What is your security setup these days?

Right now:

Avast Free
Outpost Pro
Webroot Beta

They don't seem too bad together so far.

 

I would be interested in your thoughts on EAM 6 after you've had a chance to use it for a bit.

DefenseWall Personal Firewall + HIPS 3.14 Beta

 

Nod Antivirus

 

Dont test too much before u see roots growing from ur pc's my good friend

 

They are already growing. I need some weed wacker

 

this webroot antivirus is fast and trouble free no problems so far and the firewall is very simple and silent

 

You are referring to the new beta formerly known as Prevx?

 

?
really? are they ditching sophos or keeping both?

 

But that is not a bad thought at all perce. My perception is a lot of people posting on Forums should do that with their setups.

still using the 'lean and mean' setup. trust me, it's very light and fast. avast quickscans my system at under 10 min and mbam quickscans at under 5. I just love, it my system's running real smooth.

 

Our setups:

Son's gaming PC: Vista x64 Home Premium
a) UAC full with Norton's UAC tool
b) Running SRP basic user of all internet facing software with Sully's PGS
c) 1806 deny execute trick of downloaded executables
d) EMET2
e) Windows FW inbound only

Using Chrome as browser with McFee Site Advisor als only plug-in
On demand: Hitman Pro

Son's university PC: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
a) UAC on default
b) Avast free with behavioral shield and file shield only
c) 1806 trick
d) EMET2
e) Windows FW inbound only

My desktop: Windows 7 ultimate x32
a) UAC on default, plus only allowing signed programs to elevate, no installer recognition
b) RunAsInvoker of mail and media-player (which virtualises parts of HKLM and file system) and using Chromium (which is unsigned) as browser, so internet facing programs have an extra security container
c) 1806 trick, to deny execution of downloaded programs
d) deny execute through icacls for download directory and user space partitions
e) EMET2 internet facing software
f) Windows FW 2-way
On demand: Hitman Pro

Wife's laptop: Windows 7 ultimate x 32
a) UAC on default, plus only allowing signed programs to elevate, no installer recognition
b) 1806 trick, to deny execution of downloaded programs
c) deny execute through icacls for download directory and user space partitions
d) EMET2 internet facing software
e) Windows FW inbound only for private networks, two-way for others
f) changed Prevx4 closed alpha to Webroot Prevx4 closed Beta

My mother's laptop (she will be 77 soon) Vista x 32 business
a) UAC on auto elevate, only allowing signed aps to elevate
b) SRP on internetfacing aps, which running as basic user (and will never elevate)
c) EMET2
d) DefenseWall HIPS

She is off course only using Microsoft stuff, because teachers of seniorWeb know them best (e.g. IE9)
on Demand Hitman Pro

 

after 1 day of use

Emsisoft Anti Malware 6 Beta has many improvement,
mostly on performance sector,
increased boot speed and on demand scan speed, reduced cpu usage, reduced I/O disk usage

the new rootkit scan is also a welcome additional.

I will look further, but right now its like using EAM 5 with Turbo Charged Engine

 

I decided to finally give my Webroot closed beta license a go, up to now everything is running fine.

Who can recommend me a simple setup for my dads new laptop, it should be almost pop up less

 

if you want just get nod 32 antivirus and the 1806 trick and booyaa

 

Chrome portable under Sandboxie.

i don't bother with update releases, i just grab the major version when it's released.

 

Can someboby give me a link for this 1806 trick, please? I read this all the time. And it's not a Vista/7 thing, right? Because i still use xp

 

Unfortunately I think it is if memory serves me right

You are not alone

 

Disabled AppLocker; removed Sandboxie; removed WinPatrol PLUS; added DefenseWall. I'm all set now.

 

Works on XP also, see first request on Wilders to others testing whether it worked https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1603237&postcount=1

I would say Avast free with file shield, behavioral shield only plus the freebie PrevXSafeOnline from facebook (http://www.prevx.com/safebook.asp).

Chrome is the safest browser IMO, add the plug-in McFee site Advisor for, add Norton DNS also (filters out bad sites on DNS servers of Norton)

It's easy free and light
