What security setup do you have?

[grimreaper]

Norton Premier Edition 360 version 3.0 (anti-virus,anti-spyware,firewall is awesome), botnet protections.
UAC on
Windows firewall off
Windows Defender off

 

[JMH]

AVG Anti - Virus 9.0 [Paid version.]
SuperAntiSpyware Pro [Paid version]
SpywareBlaster
UAC on
Windows Firewall on
Router Firewall.
Malwarebytes if necessary for a second opinion.
A mind / hand agreement not to click "willy nilly."

I Use Symantec Endpoint Protection; used to use kaspersky AV but since i run W7 Ultimate X64, KAV slows down my internetspeed dramatically so i started to use SEP and i have no probs at all. My Laptop didn't slow down as with Norton it allways did and i am fully protected.

 

[D3ftOn3Z]

Avg 9,spybot search & destroy,malwarebytes anti malware and trojan remover.
For threats like autorun.inf viruses,i use panda usb vaccine & autorun eater.
UAC,windows defender & windows firewall disabled.

For Windows 7 32bit I use ZoneAlarm Extreme v9 and for Windows 7 64bit
I use Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 2010. These two products seem to
catch everything I get

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

Well, that's something I used to have as my defense system but on Windows XP. Now I'm using BitDefender Internet Security 2010, & I choose is mainly for it's great AntiVirus ability. Though, yesterday I got a surprised results from the Firewall shootout. Shocked at what I've been rely on for last 2 months. BitDefender got one of the real bad showdown in the list there. And not surprised to see Comodo making it to the Top level along with PC Tools Firewall Plus being second best. CHECK OUT for your self.

I changed from Panda Internet Security 2010 to Avast free beta 3. Panda was a huge system hog and there where about 8 processes for Panda in task manager. My security setup now; - Avast Beta 3 Free
- Threatfire
- Windows Firewall

 

[Tews]

Currently I am using NIS20010, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware with UAC on default...

 

[jav]

real time:
NIS 2010
WinPatrol

Limited User Account
SRP (Software Restriction Policy) set to default deny and whitelisting.

On-demand detection:
Malwarebytes
HitmanPro

P.S. Hopefully I will soon change SRP into AppLocker, when I can find solution to the Issue 10576 (google Chrome under AppLocker)

 

[ryan7]

• Avria AntiVir (free)
• PC Tools Firewall
• Windows Defender (comes w/7) (Real time)
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (just for scanning periodically)
• a-squared Free 4.5 (just for scanning periodically)
• HiJack this (NOT Trend Micro's, but the original)
• Winpatrol
• UAC Off
• Acronis True Image 11 WD (Not security persay, but piece of mind security to know I have an image of my system should something go wrong)
• WOT for IE. Whenever I switch over to the x64 IE, I may start using SiteAdvisor unless WOT then becomes compatible.

Although I've been with AntiVir since Windows ME days, I am seriously thinking of jumping ship to MSE. Tried the x64 version last night and must say it is great.

 

[pezzonovante]

MSE, Windows Firewall and UAC slider moved higher to "Always Notify". I use IE8 in protected mode with WOT add-on. Plus occasional scan with Malwarebytes'. Haven't had a malware on Vista/7 in the last 3 years.

 

[brady]

local machine / user policies

no AV needed

Nice setup ryan; I am using good old Avast and also FF with NoScript and AdBlock Plus add-ons too

= ugly restrictions for ur self

not bad at all to be honest. I've been in the information security field for a while now so maybe I'm used to limited accounts... using an alternate account for elevation privileges.

 

[Dinesh]

Here's my security setup;

 

[Mitch656]

I used to use AVG 9.0 FREE, but recently converted to MSE

i leave UAC and Windows firewall the way it came

 

[chrysalis]

of top of my head

IE
spywareblaster activex block list (but not restricted zones)
only allow flash on approved sites
only allow java on apprived sites
disabled a few things in the security zone
block all persistent cookies by default, allowing for specific sites by double clicking icon in system bar
use admuncher to block ads which will also as a side affect block various malicous actions

FF
block cookies by default, allow per site same as IE
adblock+ like admuncher on IE will block various malicous actions as a side affect

opera
block cookies same as other 2 browsers
urlfilter block list to block trackers and ads

system wide
nod32 with email scanning, and default file extension scanning, I added png gif jpg jpeg and bmp to files that are scanned. Would usually also scan http but nod32 web scanner module is buggy, they have a released a new beta version with fixes which I plan to test. email scanning is set to agressive, web is also when I have it turned on, the file scanning is not agressive and I disabled file open scans.
NAT router to block inbound traffic and scans
common sense to avoid running silly things
occasional scans with malwarebytes

What I plan to do.

I plan to change to using a limited user account
Plan to enable Software Restriction Policy
As a result of these I may turn of nod32 file scanning and only use http/email, but if http remains buggy will keep file scanning on.
Plan to install a hosts file.
Considering using a restricted zone list from spybot and spywareblaster but only if no performance impact.

There is no point for extra browser addons or antimalware tools. More apps to update - just choose one app and the built in Firewall + UAC. As for the browser use Opera.
