What is your security setup these days?

Ok thanks and Yes once open its smooth and fast.

 

Smooth sailing w/ this setup. Emsisoft Internet Security Pack

 

MD is chatty at first,but if you take the time learning your daily apps.another words the same app may prompt for allow or deny several times for each program,but Once you have all your programs quiet not being prompt from MD, then if you like you can switch it to silent mode.What this will do instead of a allow or deny prompt,instead you will get a default deny block.No user intervention,No user accidents.

 

Yes, to make sure it doesn't popup too many more like last time, I will keep it learning mode for the next 4 days

 

Yes good idea other wise can drive a person bunkers from all the clicking.

 

Lol yeah! It drove me crazy when I only set it for 2 hours on Learning mode

 

Couldn't get grub installed properly so i couldn't dualboot

 

Give Joli cloud a try. Its really light, based on ubuntu and has a great interface. Also you can actually import your windows files via Joli cloud. It also has a tons of apps you can download. Give it a try. I was hooked on it for a while.
There are a ton of other linus distros you can try that are just as good if not better than Ubuntu. Opensuse, fedora and linux mint.

 

norton dns
privatefirewall
sandboxie

it's light fast and awesome..

 

Nice setup AMS.

 

thx buddy..

 

Replaced Immunet with Panda Cloud
We shall see in a few days.......

 

How's PFW regarding performance? I'm thinking on switching from Sygate to this one on my low-end pc

What happened to Immunet? Not doing the job?

 

I pulled the trigger for Ubuntu since it has a large community and lots of support. I managed to install Ubuntu properly i just couldn't get grub to install properly. Even after starting a thread over there, they recommended me a few steps which screwed up my Windows Boot and it just won{t recognize neither of the 2 install (Windows or Ubuntu) i had to reformat the Ubuntu partition with Windows again so it installed the Windows bootmgr again . . . phew!!

 

@atomomega Immunet I'm sure does really well, but I've decided to change and try out Panda Cloud

As for PrivateFirewall, I personally think it is one of the lightest out there!
It does it's job well

 

a few pop ups on first day and no slowdown....when online, a traffic police officer in sys tray shows me red light occasionally. ....btw, i kept pfw on default settings...

Immunet.. doing a job or infact anything?. . .... ...a good one. .

 

@ams963 Of course Immunet does something! It did pretty okay in my testing!

 

Just added TinyWall

 

.. ....okay...sorry...if it worked for you then fine...but . .. nowadays any forum would go bananas on this.. ..

yikes. ..o it's actively supported alright. ...just look at https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1966290#post1966290

no no ..you got it all wrong...pfw does not look like a fine fw...it's an awesome fw...

 

@ams963 Thanks for the thread share looks like an awesome firewall then since it's coming from you

 

you're welcome pal. ...the installer is just around 8mb...and uninstalls pretty clean and effortless....so go ahead and try it already..

 

As I am a bit bored of CIS, I have changed my setup a bit, looking mainly for a light set-and-forget setup
