RE: New security setup.

I assume you have addons/extensions that were installed on Google Chrome and IE9 beside your set already.

RE: malwarekiller's New security setup

Which Auto-Sandbox are you using (Avast or Comodo)?

Latest NPE is version 2.5.

RE: malwarekiller's New security setup

Well i think they have a different function of autosandbox as Avast uses heuristics to detect and when bypassed then it will go Comodo Sandbox for restrictions. So its ok.

What's your reason for running lots of scanners, for a Malware Remover, do you test them on your system?

RE: Malwarekiller's new config

Acronis does run by default processes on the background even if you don't have set any scheduled task. This was one of the main reasons I moved from it. Also which version you are using?

If you think MBAM is heavy, try this combo: NOD32/ESS + MBAM in real time. ESET by default will chunk 80mb but then again I didn't experience any slow down. Bear in mind I have activated the trial of MBAM on the ESET combo I am testing in VM.

Umm..well i think i stay with what works for me...ESET will make it more heavy and more ever i have seen people using eset and land up getting highly infected..whereas with avast the user is infected with random 2 to 4 trojans and nothing else so i prefer avast is better than ESET...This is lightest config at max what u see now..MBAM wont come down anyways..:sleepy: No slowdowns so far for me with my config :D

RE: Malwarekiller's new config

ESET problem is not detection. Its the cleaning potentials.

Also although ram usage is 80mb, doesnt mean it is heavy for an average user. I do remember reading somewhere the reason why it takes around 80mb. I think its the signatures but not fully sure.

If you want to see heavy and slow down look at BD or KAV

Then why i see people running up to date ESET alone getting very highly infected and people running avast alone just getting infected with a couple of trojans :p anyway,i dont want to destroy my PC with ESET high RAM usage...i yet think avast does very well in prevention :blush: no offense to ESET though...I like both of them but yet have my personal like on avast and this config is yet the lightest one i get with mbam as i see


OBS. forgot to mention comodo killswitch and autoruns and my addons...so ADDED THEM :)
