What security setup do you have?

[Mercurial]

= 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.

so you're used to it :O!... meh I can't live with that hehe... but still good protection overall

Still the same setup since over the year now:

Realtime:
DefenseWall Personal Firewall v3

On-demand:
ShadowProtect Desktop (image backup)
SyncBack Free (data backup)
Dr-Web CureIt! (once per few months scan)

Thats it! Very fast and reliable setup

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.

exactly what I avoid, dont like all in one apps as they are bloated.

Microsoft Security Essentials as one choice is perfect and not bloated.

I, personally, use Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 along-side with PCTools ThreatFire.

I received my Kaspersky license via the Windows 7 Launch Party, and ThreatFire is a free "addon" for security software.

All my PCs (5 desktop PCs and one laptop) use
Symantec - AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, Endpoint Security, Backup, Storage Solutions Norton AntiVirus,
Home Computer Security - Kaspersky Lab United States Kaspersky Internet Security
and Delete cookies, history, cache and Index.dat files with Mil Shield 7.2 Mil Shield.

These products cover completely my requirements, and I think not only my requirements for computer security and privacy and if you want safety.

The latest version of Avast ( have had no problems with this )
Some other great programs I have used on clients comps when things get messy are:
Security task manager, Hijack this, autoruns, and unlocker ( for deleting pesky viruses)

Those three programs together are great for locating sophisticated viruses that your scanner may not pick up.

 

[isecasa]

Well, everybody knows these:

* Panda Antivirus

* Norton Internet Security 2009

* Lavasoft Firewall

* Mil Shield


I'm a geek!
