Sid_16 PC Security Configuration.

[sid_16]

that is where EAM is awesome , it can be used as a companion AV as well for MBAM, so both will never conflict to each other

Okay sir. then I'll install MBAM Pro without making any delay.

Sir, now I've EAM with online Armor and MBAM pro installed. I uninstalled Zemana and SAS.
The online Armor in its default state is in learning mode and I see every now and then a pop up windows saying, whether to trust/allow or untrust/disallow certain program 'cos it is unable to make any decision . Its confusion is on the software like 'firefox, google chrome,glaryutility, gilisoft file lock pro, iobit driver booster, stardock and many other programs . Will it continue showing the annoying massages for...ever or is there any end to it?
thanks and regards,
sid_16.

Oa has a powerful HIPS (the thing asking you for decision) , if it annoy you , you can check the options to reduce them. go to OA > program > options (check what fit your need)

Off late I'm playing with some dangerous live virus in Malware hub and I need some expert advice, whether my security configuration is okay to test sometime not always with live virus at Malware Hub?

Since you have Sandboxie and Shadow Defender on your system then you should not worry about, however just be careful to avoid any accidents so highly suggest to have a system image backup for safety reason.

 

[sid_16]

Every month after my system gets updated, I create a system image to an external HD.

no safety backup, formatting & reinstalling is the best for roxxor users

(just joking, except for me, i do that )

I've gave up my dare devil attitude of testing the live malware in malware hub. Because I don't have any virtual machine and all the testing was done in my real system. Now I became dead sure that either shadow defender or sandboxie will give 100% protection against those stubborn and dangerous malware/cryptolocker etc.

It took almost a week to clean those nasty stuff I invited in to my system (which bypassed the strong vault like protection from shadow defender and sandboxie).

A very big thanks to those who are uploading and testing those malware samples in the malware hub.
Thanks,

I think everything is very well covered.
If AppGuard/NVT EXE Radar Pro are configured correctly alongside ESET, then it's safe to call your system a fortress.

I've been using AppGuard since a year and half with its default setting and I added NVT ERP day before yesterday. I too have installed it with its default setting. Unlike you all I'm not that expert in tweaking these security software to bring out the best from it. Few times I changed the settings of few security related software seeing the tutorials from here by the great Umbra but it caused trouble and then decided to keep all the settings to its default. Now I'm happy.

It's generally true that the more software you add, the more you need to tweak them in order to achieve better compatibility (especially if an application has overlapping features with an other one). It's not all trouble, of course. Like you said, having multiple security software rewards you with a (true) sense of security and allows you to go on about your everyday and productive tasks with greater confidence!

I tend to agree here, the more security stuff you add to the system the more 'content' you feel like you're safe while you're online but believe me its about 6 and half years back my custom built PC was running Windows XP and I've only quick heal antivirus as a real time protection. I knew nothing about other security stuff as I know now but my system was clean then. I used Wndows XP for an year and half then switched to Windows 7 then I became member here and other computer related forum. The more I read about PC security the more I became curious to add more and more security stuffs to my system.
