RE: pablozi's config
.... Did you tweak any settings for ESS 5?
You should add WOT and Sandboxie to your current config :
Virtualization:
Sandboxie (Free/Paid) - link
Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
Additional browser protection:
WOT (Free) - link
To help you avoid malicious sites you can use Web of Trust (WOT) a website rating browser plugin. After you add it to your browser make sure you only visit websites rated "Green" by WOT
What other browser add-ons are you using?
Cool, I'll also install ESS 5 today on my testing PCpablozi said:Testing ESS 5 and like it so far

RE: pablozi's config
I wouldn't call it tweaks, but HIPS and FW are set to auto learn mode for 14 days, then I will set them to interactive mode.
From addons I use only AdBlock.
I don't really feel like I need to use any sandboxing app at the moment - common sense should be enough
And about WOT: in my opinion it is a crap, because sometimes it'r ratings are not accurate.

RE: pablozi's config
it is too long, 2 days it is enough. most of your main apps and processes will be launched during this interval. more you let it long more you let open a hole in your security.
i admit it is true (mostly because users dont have any clue about security.

RE: pablozi's config
And additionaly I do have lifetime licences for SBIE and OFP
Basically there's nothing wrong with ESS, but it cointains some features that I simply don't need (parental control, antispam) so I don't feel like paying for itJack said:

RE: pablozi's config
Spyshelter is not a firewall but a HIPS and anti-logger. It is not because some firewalls have HIPS (CIS, OA, etc...) that HIPS are firewalls. having an HIPS dont manage inbound/outbound connections.
you still need a firewall.

RE: pablozi's config
Below are my recommendations for additional components to be included in your config:
I noticed you have not mentioned any backup utility. If you do not have any you can use one of the free ones:
*Paragon Backup & Recovery 2011 Free;
*EaseUS Todo Backup Free 3.5;
*Macrium Reflect Free.
Note that Paragon cannot make a WINPE boot disk unlike EaseUS Todo; but it is still fine. I personally prefer Paragon.
*If not, default Windows 7 built in Back up utility.
Additional Real Time Protection:
*Panda URL Filter (google Panda Toolbar, Install Panda Toolbar and then Remove the Panda Toolbar).
Unlocking software for stuck applications (freeware):
*Unlocker 1.9.1 (32bit edition).
Registry Defrag (freeware):
*Quicksys RegDefrag.
HDD Defrag (freeware):
*Auslogics Disk Defrag;
*Puran Defrag;
*Smart Defrag.
Uninstaller:
*Since you are using 32 bit Architecture, Revo Uninstaller Free;
*If not, stick to Windows's default uninstaller.
Add the following links into Adblock Plus:
*Easy Privacy: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.o...rivacy.txt
*Malware: http://malwaredomains.lanik.us/malwaredomains_full.txt
Unlocking software for stuck applications (freeware):
System Utilities (freeware):
*Advanced SystemCare 5 Free;
*CCleaner.
Toolbox for USB or external hard drive (never know when you will need it):
*Kaspersky TDSSKiller;
*Comodo Cleaning Essentials (CCE);
*Hitman Pro;
*Malware Bytes Anti-Malware (free version);
*GMER;
*Norton PE;
*Sysinternals Suite;
*Emsisoft Emergency Kit;
*Advanced System Care 5 Free.
Boot Disks/USB for maintenance:
*Hiren's Boot;
*Ubuntu or Puppy Linux Live CD for file recovery in case Files are not fully backed up and Backup itself is not the most updated one (this sure saved my files more than once).
