SmokeyJoe's Security Config

[smokeyjoe]

Just changed up some of my security apps.. I used Comodo FW for a loooong time but got tired of the HIPS popups (I know I can turn them off). Tinywall has been great so far.. though I wish it would fire a popup when it blocks applications as adding new ones can be a pain sometimes.

I'm thinking of adding another realtime scanner like Hitman or Zemana.. so any suggestions on that is appreciated.

Also - I used to run with UAC off on my previous install so I'm not too familiar with how this works. Am I able to run as a standard user, with UAC on and have it so I do not have to enter my admin password every time but instead just click "Yes"?

Thanks

Good selection of realtime and manual security suites. Looks solid, Consider a different Password Manager, you can find a few that is offering a year during the holiday seasons. Check out the giveaway section of the forums.

Looks good to me, maybe as you say add Zemana Antimalware free as an on demand scanner.

Thanks for sharing with us here at MT.

Agree with Frogboy add Zemana Antimalware Free as an on demand scanner.

Thanks for the input.. I added Zemana Premium/Trial to see if I like it

He couldn't but on Win 7 pretty sure it only effects Explorer. And usually people don't use explorer anymore.

Yea, agree with this.. let me know if I'm missing something here lol

Good configuration out there.

You can have Kaspersky AV + Voodoshield or SecureAplus + Sandboxie.

Regardless already a good configuration.

I wouldn't add any more real time programs.Just use Zemana as on demand.
Nice config! Thanks for sharing it with us

Thanks for the input all! Can anyone answer the question in my first post re: UAC?

Am I able to run as a standard user, with UAC on, and have it so I do not have to enter my admin password every time I start up the same application (for instance, Killswitch will always fire the need for my admin pass)?

I was hoping I could just click "Yes" like I can on an Admin account.. but I guess this is the difference between the 2 account types lol

I ran across that in my searches but it didn't include an option that did not require credentials. But there is another page on that site that should help. Thanks!
