Hello forum members,

What is your layered defense, I mean what do you use for:

  1. communication connection protection?
  2. on-access anti-malware protection (signature based)?
  3. non-resident anti malware protection?
  4. anti-execution protection?
  5. registry protection?
  6. ant-trojan protection?
  7. in-browser protection?
  8. manual back-up scanners?
  9. on-line scanners
  10. start up lists
    11 traffic monitors
  11. crap deleter

My list here:
1 ZoneAlarm
2 Avast,
3. Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware & SpyBlaster, Bazooka, Hoster
4 AVX Script Wall & System Safety, Monitor, Easy Integrity Checker, FileAlyzer, ScripTrap
5 RegAlyzer,
6 a-squared scanner,
7 Adblock, No-Script, Dr. Web plug-in link scanner
8. ClamWin
9. Bitdefender 8.2, ZoneAlarm Anti-trojan, SpyAudit, Jotti.
10. Enditall, Asviewer, StartDreck, StartupList, Hiloa & HijackThis
11. NTX, NeoMonitor & TDIMON.
12. System Security Suite, Toolbar Cop

This is my personal selection of security programs, and what is yours?

Just antivirus and Windows XP SP2 firewall.
Antivirus is avast of course,but in last few days i’m trying others again…
Kinda dissapointed with avast! in some areas lately :-\

I was doing the same half year ago, but after I’ve reinstalled all my system, I’m not “jumping” anymore. avast works best for me. :wink:

Yeah for me too apart from not adding samples that i submit and viewing lots of false positives here and there. I have seen better from Alwil guys :-\

Well folks,

One thing we can establish what every machine should have at least, and these should work as an interwoven shield:

  1. Spamfilter, 2 Anti-Virus product, 3. Spyware Removal Software, 4. Personal Firewall Software, 5. Online History Cleaner, 6. PC Utility Software.

I think Firefox/Opera,antivirus and firewall ae enough. And using GMail as mail service (zero virus and zero spam+antiphising).

Here’s my security setup: Router + Kerio Personal Firewall 4.2.0(the paid version) , Avast , a2 free , Bazooka(never finds anything though) , Spybot S&D , Spywareblaster , Ad-Aware professional , MS Antispy , HijackThis for cleaning crap(temp and history etc.) i use CCleaner for on-line scanning i use Housecall and that’s about it.

This is my current layered protection

  1. Avast Home Edition - antimalware, web content filtering
  2. Kerio Personal Firewall - firewall, proactive protection by its behavior blocking
  3. Spybot S&D - dedicated antispyware/adware
  4. Opera Browser - my true real-time antispyware/adware
  5. Safe computing practices

Personally, I hate to load up my computer with many scanners or other tools that rather tautological and sometimes it’s hard to maintain and waste of resources. I want something that plain and simple (but not all-in-one products).

As far as I can remember, I haven’t been infected by any malware for a very long time.

I don’t think that my PC must be full of such programs, so I have Avast! Home, Windows firewall, Ad-aware and Spybot. And I am using Firefox for browsing the net ;D

Already added this info to my profile today.

Hi .:Mac:.

What is so special about this Command AV product, that you put such an emphasis on it? Can you explain some more to us?
