What is your security setup these days?

Kelvin, what OS are you on?

 

Vista 32bit

 

Switched to MSE - vipre feels slower than mse on my pc !

 

Removed Avira IS 12 from my desktop PC and added NOD32 AV.

Reason- Avira was to slow, especially I/O reads-writes.

I'm thinking of changing EAM on my laptop. It is toooo strong (i.e. not interesting )

 

I had a couple of issues:

• Can't upload on certain sites such as Facebook, Flickr, Imgur
• gcswf32.dll error keeps on showing up on websites with Flash
• Prevented <googleupdate.exe> from launching from folder <c:\users\francis\appdata\local\google\googleupdate.exe>

 

yeah the last 2 I'm getting as well. I'm also getting an error that says something about cache unable to read from something.
Are you still running it or did you throw in the towel?

 

Why were you able to upload? Are there any workarounds for the issues I have mentioned? I haven't encountered that cache issue.

 

A couple ideas to think about for added protection.

1.Sandboxie. free or paid versions. www.sandboxie.com or

2.Defensewall Hips most quiet no free version.www.softsphere.com

3.Add malwarebytes free or paid version. www.malwarebytes.org

 

@ KelvinW4
malware defender

 

Thanks jmonge, but malware defender was too talkative after 3 days of using it in training...

@Djohn, I used Sandboxie, but it slow my browsing and I had to wait 5 seconds
Since I don't make money (Im young) I don't use money (yet) on security software.
Oh yea I use malwarebytes Free!

 

what about SpyShelter free?did you try it it is good

 

J you missed...

 

DefenseWall then but is not free
by the way i am running DefenseWall

 

I like spyshelter overall, and especially loved the Restriction ability, but it did not last long

 

did you try to switch from on-access to on-execution scanning?

 

ive heard good things about defensewall
maybe in the future i will get it

 

did you try Geswall free?

two hips at once. . . ....wow J.... you sure are smacking malwares...

 

lol i disable spyshelter service for couple of days i didnt delete it

 

i might use it........... but i didnt remember why i uninstalled it!
but it's development apparently slowed to a crawl

 

@KelvinW4
get comodo fw/d+ , online armour fw or private fw..then you'll get top notch fw protection, free hips and lots of extra feature goodies...

then it's okay..

 

Is it possible JUST to install Comodo's D+?

 

I wish.

 

can't tell...I've always used the fw with d+...if you're ready to take on d+..then why not keep the fw also...

 

Ah well, I've always liked the D+ part only anyways......
