What is your security setup these days?

Thank you for the suggestion, I haven't tried AVG yet. Mainly I want a simple lightweight AV to check downloads after uncompressing them in the sandboxed download folder and before taking them out. I do a lot of downloading for game mods and flight sim planes and scenery, probably averaging something like 10 files a day. It's usually done from reputable sites, but reputable sites can always get hacked temporarily.

Detection rates, low false positives, and then lightness are what I'm looking for. Using those criteria, a person (okay, me ) can spend a lot of time comparing the charts at the top of this thread: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=316605

 

I thinks so with the occasional on demands.Thanks Jose.

 

I agree its a good program and not heavy but still some slown downs.

 

kaspersky pure is way faster than kaspersky antivirus

 

Interesting...I remember when Pure was about to be released, numerous Kaspersky folks said it was impressive but I haven't heard much lately.

What your says about this security combination:
- Avast! Free
- Windows 7 Firewall + Windows Defense
- Sandboxie
- Wondershare Time Freeze
- UAC
- EMET

 

Mamutu + Comodo Firewall + Kingsoft PC Doctor + AdBlock Plus Experimental & TrafficLight (Chrome)

 

Added Calomel SSL Validation add-on to Firefox.

I'm not making many changes to my security setup these days... ever since adding Sandboxie.

 

I guess Pure is based on 2010 version and 2012 ver is supposedly faster than that.

 

yeap

 

removed noscript ff add-on....it's quite a hassle.....added winpatrol plus..........

 

Never did get a chance to try the new Avira 12 Premium so I blew the dust off my still good Avira license and am giving a whirl. So far things are going quite well. One thing though, you can sure tell the difference running a full AV on your box versus the cloud with WSA or Panda...

i am trying SpyShelter

 

Whilst I like Kaspersky and its out of the box settings, it's just a little too heavy for me. I think I'm going to rely solely on MBAM PRO, Sandboxie and a good dose of common sense.

 

oh yes, common sense... well, when it comes to security common sense scares me.

Thanks. .

 

change your signature quick xD

anyway back to the Deadly Green Kis

 

don't worry.....he's got 5+ pcs.....I think two of them got hitman pro and spyshelter........
anyways, how are you coping with kis?....what's your pc's ram and kis ram usage?.....how many processes kis got?.......feel any sloppiness in browsing, downloading?....how's the scan speed?.....
