Matt90's Config - Rate my security config

[trainbus120]

you mean on-demand scanners ?

Yes, to be honest, all of them just perform similarly. Using too many of them at the same time is just not advisable. Use just one which you feel is the best among them. Be vigilant and exercise caution on the net thats the mantra for safety today!!1

 

[Matt90]

I dont wanna use them all at the same time, just one by one to get some extra second, third, fourth opinion and agreed with the last line.

Too many opinions would only confuse you. rest its your choice.

Don't mind the people that's bashing Bitdefender,words of wisdom form n.nvt your mouse clicks count

Use hutmanpro and Mbam, eek is unnecessary. Bitdefender isn't halfassed like most people on this forum imply, I used it for quite some time last year and it was actually good. Try qihoo 360 internet security if you're unsatisfied using bitdefender though.

Edit: after reading your configuration thoroughly I would definitely make a switch to qihoo, along with zemana you should be protected against most threats and it's gonna be lighter too. (qihoo uses the bitdefender engine along with a bunch of other engines).

Your config is fine, if you're happy with Bitdefender then stick with it. You say you use the web safely so you shouldn't have any problems with this setup, and you do not need any more on demand scanners. And everyone has an opinion about Bitdefender, saying it's buggy or heavy on the system but as far as protection if you stay using safe practices then it is plenty good enough to protect you, thanks for sharing!

Nothing is best out there. Just use ur default AV for a full computer scan 1-2 times a week, depends on u. And u can use MBAM scan & hitman pro scan 1-2 times a week, depends on u. Since Ur AV can miss malware that's why i suggest to do scan with 2 others on demand scanners . And if u r paranoid then u can ad other on-demand scanners to scan ur pc. If u have safe browsing habits & u don't downloads any files from unknown sites or torrents & don't use any keygen/cracks/patch & don't download crapware products then ur default AV scan 1 time weekly is nuff for u. But u need to put some on-demand scanners in arsenal, in case u doubt something suspicious is in ur pc or u recoverd ur infected PC with AV bootable rescue disk & u r not sure 100% , so u can use on-demand scanners there.Also it's good if u make some Antivirus bootable rescue cd coz sometimes ur AV or other on-demand scanners can't catch malware plus useful in heavy infected machine,in that case u need to use AV bootable rescue disk.

Hi
I was wondering about adding two on-demand scanners to my config, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is on my eye, maybe Dr.Web or Comodo CE ? Can you tell me, what is the best way to improve my config ?
Thanks

Kaspersky Virus removal tool is utter failure. Tried it & it showed me, it will take more then 9 hours to complete my scan where ESET & other AV don't take no more then 20-40 minutes in my PC. Kaspersky have problem of slow scanning speed specially there free removal tool suffer a lot from this. In my test of malware samples in MT, Dr.web outperform CCE but sometimes CCE outperform Dr.web . Also i noticed that when i scanned my PC with my AV or other on-demand scanners, they showed me malware detected from CCE quarantine which annoys me.

 

[Matt90]

Karoke so why you recommend avira pc cleaner instead of CCE ? Avira is that good ?

 

[Matt90]

and Karoke what can you say about add one more on-demand scanner to my config and what would be it in your opinion ?

 

[Koroke San]

I already said no one is good or better then anyone. Currently the best on-demand scanners in market which i see in my eyes, i told u already & yes try Avira Pc cleaner & u won't be disappointed. In my malware test here in MT, it outperform CCE & Dr.web cureIt. Also Mcafee Stinger is a good choice. After that i don't see any good on-demand scanners.

 

[Matt90]

I'll try avira, thanks

 

[Koroke San]

and Karoke what can you say about add one more on-demand scanner to my config and what would be it in your opinion ?

McAffe Stinger, see results below i tested with Mcafee Stinger :

Checking out BitDefender Internet Security 2014 performance
This thread will explain you how horrible is Bitdefender.

 

[NSG001]

Looks nice, maybe add Lastpass addon to Firefox.

 

[Exterminator]

The 3 on demmand scanners you have listed are great all are very good.I personally use all of those listed in your config.Since they are on demmand you can use all 3 of them as they are not providing any real time protection.I do like the above suggestion of a password manager such as LastPass.Your config looks good!!!! If an AV or Security suite works well for you on your machine and it provides you with good protection then you should stick with it.Thank you for sharing it with us

There are things i don't understand "You don't have to act like a smartass"

1. There are some programs that have similar names, and i didn't know what you meant.
2. I wasn't acting like a smartass.

I dislike your comment... you could be a little nicer.

 

[toffee]

If you are using Bitdefender for its Detection Rate or Bitdefender Protection than i would say there are many AV which are far better than Bitdefender.

Please, let me know which ones do ould you recommend.
I resigned from Bitdefender because it was to heavy to my system, RAM, processor ...
