What is your security setup these days?

is there a free version of Webroot ?

 

Unfortunately not.

 

what do you think about Robo scan ??

 

Never heard of it.

 

well i changed my security set up and now i am running ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 with Hips in interactive mode and all settings set to the max and heuristics
i also put my rirewall router in high level and also use my 1806 trick and HitmanPro ondemand

 

How. Could. You.!
You ended your streak

 

I found protection rather...... weak

 

KelvinW4 streak 3 and i am out lol

 

Jmonge how did you put your router on high

 

i put my ip adress in the browser then it shows my router page i just log in and find where it says firewall and it shows nat router,low,medium and high so i check where it says high and i also check what ever i want to block file sharing,messenger(yahoo)etc etc and then at the bottom hit saved reboot and booyaaa

 

i don't understand i thought that routers have inbound Blocking
setting it on high mean also outbound blocking ?
what's your router is it the same one you used to use ?

 

it has in/out trafic control i never saw a single pop up it just blocks stuff in real time
for services and services ports
they all come with a default settings or nat settings but i prefer in high level all the time
also i set WAN PING block mode: Enable When enabled, the modem will not respond to all pings from WAN side.
in high it shows firewall table which is huge then that is when you dirty your hands warning may lose internet connectivity

 

it must be an expensive router

 

not really it comes with my internet provider i just login and play with it it is nice to spend time and learn dont know why i even use OA just with my antivirus and some tweaking is more than enough

 

i really love hitmanpro

 

i want to buy a new router
is there a free product xD

anyway MBAM scanning became Really fast

 

you should ask your internet provider for an upgrade
mbam scaning is slow here lol

 

EAM in deep Scan takes the cake for Sloooooow.

 

Yes, it's the slowest I've ever used. It took 7hr 55mins to scan my system (280959 files)

 

that is very slow indeed

 

Must be a conflict on your system. 624,088 took 31 minutes 51 seconds on mine.

 

Might be. I just don't know what app would it be (MD, SBIE?).
I was using Emsisoft Emergancy kit deep scan. It took it a lot of time scanning folder full of jpg files. When I run custom scan and made exceptions for jpg, avi and similar files, the scan time dropped to an hour and a half.

 

EEK doesn't have v6 engine yet and the v5 engine was very slow. Thats why you are getting the slow deep scan.

 

I have EAM resident on my system. That is probably why.

 

OK. Thank you both for clarification.
