What was wrong with your other config?

Nothing, Just the other config was my old laptop which I threw away and wanted to post this one.
Old one had trend but didn't want to go through the whole hassle of grabbing the new trial so I went with something different by adding WSA and I still had my licenses for EIS.

Sorry Umbra, The new config layout is out and I'm to lazy to go through yours and change it lol.
Loving the new config options, More detailed, etc.

So I'm getting ready for CIS v6 as I might use it alongside EAM

CIS 6 should be enough on it's own imho.

Alright so, I'm getting a gaming rig, its a upgraded Dell XPS 600 that my Aunt decided to give me as she's getting a new one so i'm removing and cleaning this laptop out and going to be using it for School and Work only so I'm going to use the McAfee SAS that they gave me and pretty much only going to have the basic on this laptop. (IE, Windows Firewall, MBAM, etc) Its going to be VERY rare for this system getting effected so I'm not going to bloat it much with little OD Scanners.

So ill be posting my gaming rigs config soon.

Your aunt gave you a gaming rig? :biggrin:

What exactly is McAfee SAAS? Anyway, in your case, I'd go with MSE/Avast!, Windows Firewall, Chrome, MBAM. That's a pretty light config.

Yeah, Her and my Grandmother are gaming nerds (Don't ask) it was actually my grandmothers but she gave it to my aunt but never used it as shes getting a new rig so its specs are good and its free so I'm not complaining.

Honnestly, I have no idea what SAAS really is.... but I do know it offers protection as I used it a year before I became security savy(ish).
I'll be using that since I'm only using it for School/Work and there's really no need to use anything else as it will VERY rarely get a chance to be infected. All I know is that it has a cloud, heuristics (Artemis), signatures and whatever else I don't know. I'll post a screenshot when I have the chance.

Alright so Mcafee has somewhat finished installing and I guess they renamed the program to "Total Protection Service" Same UI, shield, features, etc.
I haven't used it in over a year so I'll find out if anything changed.

So i'll post a screenshot when its finished.

McAfee SaaS is cloud only?

RE: 3link9's Laptop Config (Updated 11/8/12)

McAfee SaaS is cloud only?

Nope, I just found out it has a cloud, Artemis (Heuristics), and it does infact use signatures.

However, it does not have a firewall like the regular McAfee lineup and I also don't think it had Spyware/Adware protection going by what it says in the action center as its only listing Windows Defender.

Edit:
I'm also going to do On-Demand scans with it, So I'll post results in the Virus Exchange.

Alright, I might aswell show you guys what the Alert looks like, Now this I find very annoying if I forget to turn it off when looking at the malware files before the OD scan. Because if its enabled and you even just look at files without even clicking and executing it, It will still detect it, Which is good but can get annoying for somethings. I do not like this type of alert at all, but it does put it in quarantine but I deleted the files before I remembered to screenshot it for ya. But heres the alert:
