Re: Internet seccurity?
i tried the 2009 version once. asked me update but after 10min of slow update, cancelled the process. maybe some problem with Kaspersky.

absolutely correct. I got download speed an amazing 1.2 kbps.
The slowest GPRS gets faster speed.
Wonder how Kaspersky managed the slow down.
P.s- I used a 1 mbps BSNL broadband.

Re: Internet seccurity?
i didn't mention VIRUS PROOF.
but you can prevent attacks and infections with proper know-how and sound head coupled with a good security system. i think everyone will agree with that.

Re: Internet seccurity?
No-one in this whole world with internet connected to their PC
can ever truly claim that they have not been affected by a Malware or not
While some malware make their presence obvious(ex. the "new folder", the "recycler")
some remain undetected at all levels
ex. the "Chernobyl" which was detected after almost a year of "Hibernation"
No security is truly foolproof
neither any desktop computer in the world truly a "Virgin"
Traditional antivirus can only detect and remove previously known malware
but are greatly ineffective on 0day threats (you can't cure/prevent a disease you know nothing about)
p.s.
even Symantec products do ship with a whitelisted "Keylogger" called Magic Lantern
that sends the user's mail encryption keys to the FBI servers
to enable the FBI to read even an encrypted mail of a suspect
Did you know that?

Re: Internet seccurity?
Ok
instead of beating around the bush speculating which security soft package is the best
test it for yourself
at Shields UP!!
Try it out, it really helps
and post your respective results here
P.s.
i just tested mine, it found a leak in my Comodo Firewall as i hadn't set it up properly
so it failed in two tests
Then i made some changes in settings
now My Custom security suite has passed in all tests

Re: Internet seccurity?
I think the best option is to use Linux with an on-demand antivirus to scan your USB drives etc.
Although I used mainly Fedora 14 Laughlin so very very less chance of virus or malware getting into my system (I think you all know the reasons).
But on my Windows XP SP3 machine I use:
Avira AntiVir Personal with Comodo Firewall
But best way to remain secure is user awareness and knowledge, isn't it??

Re: Internet seccurity?
exactly what i said.
i tested my security.
Here are the results.
1. File Sharing
Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.
Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.
2. Common Ports and All Service Ports
Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.

-low alert settings
-enabled alerts for TCP, ICMP, UDP and loopback requests
Advanced
-protect ARP cache enabled

-protocol analysis enabled
also the defense+ module is optimised to work seamlessly with my firewall settings so seriuosly i am safe. And ShieldsUP has agreed to that.

Re: Internet seccurity?
i have made a few changes to your settings
also
i was previously running my firewall on "Alert me to incoming connections and make my ports stealth on case per case basis" (the second option)
as the firewall was preventing uTorrent from accepting incoming connections
leading to some network errors
but this setting failed in Shields up, because Port 135 was open(unstealthed)
as this port cant be blocked manually
now i have rolled back to "Make my ports stealth for everyone"
and shields up has given me the pass marks in all tests

Re: Internet seccurity?
uTorrent never gave me network errors with full stealth.
anyway does utorrent work for you now that you've enabled the third option?
also "This computer is an ICS server" is NOT enabled in my config.

Re: Internet seccurity?
earlier when i selected the third option uTorrent used to show that
"You have some problems with Nat" with an exclamation mark at the Bottom right
so i had to change it to the 2nd option and everything was fine(little faster DL speeds, browsing)
but this setting was also making my pc vulnerable
now after enabling the third option
when i check for forwarded port in uTorrent it says
"port is not forwarded but you are still able to download" with an * on the big tick mark
so i changed the uTorrent settings to accept and send encrypted packets
so far so good
