What security setup do you have?

[Klaw117]

Windows Firewall, MSE, Default UAC. It's caught everything that I've thrown at it.

 

[Konceptz804]

i let windows firewall do its thing and follow that up with the firewall in my router. Antivirus is NOD32 64bit

Im currently using Norton Internet Security 2010 Beta, but apparently Symantec have started releasing compatibility patches to the 2009 products and they have been updated Norton 360 3.0 users to 3.5 which is compatible with Win7.
Rollout started yesterday and they said they will slowly roll it out to see if people report any bugs etc...

Eset Smart Security 4, UAC and Windows Defender disabled. I recently tried a beta version of ZoneAlarm, which I used to like prior to Windows 7, but now I somehow hate it! So, I'm gonna stick to Eset.

And, of course, I'm behind a hardware firewall.

Avira free + malwarebytes + uac does just fine....

 

[bojazz86]

AVG Internet Security 8.5, with UAC work fine for me

 

[harpua]

UAC disabled; Windows Firewall disabled
Linksys WRT54GL Router w. Tomato firmware & firewall enabled;
Eset AV 4.0.37.0 (real time & on demand scanning);
Comodo IS (for software firewall only, like the outgoing control over apps that phone home);
Malware Bytes (real time & on demand, IP protection disabled, good removal tool);
SAS (backup tool for on demand scanning/removal);
Windows Defender (for whatever additional real time protection it may provide (which is not much, imo).
Keyscrambler encrypts everything (such as UN & PWs) I type (just in case)

Only infections I've had in past several years have been FP's.

I have the same router and firmware. Have you ever experienced that it won't let go of dns config? I had it set to use opendns, and then turned it off - but it still uses opendns, and not the dns provided by my cablemodem via dhcp. Probably some setting im not aware of.

I found that windows defender is included in ultimate, didnt know it until i viewed the control panel as small icons lol =)

Btw, the ones using avira free - do you have issues updating lately?

 

[burtie]

Comodo firewall and Avira Premium antivirus here

 

[Joshatdot]

NOD64
W7 Firewall
W7 UAC
OpenWRT Router

 

[wallyinnc]

Norton 2010 free trial and intend to change to Kaspersky when that expires (which I am running on another computer and pretty happy). Any opinions on Kaspersky? Nobody listed it. After that free trial expires I have a free copy of Panda. Yes, I am cheap... But I have been out of trouble so far.
Also, I see several people listing MSE. Are you all one of the chosen 75,000 or is there still ways to get it from MS? I don't want to get it somewhere else, who knows what is in there.

 

[gamepro127]

UAC disabled
ESET NOD32 AntiVirus V4 (Probably the MOST used antivirus on theses forums)
Windows Firewall
Thats all you really need, but I do a monthly scan with Malwarebytes and SUPERantispyware
EDIT: Also use Web of Trust Firefox addon. Noscript is annoying as HELL and worthless IMO. Common seance is also ftw
EDIT AGAIN: Sorry to mention, I use COMODO SecureDNS. Love it. Blocks your connection from connecting to bad host ex: host with malware

 

[Taliseian]

ESET NOD32 64bit
Windows Firewall
UAC Enabled
Behind a Router
...and of course, good old common sense...

I use Kaspersky Internet Security since KIS 7. I have now KIS 9 (2010) and before I was using Norton NIS. Never had a problem with this two.
Kaspersky is the best right now and NIS 2010 coming right after since they made it better on resources consumption. Go for Kaspersky(KIS), it has everything you need in security.
