What security setup do you have?

[pwr]

I was wondering... What kind of security setup does people here use?

I, myself, only have Avira free installed, since my usual firewall of choice - online armor - isn't yet compatible with win 7.

I use NOD32 AV, spybot S&D, defender and malware bytes. UAC also disabled

 

[EarlZ]

UAC disabled, Windows Firewall and Nod32 x64 antivirus, nothing else needed really.

Im wondering if i should switch to Nod32 security suit or just stay with the free windows firewall.

 

[Flik]

Avast av, Comodo firewall, Malware bytes, spywareblaster with UAC disabled.

I'd stick with just NOD32 for the time being. Wait until eset updates the firewall to work properly with win 7

I've decided to give M$ a change to show if they can take care of my security needs. At home all rigs (2 laptops, 1 desktop) have MSE, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.

Working well, no problems at all. I am satisfied.

EDIT: I like the extra security UAC gives. Happy to have it always turned on.

AVG w/ UAC.

 

[SoLoR]

admin account only, MSE, windows firewall (ill probably turn it off, once i can be bothered to set ip6tables on my linux router) and most important _brains_.

 

[24c]

MSE and Windows firewall - UAC off

 

[swarfega]

windows firewall, uac, spybot, malware bytes, MSE.

 

[Orbital Shark]

Windows Firewall, UAC, Avast! Pro (paid for)....

I'm a firm believer that the UAC does more than just protect you from web threats. Just imagine somehow deleting a file that is needed to get your system booted up, nightmare..... Not that I would, 15 years working with PC's has made me 'virtually' immune to screw ups

I say virtually because in the 'Virtual' world I created in my head i can do no wrong LOL

 

[swarfega]

indeed shark, uac has its uses as you said.

Guys I have a software firewall built-in to my router (netgear wg614). It has packet filtering.

Is this firewall all I need? Or should I leave the Norton Internet Security 2009 firewall on my PC turned on?

Edit: I will of course leave the other features (antivirus etc... tuned on, just need advice on the firewall).

Thanks,

Blessed One.

If the router firewall is capable enough to do what Norton/Windows firewall does then I would leave it as it is.

I would, however, read up on the 'exact' capabilities of the router just for piece of mind more than anything.

UAC off, Windows Firewall, Avira Premium Secuirty Suite (No firewall, Mail guard or Rescue installed with Avira)

Im using avast professional Edition with windows firewall and UAC disabled... Its been working great for me for years.(Pls dont use Norton Gamer Edition 2009, it spoiled my system completely once!!)

 

[Crypto]

Norton Internet Security 2010 beta and Microsoft Security Essentials in two different Machines,

Guys can some one answer me,
I have a Router, and on the PC that im running MSE has no firewall(except Windows default)
So Whats better, should i go to a Security suite with Internet Security or am I safe with MSE + my router + Windows Firewall ?

 

[TGSoldier]

UAC off, Windows Firewall, Malwarebyte, SuperAntiSpyware

*points to sig*

So Whats better, should i go to a Security suite with Internet Security or am I safe with MSE + my router + Windows Firewall ?

IMO, you're good with MSE + your router + Firewall.

Eset Nod32 AV, Windows 7 Firewall, Windows UAC, and a nice secure password guarded router =)
