    I have GDATA IS 2009, SAS PRO, MBAM PO. What else is there a man needs to have his computer totaly safe? I dont mean backup solutions, that i also have, but do i need some kind off email encryprions? Some software so i can browse without leaving a trace behind?

    Any special rookit, fileprotector, cpuhider, hddlocker?? Or does I need anymore than i have?

    I am only curious:D

    (Genesis, Invisible Touch) OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

    Your needs depend entirely on what you're going to do and your usage of the machine on the internet. That's pretty much it. If you're going to throw common sense out the window and do wild and crazy things, then good luck, nothing will protect you 100%. :)

    I would consider using a Hosts file - such as MVPS or HPGuru's.

    Also, I would never play Invisible Touch on my PC, for fear of getting the Phil Collins virus. No security that I know can eradicate that virus! :)

    The only thing I would add would be a HD imaging program like Acronis or something

    Your probably over protected at this point.

    If you're running SAS Pro & MBAM Pro with GData, Which uses 2 engines you're pretty much untouchable IMO.

    But nothing is 100%.

    I changed my firewall this night. I run some test and GDATA`s firewall was as leak as(dont know the english word!!) So i changed to GDATA AV and installed Comodo firewall 3.5. After running the same tests it blocked every one of them.

    Host file? What is it? "Such as MVPS or HPGuru" What kind of programs is this? Has it with the firewall to do? o_O

    Who cares
    It is a file that contains a list of domains which are blocked from being accessed. There are a lot of programs which are used to insert dangerous domain in that list, so they can't be accessed.

    BTW: If you're using firefox you can try keyscrambler, the free version covers it and it's a quite handy tool

    A quick short list for you:

    Online Armor Free
    Avira Free
    SandboxIE Free
    MBAM
    SAS
    I'm sure theres many more.....................

    All the above can reasonably translate for you to a full premium product for you once you finally become familiar with them & in the meantime discover their extraordinary protection and clean-up abilities.

    And this is but just a short list to chew on awhile while observing their potential.

    Or use both with HostsXpert to merge them (and eliminate dups.).

    You have 4 anti malware engines and no HIPS - far from untouchable

    Edit: you got D+?

    After chatting with agnitum they found my lifetime licence for outpost firewall. So i switched from comodo.( i suddenly remembered that i had one licence floating around.)

    I am not sure, but i think there is HIPS within outpost PRO 2009. Personally i like outpost slightly better than comodo. It could be because i have never learn to understand every single thing with comodo.

    And thanks so much for all of the replies!!:thumb: :D :D I learn something new every day about pc security through this forum!

    Malware is doomed for sure now, theres simply too many ballisitic offensive resources they can't keep up with and more users have taken haven to those protections against whatever they can imagine let alone impliment against us.

    Not only that, but i been monitoring their cracking commercial products for months and for the first time in a long time, those sites are closed up shop finally :thumb:
