What security setup do you have?

[malexous]

Sandboxie
NIS2011 BETA
Hitman Pro

I will be adding Emsisoft Anti-Malware to the mix.

Edit: Added Emsisoft MalAware. I have been using NPE (Norton Power Eraser) for a while, just haven't mentioned it.

Edit 2: Will only use MalAware very occasionally. Emsisoft Anti-Malware is included in the cloud scanning of Hitman Pro.

• Avira AntiVir (free)
• ZoneAlarm 9.2 (free)
• WOT (IE8 & Chrome)
• Malwarebytes
• Windows Defender
• RemoveIT Pro (free)
• UAC off

I use to use PC Tools firewall until a couple of people I know tried to uninstall it. After it unintalled Windows 7 x64 then said their copy was not genuine anymore. Apparently this is an issue with it: LINK

Now I am using Panda Cloud Antivirus Free. Very light and very high detection rates. I will definitely buy the Pro version.

I heard that Panda is a pretty good anti-virus package, they just don't advertise much so are not so visible or make the top performer on the usual analysis (not that they would be at all biased by the companies that spend millions advertising with them...).

Any opinions / experiences? I have a Panda Internet Protection 2009 that I never installed, maybe I should try it.

Microsoft Security Essentials is enough for me, I have an admin account and nothing much really. My own little thing, so I only really have MSE it's simple, and pretty much cleans anything dangerous. Though scan can take a little while.. >.<

But I'm fine!

 

[currysteph]

Ditto.....MSE and Windows firewall - UAC off
Have Spybot and Malwarebytes as standalone scanners when I chose to run them

 

[malexous]

LUA • Applocker • Sandboxie

I haven't removed NIS2011 Beta yet while my parents and I get used to this set-up. Our subscription for NIS2010 expires Mar 23, 2011.

Edit: Reverted to an earlier image. Running with no anti-virus/malware real-time!

Security

MSE,MBAM,ESET Online Scanner,BitDefender Online Scanner.(It seems to me that the online scanners use MSE to actually scan._I deduce this from watching Resource Monitor).UAC always on.

 

[codyw]

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 with:

• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
• Hitman Pro 3.5.5

installed.

Kari, How can you have Defender running when it gets disabled by MSE? MSE has the Defender component in it. Any way my security is in my signature.

I scan with Hitman Pro and Malwarebytes on certain downloads. (Not always both.)

I have just added Immunet free to my security arsenal. Has anyone else tried this? Unlike Panda, Immunet plays nice with other antivirus tools. It seems like a good lightweight layer of added protection. Thanks,
John

[Lomai]

Firefox with no-script/Ad-block Plus/WOT
