I don't have that problem J. It is on just justin tv. Have you tried another streaming sites?

Haha. We wouldn't want things to get sloppy

 

too late ...I'm already sloppy ....quit trialing eam......wobbly with baby fat....

 

Hi ams963

Rather than try to explain in words by PM, I thought an image is better. Hope you don't mind. I never use the Guard, as I run in on demand only.

 

LMAO. Guess you had to cut the baby fat

 

I am using avast webshield, behavior, and network shields, and script shields.
Should i add anything more? Free and light is good option.

 

Back to Avast Internet Security

 

Online Armor Firewall Free
Malwarebytes Free


Im Having Trouble Choosing Avira Free Or Avast Free

I Like Avira But It Seems Buggy In Its New Edition

 

thx a lot for pointing out that buddy .......yeah I can see that running eam as on-demand only significantly smooches out baby fat......but oh my pc's cheeks does not look good........

 

found a way to keep eam.....as on-demand only.......thx to Tarnak for pointing out .........

 

Avast is like an old girlfriend....just can't stay away!

 

"Weak" laptop
real-time: Look'n'Stop an ThreatFire...all together ca 9 MB RAM and 3,5% CPU...from time to time WTF.
Nice, light and smooth

 

wait till the new one finds out.........

 

Installed EAM. Installed Online Armor and turned off the HIPS.

 

hehe

 

Tweaked my Safe-Admin setup a little (Win7 x32 ultimate, behind a router, using windows image backup to 2nd harddrive and Synctoy for data backup to my NAS)

Windows FW two way, manually added programs/services to go outbound

Protection from Medium rights (LUA) to High rights (Admin/System)
1. UAC - Only allow elevation from safe places of signed programs
2. GPO - Deny installation of unsigned drivers by User & Deny auto-run plus installation by User from removable drives
3. ICACLS - Added a Mandatory Medium Level token to Mail and Mediaplayer (using Chromium which is unsigned so will never elevate) and other office software

Medium rights execution protection (User space deny execute)
1. SRP - Set default to basic user, only allowing from Root (Windir) and Programs Files to run unrestricted, added extra deny execute rules for USB drives (2x), allowed TEMP dir to run unrestricted (Temp is often used by installation software to unpack code)
2. ACL - Set a deny execute for Everyone on data and image backup drive
plus Chrome download - temp folders
3. 1806 - Changing zone/3 (internet) 1806 (downloaded executables protection) from 1 to 3. I have to manually unblock executables downloaded by mail or browser (this to close the TEMP - hole ),

Medium rights hardening of vulnarable registry entries and threat gates
1. ACL - (regedit) changed permission of users to prevent adding/changing HKCU registry key entries listed by Autoruns (so added a fake key for all empty entries)
2. EMET 2.1 (office, media player, browser, mail and foxit pdf reader)
3. Lot's of GPO hardening

Low rights containment from medium rights world
- Using Chrome (Low Rights sandbox) with
- Norton DNS, starting page.com and ghostery (tracking protection),
- Bitdefender traffic light (search and tracking OFF) and Googles safe browsing (phising & download reputation protection)

On demand (free cloud checks)
- HitmanPro,
- Norton Power Eraser,
- McFee Get Suspicious
