What is your security setup these days?

First...WTF is useful and helpful when I try to test some app that could be sometime very often (few time a day) if I have the "vein"
second...it's not my computer (my wife's) and sometimes all changes made by me have to be removed...you know
Keriver is allways the "last line of defense"...against own "enemy mine"

 

great then....

 

Well it's back to the "root"...Webroot that is...

 

Looking to change avast! into something else.. any recommendations?

Add On: Free or 6 months+ license recommendations only

 

I don't use AV for some time now, but as I read on these forums, Webroot has become popular among users.

If you go for free, I would recommend MSE.

 

panda cloud av.....

 

+1 on panda cloud av. If you got to facebook you can still get the pro version for 6 months.
Also if you looking for webroot check this out...http://store.downloadcrew.com/p18885-webroot_internet_security_essentials_2011_3-pc
Upgrades you to WSA after registration. Awesome deal.

 

Recently Panda Security got hacked by Anonymous.. Doesn't sound good for now

Webroot SecureAnywhere Essentials

 

Long time lurker ... first time poster.

I've been lurking on these forums for several months, and I've learned a lot from them.

Onto my security set-up:

For my main laptop:

Windows 7 64-Bit
UAC Max
DEP enabled.

Real Time:

Webroot Secureanywhere Complete
Spyshelter
Malwarebytes Pro

On-Demand:

Shadow Defender
Trend Micro Housecall
Superantispyware (portable)
Dr. Web Cureit
Eset Nod32 online scanner

Browsers:

Google Chrome -- Scriptno and Adblock
Firefox -- NoScript

Other software:

Eraser
Roboform
True Crypt
System Mechanic and CCleaner to clean out the excess stuff.

For my netbook:

Windows 7 32-Bit

Standard account

Real Time:

Webroot Secureanywhere Antivirus
Look 'n' Stop Firewall

On Demand:

Malwarebytes Pro

And the same other scanners that I use on my main laptop. The only exception is Shadow Defender, because my netbook does not support virtualization.

Browsers:

Same as above, except without Adblock for Chrome.

Other software:

Also have nearly the same setup as my laptop, minus Eraser.

For my mom's laptop:

Windows 7 64-Bit

Standard user account (only I have the password and the administrator credentials)

Real Time:

Eset Nod32 (paid for by me).
Threatfire
Malwarebytes Pro (but only in the admin account, and also paid for by me).

On-Demand:

Malwarebytes Pro (for her account).
Shadow Defender

And the same scanners I use as above, as well as the same browsers with the same add-ons.

Other software:

I also have Truecrypt, Eraser, etc installed on hers. The only exception is the absence of Roboform.

So that's my first post, and it is a long one, now innit? I hope to contribute more to the forums.

EDIT: Removed EMET as it was causing problems.

 

I forgot to also add I installed Trusteer Rapport on all three PCs.

 

What about system backup software as on-demand? It can save you a lot of trouble if something goes wrong.

 

I should add two of the PCs are a Dell, and Dell Datasafe works well as a system backup. My main laptop is an HP, and I have tested out different system backup software for it, though I do have my files saved on Dropbox, ADrive and other sites, as well as backed up to an external source.

 

New setup.....AppGuard and BitDefender Traffic Light. So far so good.

You've been lurking and have indeed learned a lot. A very solid setup on both computers...

 

I've mentioned it before... but, I'll mention it again... just in case...

When you allow by Publisher or Hash, what you're trying to achieve with Deny execution from AppData folder, exception to publisher and hashes.... forget it, it won't work.

A Publisher rule means that any file signed by the Publisher is executed (you can fine tune for specific versions and all that; but malware faking that, gets to be executed, for example).

A Hash rule means that the file will be launched, regardless of where it is located.

 

Yeah, I should remove that (wasn't paying attention) as I only deny execution from teh ramdisk now.

 

Updated PCAV the other day. Sig has not changed otherwise.
