BoXX's Defenses

[Ink]

Do you run the same security for all the computers in your home network?

 

[moonshine]

Only my PC is currently using Avast at the moment.

 

[Ink]

What do the other computers in your network use?

 

[moonshine]

Added Sandboxie, Works great but takes time to get used too.

 

[moonshine]

Okay, So I changed my real time protection to MSE since I want to fully take advantage of Sandboxie's virtualization and I took the lighter side of security this time, I have no problems with MSE's protection capabilities since I force the entry points of malware to run sandboxed.

 

[moonshine]

Added PC Tools Firewall Plus to my config,

 

[moonshine]

Removed WOT on all browsers since it is overkill because I have Norton Safe Web installed, WOT is also too aggressive which I don't like.

 

[Dejan]

I don't really find WOT very aggressive or an overkill and in my option, it's a much better site rating tool then SafeWeb, considering that I've seen some dangerous sites that SafeWeb doesn't block or rate red, while WOT I've yet to seen miss a risky site (but of course, it does happen, though they usually catch on very quickly).

 

[jamescv7]

In my opinion WOT is not overkill for me caused its only a siteadvisor (you can configure for warning or blocking) , before I use WOT and SafeWeb and no problem on it.

WOT can save you or Safeweb can save it if WOT missed it.

 

[moonshine]

Added Zemana AntiLogger, Works Flawlessly with NIS.

 

[moonshine]

Removed Zemana since I really don't need it, Might try it again after the Full 64-bit Compatible version is released.

 

[moonshine]

Changed Real Time Protection to Emsisoft Antimalware, Works light and Works great! I just find the Surf Protection False Positives too much though. Ugh.

 

[darkelixa]

Yeah surf loves to block everything Im testing F Secure, loving it

 

[moonshine]

I'm removing EAM since it really annoys me. Ugh,

 

[jamescv7]

Surely from the next version that was in public beta, they are working on reducing the FP rates.

I'm removing EAM since it really annoys me. Ugh,

what is annoying you? pop ups? i got very very very few.

 

[moonshine]

The Surf Protection false positives are what made me uninstall EAM. It simply blocks too much and most sites doesn't load properly even though they are added to the exceptions already. Emsisoft really needs to reduce their FP Rates, I'm back to using NIS.

 

[Deleted member 178]

ok i see, i just tick the allow rule if a trusted is blocked so i dont mind too much about it ^^

 

[darkelixa]

Looks like Emsisoft have removed there live chat on there website. I wonder why??

 

[Deleted member 178]

maybe because nobody use it
