RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config

@mclovin: he is not the user of this config so he dont want CIS.

yes Vipre mobile is free (for the moment ) because it is a beta.

@biozfear: Shadow defender and sandboxie can work together

RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config

@everyone:
thanks alot for the replies and assistance.

will give SD a try but for now, testing Bitdefender. gotta say i dont like it... something about it tells me that i will have to remove it...
tested avira and wasnt impressed at all.
reinstalled VIPRE but tempted to use the VIPRE + Comodo firewall combo. Unsure if i should use CIS's defense +.

also tempted to download 2012 since the version i got is not the latest one.

Perhaps VIPRE antivirus + Comodo firewall and defense+ set properly which wouldnt require much user interaction should be ok....



looking at prices on VIPRE and it aint that bad.... Kaspersky does seem more expensive

so to finalize i either go full VIPRE internet security or VIPRE AV + CIS firewall/defense + or just standalone KIS for this config (of course ill set it up all and just forget about it unless it requires my attention)

hard choice.
are the licenses for KIS and VIPRE yearly and able to use on multiple pcs?

They have offers on how many PCs and years you want to use the software, I'd say that you stick to VIPRE IS or Kaspersky IS rather than using two different software.

RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config

unfortunately while testing and running latest VIPRE av, pc crashed twice (after a reinstall) while doing a full system scan, and after reboot, it sure was slowed down a bit...

so i removed and replaced with the updated config...

lets see for a couple of days now.

Well, I do hope that Kaspersky Internet Security won't disappoint you this time.

well no crashes and it is quite configurable... yet.. my impression or its a bit "heavy"?

KIS is known to be a "bit" heavy.

Way too much security especially since you have an imaging program. No need for Sandboxie. You spent money on KIS so that is all you need in real time. If by chance you are infected then just mount up an image and your set. Thats the beauty of a system image.

a little heavy, but as long as the high detection rate, it does not matter, umbra.

BUT, I think, I prefer CIS than KIS.
hehe.
by the way, I am not a CIS fanboys.
but, regarding CIS is good or not, I know it's based on the my tests, and many reviewers have good responses to CIS.

CIS is only as good as the user. Do not be fooled just cause it gives you tons of pop ups.

 

[win7holic]

RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config (updated 7/11/11)

yes, I know it.
let's see, what will be added ,or improved in CIS v6

I am impatient and curious.

RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config (updated 7/11/11)

CIS is CIS is CIS. It will never change but this is getting off topic so lets not trash the topic at hand which is biozfear's secondary laptop config. Thanks.

RE: biozfear's secondary laptop config (updated 7/11/11)

yep indeed noticed KIS a bit heavy. finished up the custom settings and now gonna give a couple days of try since i dont use the laptop. lets see whats going to happen. if all goes good then ill invest on it, if not, ill have to find another combo.

will keep you updated

@maximus: one thing in case you havent seen before. im not the user of this config. this config is on a laptop used in the household and the knowledge aint as advanced as me, so some security is crucial despite having the imaging software (do note that im the one running all applications when it comes to system rescue/system cleaning etc).

Doesn't matter if its not your main pc or not. I would never set any customer up with such a paranoia system. Having the users of this laptop under an LUA and you being the Admin is more effective and easier.

that is not false. but we dont know what the second user want to do with his laptop.

But 90% of daily pc use does not involve Admin rights. We have ever user,which is 500+ employees under an LUA.The company does just fine.

after reading this

A bit to know about this laptop. This is a secondary laptop used at home but not by me. main purposes is to surf the web, facebook, live messenger and perhaps a couple of downloads here and there.

Manual scans, backups and configurations are done by me. Apart from that I dont really touch the laptop.

then i agree with this

But 90% of daily pc use does not involve Admin rights.

so i agree more with this

I would never set any customer up with such a paranoia system. Having the users of this laptop under an LUA and you being the Admin is more effective and easier.

im sorry to disagree but thats ur own opinion and everyone has a different way of setting things up, be a system admin, a intermediate knowledge user or even a beginner... the fact that the laptop is in the house and it is used for specific purposes, as long as i set the config correctly there shouldnt be any need for the user for interaction and i am the one who runs specific applications for cleanup, scans etc, so in my eyes, for the second laptop there is no need for Lua.

But 90% of daily pc use does not involve Admin rights. We have ever user,which is 500+ employees under an LUA.The company does just fine.

again i dont justify LUA need for the second config. now the purposes of the laptop was already quoted by umbra.


as i said, in case i need to run backups, do some scans etc etc, i will be able to do without a prob.
KIS is still on trial btw as im testing on system impact. laptop is no where near as powerful as the one on my main config so thats why im trying to find a user friendly config/suite.

each one of us has different ways of setting up the system for daily use. tho i respect your opinion on Lua, doesnt mean that everyone should be using lua just because 90% of daily tasks envolve non-admin rights.

That would apply to any av/suite...
