Can i,too,play this game?:


1-Avast
2-BOClean
3-ProSecurity 1.22.1 paid
4-ShadowUser

 

are any of these a firewall ?

 

Sorry if i missed something TECHWEG,as i did not read all the posts,but i read the first, which asks about 4 'anti-malware' applications to be chosen and not firewalls.

Is a firewall by definition an 'anti-malware'? I got my doubts about it.

If the question had been 'choose 4 security applications' i'd have surely
included a personal firewall.

I think the 4 i mentioned can more aptly be defined as 'anti-malware'.

 

I haven't done this in a while, I think (this is not my setup, just what I believe would be ideal)

CHX-I
SSM full with User interface disconnected
avira antivirus for on-demand only (could be replaced by KAV online scan)

C'est tout!

Alphalutra1

 

Tell me . First thing what do you think ZAP has with it? OS firewall with control of system functions. Secondly what about mentioning about other people who listed Kerio firewall or even CHX-i ? Why did you decide to pick my name out of a croud? Maybe you are paying attention to the wrong threads

 

TECHWEG, i hope by tomorrow morning you'll feel better.....

At 7.35 i posted my 4 antimalwares:

At 8.13 YOU 'picked me' quoting my choice and then asking:

At 8.27 i REPLIED to your picking saying :

Now, at 9.35 you wrote:

I wont comment on your remarks as i hope you'll come to your senses tomorrow and realise of what you said.

This thread has survived for over a year with folks simply listing their 4 Anti-Malware apps with brief comments sometimes. I'll ask that any further individual chit chat that needs to go on be confined to Wilders PM system and place a quote below from another thread that mirrors to a certain degree what needs to happen in this thread.

 

for me is

1) Nod32 (blackspear setting's) : fast and secure antivirus
2) Jetico v1 (free) : free, not so easy to use (at first glance) but very very secure.
3) Spyware terminator (free): good AT, but better as it monitorize start up folder/bho/system folder...
4) A2 squared (free): used on demand. as additional security layer

and ... fully patched win xp, browsing with opera and proxomitron, peerguardian,and thunderbird

Prevx1
Zone Alarm Pro
AVG Anti-Spyware (paid)
SpywareBlaster (paid for auto-update)

 

Kaspersky AV
System Safety Monitor Pro
ZoneAlarm Pro
Neoava Guard
----------------------------------------------------

I believe that these realtime security tools will offer the best protection, and they are IMO easy to use/understand, plus the GUI is not bad either. I have to admit that I have not tested KAV in this setup yet, but the other three can run together without any conflicts. If KAV is not compatible, I would probably choose Antivir Classic/Premium.

 

Since antivirus and a firewall don't quite fit the definition of being an anti-malware, I am using

Spyware Blaster
Ad-Adware
Spybot S & D
SuperAntiSpyware

 

KIS6
BOClean
HostsMan
PeerGuardian2

 

After investigating some of the programs mentioned in this thread, I have
Prevx1
NOD32
AVG Anti-Spyware
SpywareBlaster

Still have ZAP, but I believe that it does not answer the question. NOD32 is difficult, said by some, to configure; you just have to read manual, and slowly and carefully follow the instructions. NOD32 may be the best AV around now, because Kaspersky too buggy, conflicts with too many other apps. NOD32 runs quietly and lightly on my system. It plays nice with the others. Each of these four seem to overlap in what they prevent and/or clean, but in differing, non-conflicting way. I have just recently added NOD32 but I am impressed with its operation. I assumed before that with Prevx1 that I didn't need an AV with real-time protection, rather than considering that somewhat traditional AV approach, in the case of NOD32 an added dimension of rootkit and anti-spyware protection, with the Prevx approach of not relying as much on signatures. Prevx folk claim, rightly so, that it can function as a standalone "antivirus," "anti-spyware," and "anti-et_cetera-malware"; it is a consensus opinion that a layered approach to security is the best practice. router, with firewall, software firewall on the desktop, online community database HIPS(Host Intrusion Prevention System), real-time antivirus, real-time anti-spyware, on-demand rootkit detector, and on-demand anti-spyware. So in a sense, yea, even more, you have two non-conflicting antiviruses, three anti-rootkits, and four anti-spyware. I believe that I am correct in this formulation; please correct me if I am wrong. Of course even these may be undone if I have a stupid, careless brain.

Avira Antivir
Spyware Doctor 4.0

Maybe If I knew juts how strong trend Micro is I would have chosen it. I am not fond of anti-trojan apps since most antiviruses alreadyave many sigs for trojans. So AVG antispyware was a former anti-trojan so I didnt choose that.
Webroot Spysweeper si too heavy. Avira is jsut continually improving and very powerful.
