RE: my security setup

What addon's you have for your browser?

You could add Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as an on demand scanner (free version).

Vipre AV is a good av so you are fine there. Do you have Viper's HIPS turned on?

Your security risk is Medium. Could I ask what you usually do with your system? Depending on the answer, we could provide you more suggestions.

A backup solution could also be handy, such as Macrium Reflect, Paragon Backup and Recovery.

You could also use Bufferzone Pro or Sandboxie as a virtualization software.

Good and solid config, especially Defensewall on x86 system. With Vipre you should have Clearcloud DNS.

Ithink by using Rollback allow him to skip a backup solution.

no HIPS from vipre.they`re turned off.my firefox addons are: adblock plus, ghostery, bitdefender`s traffic light, lastpass and browserprotect. i don`t use sandboxie or bufferzone because i use defensewall and no imaging software because i use rollback rx.
EDIT: i also have WOT extension on firefox. forgot about it. sorry!:D

I reccomend you upgrade to windows 7 or purchase a Windows 8 in October. Reason is windows XP will be dropped out of updates in 1 1/2 years.

You could add Malwarebytes Antimalware or Emsisoft Antimalware (or Emsisoft Emergency Kit.) for on demand scanners.

Yes you might be on Windows XP but have you got a backup option that you can use for when and if your system goes down?

i use rollback rx for when my system crashes. i don`t have important data on D drive so i guess i don`t need a backup solution.

Have you considered using Lastpass and Ghostery for Firefox?

Hi tipoo, I advise you to upgrade Operating system and you can make backup although you have good rollback software in forum of rollback rx

Apart from what Stranger, said about updating your OS, I would remove Ghostery, as you have Ablock Plus, which I've heard and read (Biozfear and HeffeD talking about it) that would be no point in having both on (I think, don't quote me on it), and you could also add HTTPS Everywhere. :)

Hi Tipo I advice you to upgrade to windows 7 or windows 8 soon.
No need for MBAM as Vipre has the same definitions as MBAM.
