What is your security setup these days?

....you wouldn't need to pay for it would be like heaven

 

I have used DefenseWall but a few niggles stopped me from taking it on full time. I do agree though, a damn powerful program.

 

It would be!

Yeah? Like what? I've only had very little experience with it on trial basis.

 

Back to Prevx.

 

Red and Red

 

You're best off trialling it further. My niggles may not be your niggles.

 

I feel HMP is more like orange

 

It is orange.

 

removed avast for the time being, using the Webroot SecureAnywhere beta now

 

I am buying a new pc for home soon. I will be using a hassle-free setup which is the outcome of all the trialing on this laptop. Don't worry, on this laptop I will keep changing my setup and keep coming back to ESET in the end.

My idea:
The pc is for home, so the operating system will be Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Additionaly, it will be connecting to the Internet through a Linksys WRT54G2 router.
I will be using an Administrator account with all settings on default (UAC, DEP, and the more advanced settings in registry), so no tweaking. Also, Windows Firewall and Windows Defender will both be enabled.
Furthermore, I will use Webroot Cloud Antivirus as realtime protection.
For backup, imaging and recovery I will install Acronis True Image Home.
Google Chrome (with Adblock Plus) will be the main browser and Internet Explorer 9 (with the EasyList Tracking Protection Lists) will be setup as default browser.

 

Well it's on my old xp32 machine, which I never use now that I have my CR48 and my other laptop.

 

Oh! you can use wsa and avast at the same time. I can assure you that there is no conflict and complement each other. The two are running smoothly in my pc.

 

Under the cover of darkness....Avira returns.....almost unnoticed...like the frog sitting in the pan of water...slowly heating up....and before he knows it...boom! Avira!
