What is your security setup these days?

LOL. So you are now only testing ESET beta?

 

Yep just ESET for now.

 

faronics for now and it is rock solid password protected anti-executable

 

Oh well, good luck beta testing.

 

I never liked password protecting my apps. It's kind of a hassle and very inconvenient. Are you not using HitmanPro J?

 

ofcourse i am look at my hat man
now Online Armor is one of the best programs i ever testedvery powerfull and development is very active

 

I like your hat man, beach ball colors.

 

Ah yes the hat OA is powerful but looks kind of ancient compared to EAM. I think OA is a little left out by Emsisoft in favor to EAM.

 

Norton Connect Safe
Emsisoft Antimalware
Online Armour Premium
Malwarebytes Antimalware PRO
HitmanPro paid
Keyscrambler Pro
Sandboxie paid
Keriver 1-Click Restore

How's my setup? Is it overlapping in any way? Do I need anything else?

 

@ams963

I considered your recommendation and bought a 1-year x3 PC licence of HitmanPro. I hope it really comes to use.
As for now it is scanning the system, and the funny part is that it has detected some of my own programs written in vb.net as a Trojan ! these programs are just some database management system. The rest result seems to be some false positive...

Honestly I think it's a little disappointing...

 

you can always ignore a fp and exclude it from removal if you know that they are safe files

 

Trust me my friend it's very much worth it. Just look around. And you will see lot's of members here are using HitmanPro free or paid version. And it may catch a program initially as it scans with the behavioral analysis thing. Then if found something suspicious it will upload to the cloud where the file gets scanned with multi reputed AV engine databases. The malware removal of HitmanPro is one of the best.

 

Did full scan on both my pc and laptop. In my PC there was 8 false positive and about 50 false positive in my laptop. And HitmanPro marked all of them as serious threats. Actually they were mostly innocent files. It even marked a mp3 player software I wrote in VB.NET

I knew my system were not infected, but just wanted to make sure with HitmanPro. Some of you guys might not like this, But I think HitmanPro is just making up some false positive to make people believe they are infected.
I will give you an example. I have a vga custom driver tool which is called PowerStrip. HitmanPro marked it as a Virus because the file name is "PStrip.exe". The reason is obviously the word "Strip" and I think this is the worst algorithm for a scanner to judge a file.

 

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Do you run rollback software (timemachine)? This software is currently incompatible with HitmanPro.
Were the items listed as Suspicious (yellow shield)? If you see a red shield you can expand the row to see which scanner flagged the file.

I assure you, this is not how HitmanPro works. Can you post a log or screenshot?

 

I used to depend on HitmanPro,not anymore. It's detecting alot of safe software such as Magicjack phone service as malware,no thanks. I got rid of antivirus software years ago,because it couldnt be relied upon,and this is becoming the case for HitmanPro as well.

Uninstalled

 

Wow thats Insane.

 

i never had any problems with hitmanpro at the contrary is doing very good at removing malware and i clean some computers with heavy infections without any false positive

 

As usual my daily Hitman Pro scans are coming back clean. Infrequently there can be an alert for some obscure program I've loaded, but that's a one-click fix in HMP.

 

harsh too......

 

Same here. HitmanPro is top-class

 

MBAM Pro is set to update and then scan once a day. Hitman Pro scans on boot. I use the a2emergencykit scanner in Emsisoft Emergency Kit every week or so. The Download folder is sandboxed where new files are unpacked and get a MBAM right-click scan before being moved out of the sandbox.

Keriver 1-Click is the free version. I also have a Macrium Reflect system image stored on a separate drive.

 

They were all red, and mostly the scanner which flagged files was dr.web.
And I don't have a timemachine or anything like that.

I wish I captured the screen. Let me see if I can find the log.

 

I do a default scan every morning with HMP. I don't have the paid version but I really don't need it. If I get infected I have a ton of things to delete/block it.

 

Actually I don't need it either, I just want to make extra attention to security this year because I am managing a few servers remotely and can't risk to lose data or passwords...

 

I use Hitman pro for OD scans no license. I had Faronics AE scanned as suspicious but Erik clearly explained why it was back in another thread, but other then that no false positives.
