scanning.
antivir free
drivesentry(tell ds antivir is a safe prog.)
windows firewall
advanced system care free
glarys(for 2 apps missing on asc free)
ccleaner
and i use free online scans to pinpoint possible infections when paranoia sweeps over me.results no infections

Can you test drivesentry by clicking “Allow” for the fake urls? I would like to see whether drivesentry automatically quarantines a threat when its behavior becomes nasty.

Thanks,
Balaji.

Hey Matt..you said you only use this software on your work pc and my question is: What about protecting your network and ports? What about network attacks? This program doesn’t have a firewall or a network attack blocker. Is that not needed? Thanks

I tried installing DS on my Vista SP1 computer and I got this:

—————————
DriveSentry
—————————
DriveSentry requires the Filter Manager please install the latest Service Pack for this Operating System.
—————————
OK
—————————

Any ideas? It didn’t install it as far as I can tell. It next went to the install dialog box after that and said it was finished, but I can’t find a directory for it, nor is it listed in “Uninstall or change a program” in Control Panel.

Thanks for any help.

Any plans to undertake a sandbox prevention shootout between Sandboxie, GeSWall, SafeSpace, and BufferZone?

We already have your verdict on DefenseWall of course and I’m leaving out Greenborder since Google bought it out and now uses it as part of their Chrome browser.

To Dave:

You will probably still need to have a firewall installed in order to prevent hackers.

Matt come on now. Sandboxie confusing. Just install it and use it. I only use it on demand but the services are running. Right click on Firefox and select “Run Sandboxed”. When your done just empty the Sandbox via CCleaner custom cleaning. There is no special configuration needed for Sandboxie.

Wow, this looks great. Does it prevent hackers and network intrusion>? Maybe I should use google before asking
