Would you guys check my security set-up?

Okay this is what I have going right now

Comodo Firewall
SUPERAntiSpyware
Ad-Aware
AntiVir PE Classic
AVG
Ccleaner

I am thinking of droping Ad-Aware and AVG

So this is what I would be left with

Comodo Firewall
SUPERAntiSpyware
AntiVir PE Classic
Ccleaner

Okay so am I missing anything? Should I keep anything?

BTW all are free editions

 

That's a lot of security applications.

IMO, there are basically five types of security software that is recommended to have: a real-time virus scanner, an on-demand virus scanner, a real-time malware scanner, an on-demand malware scanner, and a firewall.

I think you should just stick with AntiVir PE Classic as both the real-time and on-demand virus scanner. It also as anti-rootkit. SUPERAntiSpyware is an excellent on-demand malware scanner. CCleaner is also a good cleanup tool. Comodo Firewall is a good choice for a firewall as well. All you really need left is a real-time malware scanner (Windows Defender, SpywareBlaster, etc.) if you want to cover everything.

So basically, in my opinion, I think you should just drop AVG and Ad-Aware like you said and remember to surf responsibly.

 

are you giving invitations to hackers?

 

????????????

 

Huh? What's this guy talking about?

 

use kaspersky internet security....keys are out at $10 for a year on ebay....!!

 

uuuh, geez. was the joke that hard to get? check my security set up? hacker eyebrows perking up? yeah, i'll check this fool's security. no free tickets to my stand-up tonight.

 

Just make sure you know the ins and outs of Comodo. It's a great firewall but only if you know how to use it.
Read it's help files and use the Comodo forum if you have questions.
Be patient the first few days when using Comodo for the first time or after re-installing, the pop-ups will soon clear if you know how to make and use rules for Comodo.
Also, get to know the strong Defense+ HIPS part of it.
Cheers.

Edit/PS. If you do not use the Defense+ HIPS (yet), take a look at ThreatFire.
It's an anti-malware behavioural blocker with real-time protection.

 

Ya well its summer and I refuse to think befor going to college

 

Kaspersky Internet Security suite is a good way to go if you ever decide you want to spend money on security solutions.

 

I'd replace Ad-aware with A Squared or Malwarebytes and switch AVG for Avast. When installing Avast, do not install it's active protection, just the scanner for use as a secondary scanner. I'd also add spywareblaster. It's not like it uses any resources anyway.

 

You know having too many applications like multiple firewalls and stuff actually is negative. Just because you have more of them doesn't make it more secure. You're best always with a hardware firewall router and then a software firewall if you want that too.

 

u can try a sandbox like sandboxie
