Very nice one... How you are using Defensewall and Sandboxie? together (the 2 in real time)? or added the Sandboxed apps to Defensewall exclusions and added C:/Sandbox to Defensewall protection??

sandboxie is in untrusted app w/in defensewall ... so everything that runs under sandboxie will automatically run untrusted in defensewall ... if anything pass through sandboxie (w/c is unlikely) defensewall will come to the rescue. I like this setup for it is very light and effective ... no need for a real-time antivirus for me. I scan from time to time using hitman pro though just to be sure.

Yeah is very good indeed. I used this defensewall/sandboxie combo in the same way sometime ago... the only problem i noticed in that time is the increase time in opening some apps.... nothing much.... but if comparing with the security acquired... for sure you can live with that

Currently:

Standard User account + Software Restriction Policy + DEP + SEHOP + No Autorun for all devices (Group Policy/gpedit) + Windows Built-in Firewall.

Prevx SafeOnline Facebook promotion (protect browser) - Use the System scan to check the status of my system files too (if they show a G or GP before the file in the scan log the file is in the cloud whitelist so is original and not tampered).

Running through a Xen Virtual Machine.

normal windows firewall

mbam

trojan remover

spybot (don't even know why I installed, since I almost never use it haha)

hijackthis

windows defender

microsoft security essentials

and that's about it....why even waste my time filling up my pc with apps that I rarely need....all these real-time app do nothing but munch on system resources, and besides...the sites I visit contain no viruses at all, so I never bother with real-time protection.

Either you are lying or this is a provocative reply to make others start barking!!! For starters don't tell me you are substituting a main antivirus system like Eset or Kaspersky for Windows Essetials. Your PC must be quite infected by the way. In my case trojan remover has never had a chance to remove anything thanks to Eset or Kaspersky.

My favourite security set ups nowaday are:

On my desktop, I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 :dance2: .It has everything and is excellent: Antivirus, Antispyware and anti-trojan components, 2 way-firewall, sandie-box, anti-logger, ....everything.+ Malwarebytes' Antimalware :D .

On my laptop Eset Smart Security which is also very complete and very good + Malwarebyte+ IO Bit Security. I used to have Lavasoft to counter-attack leaks in defense unti it became incompatible with Eset :( .

Why aren't you a moderator any longer? Lack of time?

Bye.

Why would I lie, that doesn't even make sense. I was just saying what my security spec was.

And why would I wanna start an argument war over something so trivial as security setup?

But you're right.

How dare I post my oppinion on a forum! Posted Image

I should burn in hell for my sinful act :evil:

For starters don't tell me you are substituting a main antivirus system like Eset or Kaspersky for Windows Essetials.

And what would you do, if I say yes? Posted Image

And besides, even when I had eset, I kept it closed for the most part, cause whatever sites I browsed were safe.

Now don't go telling me that sites like animedownloadcenter, NyaaTorrents or mangashare are full of bloatware.

Posted Image

Weather I chose an av over eset or kasp at the end of the day, is still my choice. It's a matter of personal taste after all.

Just because 90% of the forum uses these av's, doesn't mean I should use it as well....I admit, at first, I was an eset fanatic, but I just got tired of it just sitting around, detecting nothing cause of the little sites I was browsing. Seemed like a waste of time to even keep it around.

Your PC must be quite infected by the way. In my case trojan remover has never had a chance to remove anything thanks to Eset or Kaspersky.

And you say that because I don't have eset or kaspersky, or just because of an assumption?

My PC is quite safe. The only things MBAM picks up are the reg keys I chose to disable from the security center. And hijackthis isn't detecting anything in particular.

Posted Image

Trojan remover detects nothing....spybot s&d also detects nothing.....I installed hitman pro, which also picked up nothing.....so why would I still need a real-time protection av around, when all I browse are anime based forums and warez sites like ND, appznet and d3scene?

Why aren't you a moderator any longer? Lack of time?

Something like that. I recently moved to a bigger apartment, and am in the midst of unpacking...you wouldn't believe how much s**t I have, that only belongs to me....and since I'm such a lazy bastard when it comes to unpacking, moving from the bed to the PC actually takes some time.

Not to mention the fact that I have other numerous chores to attend to, but once I finish the unpacking, I'll return to my duties as a moderator. Posted Image

I agree w/ Marik ... use the tools that would work for you ... I myself don't even use a real-time AV and I browse "unfriendly sites" ... no AV can save your a$$ when it comes to 0 day malware ... you can only depend on your own.
