What is your security setup these days?

yes I know I know.Not sure what exactly was causing it I even shut down mbam to rule that out,but made no difference.Its to bad because I like it a lot.maybe it dont agree with my system.

 

Whats Samarai? Sounds like your kernel is not to be messed with.

 

well you can always contact Joe or wsa support you know ......

 

man i went to the dentist today i feel bad

 

you should have given the dentist your hips.....he would feel bad

 

lol
by the way how is OA?

 

oa rocks but having some problems which I'm now processing in the emsisoft forum.....some conflicts with wsa.....anyways, what settings you got in oa, J?....

 

for registry and files protection i set it to block for unknown and untrusted files and same for registry protection and run safer for unknown programs and run my browser safer with a nice green color border

 

Yep hopefully they did. Since I don't use Avast I wouldn't know

 

Sorry to hear that j,Feel better man.

 

thanks dave

 

ah! I see.....great.....too bad no green color for me......working with emsisoft forum to solving this.....

 

yeah me too

 

aww?.....what about me? ......

 

You probably already know this,but a maximum screen you will not see the boarder you have to restore down when you open the browser.As long as the show green boarder is checked in the settings you should see it.If not then perhaps it has a little bugie and not feeling well.

 

thx D.......but that does not work....Windows Media Player works fine showing green color....emsisoft forum stuff suspects conflict with wsa.....I also had eam conflicting with wsa...and eam forum solved the prob by releasing a beta update....let's see if oa forum stuffs can replicate the prob and provide a solution as well ........

 

Another relic designed for XP platforms in particular. I had problems running the whole app but found that it's driver install protection was the best protection service it offered which was the kernel guard driver. Just the driver alone could be utilized as a very strong deterent against any forced driver loading into the XP system. Using a simple driver loader app, it works to perfection by starting/stopping it on-the-fly without issue.

yeap Samurai Hips i remenber this one

 

@ EASTER thanks for the Answer and sounds good.

 

setting up my Software Restriction Policy

 

Dunno about other newer platforms or if even relevant and compatible with them, but you can test it for yourself on XP's and then try to simply open any on-demand anti-rootkit app like Ice Sword or other and you'll find the driver they require to operate "cannot" load! Which means no way for any malware driver to try to spike your system either

"driver failed to initialize" is a welcome display when it's started. And it's stupidly simple when set to "manual" to start/stop it on-the-fly with absolutely no system problems whatsoever.

 

ISP service includes email scanner and spam-filter. Wireless Router with WPA2, SPI (message range) with Flood/Poisoning/Spoofing protection and Comodo Secure DNS (is Ultra-DNS) as primary and Norton DNS (on malware) as secondary name server.

Running as Limited User on Windows7 x32 ultimate with OS-build-in security:

----------- from network stack to process stack ------------------
Use Windows FW both for inbound and outbound. Added a deny execute on receiving folders of browser, e-mail and media player using Access Control Lists (ACL) deny execute/traverse folder for Users.

--- from Low Rights (Protected mode) to Medium Rights (LUA) ---
Using Comodo Dragon (incognito) with Chrome sandbox and build in safe browsing, added Adblock (extension). Using 1806-trick to assign additional deny execute on downloaded executables.

-------- from Medium (LUA) rights to High (Admin) Rights ---------
SRP with basic user as default level (all files, admin excluded) which acts as deny execute in user folders plus GPO hardening of USB drives by disabling autorun and installation. Still possible to install signed EXE and MSI with "runas admin" through secure-desktop. Added EMET 2.1 memory overflow protection and RunAsInvoker file and registry virtualisation on browser, email, mediaplayer and (Foxit) PDF-reader.

--------------------------- On demand -----------------------------
- Windows7 Image backup (saved a clean install to revert to)
- Sync Toy data backup (quick save to old 2nd HD, NAS for pictures and USB disk for business data).
- Hitman Pro free quick scan before monthly data backup

 

Microsoft Security Essentials 4.0 beta and Spyshelter 6.1

 

Can't Comodo FW-D+ or EQSecure v4.0 Beta3 block kernel driver loading?

 

EQSecure v4.0 Beta3 does for sure
