Pro...with Vipre Premium and Prevx 3.0 with Safe-On Line...all in all a decent protective combination. Sincerely...Securon

I will try this setup on my PC later. The Default-deny/VirtualBox setup.

Standard User Account + UAC + EMET + Parental Controls + SRP

• Parental Controls only allow Virtualbox to RUN.

I will make a virtual machine for my multimedia/gaming session and another virtual machine for secure browsing.
That's it! no need for realtime apps

 

Thx noob
I hope the final is released soon

@konata:
A good idea but my rig can't do that, since playing game on virtual machine will make it crawl in the floor

 

after running a couple of months under a restricted account i went back to admin.
but i kept UAC at max.

and re-installed Sandboxie.

 

@ams963: It's good, just add disk imaging and maybe ClearCloud or TrafficLight.

@Kernelwars: OpenDNS sucks compared to Norton or ClearCloud. It's malware blocklist is so basic that you'll have a hard time finding something it can block (other than phishing).

@Konata Izumi: If you still have 1 GB of RAM, you won't experience good performance.

 

Ah...someone else bounces between Avast IS and ESET...I really like a light system and these two are about the best although I have to admit NIS 2011 seems very light as well and all three work fine.
