What is your security setup these days?

You be the creator. o.o xD

 

I don't think I'd be the best person to do that.

The way I figure it it would be:
Each person creates and submits their own setup

They then film (with some screen capture software) their setup in action with predetermined malware. They also film setting up the computer and include relevant info.

They then submit it and it's judged by some group of non-participants.

Everyone uses the same malware... but they'd have 24 hours (after the malware list is released) to create their videos.

We also have a clean computer that we run the malware on as a control... for XP 32bit, Vista/732bit and 64bit under the same conditions.

The malware would have to be looked at first to make sure it also fits in with criteria.

Winner gets bragging rights =p

avast! and MBAM PRO run beautifully together. Any issues, take a look here.

 

Indeed mate. No issues here.

The Seeker, I have installed Ad Muncher on my PC a few months ago but I uninstalled it because it was slowing down my Internet (browsing), and making some websites look ugly. I need your advice.

 

They sure do. Its a excellent combo IMO.

 

Not sure what to tell you, as Ad Muncher has always performed well for me. You may be better heading over to the Ad Muncher forums and asking there.

 

Outstanding idea. I think anyone who is running Linux will win that competition, easy. Thus I, hereby, declare myself a winner since I'm running LinuxMint.

Thanks.

 

will be doing a fresh windows install.

LOL..

 

@Hungryman

In all seriousness you have a great idea and if it can take hold; therefore, it will be one of the best threads at Wilders. Now the only thing you have to do is to create a new thread so that more people will become aware and provide their own feedback.

You can count on my support.

Thanks.

 

It's working perfectly here! An excellent software indeed!

 

I think J doesn't want to talk about it.. What happened is he got carried away while doing the dance with the panda and burnt all the bacons and everything

 

Ha! Ha! Good one.

 

Well, that's why ease of use will have to be taken into account. This isn't just "secure computer" otherwise it would be pretty damn easy.

Perhaps I'll make a new topic...

 

That might be a problem.
Many Wilders members already have that.

 

Well, it always helps to have more! =p

You can put a little "I won!" in your sig lol

posted the topic

 

I agree with you..this should be fun Let's see how many pages go by before the arguments start.

 

I can't see anyone being too upset with their score.

 

No, that won't be the problem. You'll see soon enough By the way, where did you post the topic?

Edit: Found it

 

Well there's the fact that two of the four criteria that I can think of are completely subjective lol but we'll need multiple judges

 

Ease of use is a factor I'd be very interested in. I'm all for the competition actually, I just know how it can get around here

 

Well, we'll see how it goes.

We would still need like... at least 3 judges, preferably 5. And we'd need them to come up with the malware list. Then we'd need them to release that list and everyone would have 24 hours to make and release their videos.

 

lol, do you really think Wilders is going to ok this. I know one high ranking Admin who will close this, and rightfully so. in a heartbeat.

 

I suppose it breaks that whole "no tests by members" rule. That's such a silly one.

I don't really mind one way or the other. I posted the idea and people in this topic seemed to like it so I put it to a poll.
