Microsoft AntiSpyware

*I recently uninstalled Ad-Aware and Spybot as they consistantly weren't finding anything after running MS AntiSpyware. :happy:

Windows XP SP2 - Plus Latest Patches.

Microsoft Antispyware Beta,

Symantec Corporate Antivirus 8.

Zone Alarm Pro.

Security Registry Entries applied By Autopatcher.

Other Regiestry Entries applied via Tweaks and Manual.

I also run Spybot S&D, Avert Stinger, Hijack This, and other Manual Tools to check regulary.

@ Home - Also via the protection included in my router - Nat, Firewall, etc.

May be overkill for some people. But I work in networks I know are infected regulary, and also university networks, they can be breeding grounds. - No way I am going to take chances If I can avoid it.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT. A Password that isn't "GOD", "SEX" or "PASSWORD"

I have a real cheap adsl router with NAT but no packet filtering. So I bridge everything through a FreeBSD box and use pf as my firewall. pf is much more powerful than the firewalls that come with SOHO adsl routers anyway.

On the NAT'ed windows boxes I use an antivirus. Nothing on the linux installations. I don't bother filtering outbound from each workstation. If I really want to be anal I can always stop stuff from going out by setting rules on the FreeBSD box.

SP2 Firewall

No Anti-Virus' protection - I figure If I'm stupid enough to get a virus, then I shall live with it. Plus, I remember using norton long ago. I'd get a virus, and it wouldn't stfu, it would just keep popping up with cannot fix, blah blah. Tis' annoying...

Condom over a WiFi antenna... what else do I need?

No really I use a router + Software Firewalls on all computers (don't want no spyware sending out any info before I can remove them :p) Symantec Corporate Edition 9 (spanning my whole network Server + Client fallout) with Microsoft AntiSpyware. :happy:

Hardware Firewall: Linksys WRT54GS (wireless b+g with Speedbooster)

Software Firewall: WindowsXP SP2 Firewall

Anti-Virus Software: NOD32

Anti-Spyware Software: Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta (with realtime scan disabled)

I'm thinking of disabling Windows Firewall and just leave Wireless router on, but I'm not sure if it's safe to do so. :unsure:

~Windows Firewall only blocks in bound traffic unless told not to.

Seeing as your router does this already, your windows firewall hasn't actually got any traiffic to block. So it's just sitting there doing nothing.

If you do turn it off, Just remember that you have done so, incase you ever plug into the internet directly.

    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
