Biozfear's secondary config 2013 Edition

[Plexx]

RE: biozfear's secondary config (updated 18/12/11))

Swapped AVAST for G Data AntiVirus 2012(Trial run).

So far so good, since AVAST one again is causing problems with updates (Unsure exactly what is happening, so I will test the AVAST config on a Disk Image in VM and hopefully find the Source).

Also added Sandboxie and configured it accordingly for usage (even created the shortcut as suggested by Jack on another post - thanks Jack).

after some time of inactivity, decided to update the configs accordingly.

From IE9 you can set also the "tracking protection" alongside to simple adblock.

Update:
Replaced:
*Avast with Panda Antivirus Pro 2012 (Firewall and Safe browser not installed), with default settings
*Windows 7 backup utility with Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 since there is no need for multiple images and the images get stored in one of my backup externals

Added:
*Emsisoft Emergency Kit as an additional On-Demand scanner
*Norton DNS

Panda too simple?

Fancied a change. So far so good.

LinkScanner disabled, or not selected on custom install?

AVG Free won't last long, you will find something about it you won't like.

Disabled. I forgot to do a custom install.

I hardly use this computer so AVG might last long unless I start receiving complaints. If that is the case, I do have a backup plan...

Uninstalled and reinstalled AVG.
Did a custom install, enabled Link Scanner but did not install the toolbar.
Also add Ad-Aware Web Protection module.

Replaced a few apps (bits and pieces).

That should be it for now. Since I had AVG installed, no infection was detected (HMP/EEK/MBAM).

Might consider going to avast! once the upcoming build is fully released, but with a custom install and tweaked settings.

So how you will rate avg on scale of 5?
I am not seeing any application control on your setup, Am i right?

RE: Biozfear's secondary config (updated 25/08/12)

Removed AVG Antivirus Free 2012 and Ad Aware Web Protection.

Added NAV 2012 and tweaked a few settings.

NAV was being tested on my old system on real time (not VM) for some days now.

Still can't beat an Install and Forget solution since I hardly use this system.

You can refer to my text based review on the scale points

No infections during the AVG time in this system.

Replaced avast! with McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection (AV+Firewall+Browser Protection) and Emsisoft Mamutu.

SaaS license is the one that was being used on my main laptop.

Replaced avast! with McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection.

seems logical , you can manage all your systems via its web interface. i wondered what will be the other endpoints, now i have my answer

The purpose is to then manage everything via the network and not really me using the laptop for maintenance. Until I installed SaaS on this laptop, everything was done via Network apart from managing the AV.

Guessing you a lot more computers in the house? Would like to see how it goes for you, as it would be great for all the computers I have here.
