Whats your security setup?

[SliverSamuel]

ESET Security and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is all I need :)

[filenox]

The times that you needed 20 different antimalwarepacks are over because Windows has become much more secure over time. So on my laptop i'm running Windows 7 wich is the most secure OS witch Microsoft can offer & Microsoft Security Essentials witch runs just great, low memory footprint, great performance and security, the way it should be. Desktop-side I'm running Mac OSX SL so extra security isn't necessary, yes I know there are antivirusapps for OSX but mostly they only scan for Windows-malware (so you will not send trojans etc to your best Windows-using friends by accident when you forward some mails)

[Kryptik]

This is my system:

Windows 7 Ultimate

Norton 360 v.5

Router Firewall 256bit Encryption

I.P. Changer

Secure Pass Key 256 bit Encryption

Drive Encryption 256 bit

Dump Modual 2tb Removable

Drive Killer Injection System ( for my personel security)

And other "Fail Safe" Devices

Drive Killer Injection System? What the hell is that? :)

Using:

Applocker

MS Forefront Endpoint Security client

MS Firewall With inbound closed 100%

Ms Firewall With otbound closed and my own filter settings

Surfing sometimes in Sandboxie

and allways download files to Sandboxie

Hardening tcpip settings

Hardening IE8 settings

Hardening Windows 2008 R2, admin UAC settings ON

Malwarebytes, no realtime protection

The enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit ( EMET )

I have Outpost Firewall with lifetime license, but not using it now

[tipo]

Rollback rx

Zonealarm Free firewall - block all inbound (block hosts file)

sandboxie

changing the realtime AV quite often (so i can`t mention 1)

hitman pro

malwarebytes (on demand)

Light but efficient setup.

So you use a 2008 R2 as main pc ? About Forefront Endpoint Protection, you can use it as "unmanaged" (possible on a home desktop ?) ?

Cheers.

[streamer_]

YES you can run Forefront Endpoint Protection as unmanage. Its look like MSE !

And i run The enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit ( EMET )

[spootnack]

Thank you.

I tested it. (Like this I tested MSE 2 too ^_^ )

I think there is no real advantages to using Forefront Endpoint Protection over MSE in the context of a home usage....Based on the table you provided. (thanks)(Or am I wrong ?)

++

[HX1]

IMO... There are a few points in the chart which should be considered.. even for home use.. However it does list a few things that most home users with only one system will never really use.. BUT you have to consider other factors such as having your system open in these areas .. should you go to a Public hub or to a friends house.. even if someone comes over to use your Internet... SO.. from my angle.. its a YES and a NO.. maybe is never out of the question...

[dim505]

shadow defender with malwarebytes and super anti spy-ware

[shajt]

I tested it. (Like this I tested MSE 2 too ^_^ )

What's your security setup these days Sir ? :)

What's your security setup these days Sir ? :)

Something like that, Sir ^_^ :

PeerBlock (with uTorrent only)

Sandboxie Pro

Prevx with SafeOnline (not on my main PC)

On-Demand :

AM :

Hitman Pro

And, all softwares are up-to-date. (+ A wireless connection secured by a strong, 8 bits WEP key. => I'm joking :lol: )

That's it.

Cheers.

PS: What do you think about it guys ??

PSS: I'm trying to understand the concept of Applocker / SRP (if I could have some benefits with it...) but don't really see... Yet I am not stupid... -_-

PSS: What dou you think about some passiv tweaks like provides "Spyware Blaster", is it usefull ? And what about browser's addons ?

@spootnack ,

interesting setup, looks very nice and profi :)

I have only Comodo firewall running (everything else inside Comodo disabled and I mean everything, just plain industrial firewall is ON ) :)

Windows built-in security is all OFF.

I'm contemplating about installing Prevx , but I don't know ... I don't need it really, but it's nice, lightweight and efficient tool.

Doesn't take up resources , feels very light.

But I don't catch them malware , can't remember if I ever did.

But there is always piece of mind if something is there to protect you , that's the problem ^_^

I'll see , but for now, occasional on-demand scan with Hitman and MBAM are good enough , don't have a need for anything else.

In the end, it all really depends if you know what u r doing or not, if u know what ur doing, there is no way something can sneak in.

[shajt]

Prevx added ^_^

Awesome app. , written amazingly good , can't wait for their v4 :sneaky:

[blah!]

On my setups:

Realtime:

-ESET 4 (antivirus only)

-MVPS hosts file

-common sense

On-demand:

-SUPER Anti-spyware regular

---

On my nettop with only 1GB RAM:

Realtime:

-MVPS hosts file

-common sense

On-demand:

-SUPER Anti-spyware regular

---

Thinking about using ClearCloud DNS or Norton DNS as well for another layer of protection.

[portage]

Realtime: Prevx

On Demand: Hitman Pro

OS: XP Pro SP3

Temporary.. as usual

[AndromedaAnima]

I only use...

- ESET NOD32

- Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

- Windows Firewall (not that it helps, but I haven't had any conflicts with it turned on)

[Jin]

My Current Setup:

Realtime-

1.NOD32 v2 (Disabled: DMON,EMON)

2.PrevX

3.Winpatrol (My DOG on-watch)

Firewall-

Look & Stop

On Demand-

1.MBAM

2.Hitman

Virtualization-

Sandboxie (Running suspicious files and trialing other apps)

[ambiti]

have no security, using ubuntu :)

[marshall39]

Kaspersky Internet Security now! :)

I use to run Nod32 and Outpost firewall , but why use two apps when only one does the same? and does it well ^_^

[elohelomg]

have no security, using ubuntu :)

linux. it feels so weird roaming around naked in the jungle. I've been distro hopping, and have (for the time being) settled down with zen.

For the security paranoid, run linux for a while. reminds you of the freedom xD

[someone]

For the security paranoid, run linux for a while. reminds you of the freedom xD

Amen to that.

Current one:

Standart User Account

UAC at Max.

Applocker

Windows Firewall

EMET

Changed local policies to only elevate signed executables, to not automatically detect installations and elevate, to prompt for Ctrl+alt+del before prompt for credentials to elevate and some security policies regarding Internet Explorer.

Sandboxie

Prevx without safeonline (waiting for v4)

Avast and Avira without realtime shields (only as on-demand)

Sometimes accesschk

Macrium Reflect for backups

[toyo]

I see no freedom at all when I'm not able to run neither of my applications that keep me from dying of hunger or something, like CS5, Ableton Live (and the VSTs I need). When I add to that the no-gaming issue, Linux just fails for me. It obviously has its uses, but for a personal computer... I don't think so.

Maybe after a few years or so, depending on the software publishers, it's their decision to start making apps for Linux. Personally, if Adobe would successfully port their CS on Linux I'd give it a shot.
