You can only have 4 Anti-Malware apps: What would you run?

ye. you have changed your setup again!

with kav im worried about the bad update problem happening again.

but kav+prevx1
or kav+online Armour would be good.
but then i would need a firewall if i had online Armour wouldn't i?

 

that was a one time thing and could happen to any vendor. And has from what I hae read. Eset had server issues, but that doesnt take away from the high quality of their product.

 

Just now I'm using

AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
BOLean 4.22.002
CounterSpy 1.5
SpywareBlaster 3.5.1

Best regards,
Firefighter!

 

i agree with you trjam as i have said before it could happern to any vendor. i know that sometimes f=secure updates dont install properly and fail a so called CFC check. im guessing it checks it and if its corrupt then if it is corrupt it dont install it. but dont quote me on that because im just guessing that is what the cfc check is for. if anyone know what it is please tell me

 

I have NOD32 2.51.26
AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.0
Counterspy 1.5.82
And just to bump up the security even further Comodo Firewall 2.3.6.81

 

Cheater , its 4 anti-malware not 5. You probably going overkill with Spy Sweeper and Counter Spy though.

omg spysweeper and counterspy. i hope not both in real time that could make a pc of any speed slow IMO.

 

In front a router and a AlphaShield Hardware firewall.

OL (active)

ZA Pro
SpySweeper 5.0
BitDefender 9.0 standard
SpyBlaster
Spam Monitor (it learns)

"You can only have 4 Anti-Malware apps: What would you run?"

If i could only have 4.

1. Firewall
2. HIPS
3. AV
4. Backup image.

Not naming products as there are lots that fall into these categories. But i would like those categories covering.

muf

 

v14

Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Outpost Firewall Pro
Prevx1

 

If you haven't noticed already, everyone in this forum is going overkill!

 

1. Look 'n' Stop (+ Router)
2. Prevx1
3. FirstDefense-ISR (Frozen Snapshot = Anti-Changes)
4. ... (I'm waiting for a thread with only 3 Anti-Malware apps.)

Look 'n' Stop is a bit overkill, but everybody makes mistakes.

 

Overkill!

Try 0 AV and AMW no firewall and dive in with IE (x) in default mode.

Then you would find out what overkill really means.

4 locks is better than 3.

 

Its not overkill, its going madly insane!

dja2k

 

That would be underkill.

 

1) NOD32 (antivirus, anti-spyware)
2) AVG Anti-Spyware (anti-spyware, anti-trojan)
3) ZoneAlarm Pro (firewall, anti-spyware, program/application control)
4) SocketShield (socket-level protection)

 

1.K
2.I
3.S
4.6

 

you cheated thats only one product IMO.

 

Online Armor AV+
Comodo Firewall
BOClean
Prevx1

v15

CHX-I Packet Filter
Ghost Security Suite
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Prevx1

 

KAV6
look n stop
trend micro

what ya know thats only 3 IMO.

that could be my new setup except i might get comodo instead of look n stop because of price.

 

WS,

When trying all these different combinations of security software (i.e., v15), what do you do to keep your system clean, tweaked, and running well (i.e., installing and uninstalling software often leaves behind files/drivers/etc. that can cause problems with future installs)?

TIA

 

if its not a fresh install, i just uninstall the software i no longer want and then run ace utilities.
