Your most favourite security app

Instant recovery app (Deep Freeze, Returnil, etc. take your pick)
and
Anti-Executable

behind a Linksys WRT54G Router.

Period.

 

DefenseWall Personal Firewal, WinPatrol PLUS, Emsisoft Mamutu, Returnil System Safe/Wondershare Time Freeze

 

I would also like to add DyDNS and Paragon Backup & Recovery.

 

What can get through DW?

 

Other than the trusting something that shouldn't be trusted, I can't think of anything that can get through. I'd like to know what these weak points are myself. Please enlighten us.

 

the only weak point i can see is the user adding a malware to the trusted area but the weaker here is the user and not defensewall

 

In default mode, it isolates everything coming from Internet/USB/Network Shares. It is up to user to run an executable as trusted. With proper settings, I am sure nothing can bypass it right now. I have added my important files and folders in secure area and tested numerous scenarios. None of untrusted file/executable can access them until I exclusively grant permissions to access them.

 

Hi:

Well here is what AV-comperative says for the defensewall weakpoint.

"DefenseWall HIPS does not block e.g. buffer overflows, phishing attacks, internet connections/browser hijacks."

So thats what defensewall misses but I guess CIS 5 will fill this gap maybe?

 

this thread is going waaaay off-topic... remember... it's so easy... Your most favourite security app. which is far different from "what's your favourite security setup?"...

 

Sandboxie

 

Look at my sig - this trio is my fav.
Hard to say and choose only one software as most favourite...

 

Don't forget that test was from may 2009 with version 2.53, almost a year and a half ago, and DW still stoped everything AVC through at it.
The current version 3.07 has a number of improvements including a two way firewall sense then.
Although no one solution (or any setup for that matter) can provide 100% protection, DefenseWall comes pretty damn close.
But a layered security setup is always the best choice, IMO.
So long as there is no (or very little) overlapping.

Back OT.......
Can't make up my mind which is my favorite, DefenseWall or Shadow Defender.

 

I can't pick just one:

AV: Panda Cloud

Anti-Spyware: Windows Defender

DNS: ClearCloud

System toolkit thingy: Rising PC Doctor.

Firewall: PricateFirewall

If I had to pick just one Panda Cloud would be the one I would pick however.

 

Good Afternoon ! Prevx 3.0 with Safe-On-Line. Sincerely...Securon

 

Prevx

 

good afternoon i will say DefenseWall Sincerely...jmonge
i copied Securon

 

Limited user account with an anti-executable of any brand.

 

Still Sandboxie. But Acronis True Image influences all security decisions, since a system image makes everything else less critical.

Edit: I was way off, jmonge, Securon's avatar must be The King of Rocket Men, not the League of Extraodinary Gentleman.

 

cool

 

Considering Shadow Defender's website will be gone (if things don't change) by april 2011, I think there's no point on hoping for it to be further developed. Abandonware... So sad. Anyway, I guess my most favourite security app (it was sharing No. 1 with SD) will be VIPRE Premium. Such a great well-rounded security solution, very powerful yet extremely little impact on system resources... and pocket ($$$)...

 

I like Malware Defender

 

Rollback RX

 

Hope we hear something before April.

I will have to look into Vipre after reading this post.
