I'm actually a Windows 7 user; I strongly dislike Windows 8 😉

I was, but then I switched to no AV. I really don't need one :)
Antivirus :
  • None. I have no localized antivirus on my system.



Firewall :
  • I have both hardware and software. For software, I use on demand firewall monitoring software locally. Meaning it is only on / running when I believe it should be and when I am doing a review/check.



Antimalware :
  • I do have Malwarebytes installed with the professional edition. I also have all the programs you'd use for cleaning up all sorts of malware, rescue disks, etc.



Protection Utilities :
  • Custom encryption software with TrueCrypt for less 'private' items. Also have the multiple hardware firewalls as mentioned before, plus clean backups of my system load image for easy network or bootable disk reimaging/ghosting my whole drive. This process also has automated scripts to install, update, import all my data that is new since the last image.



Others :
  • The backup system I have allows me to have a spare single SSD (vs my RAID SSD's) that's already prepared with all the essentials to get me online in case of work or such. Also have the images and backups for a bit slower process of getting it back up and perfect without much input or time (1 hour tops).
    Beyond this for 'Others' I could say I have my internal networks segregated and on other networks, so my testing machines and work network is not on my 'public internal' (wife, media center, guest room, public access shares). Both of which are not on my internal house servers, VPN's, personal desktop, my laptops, my phones, etc.




I don't feel like diving into this in detail or what/how I do my security at the moment (tired, just got done with overtime, yay 3x pay).
Antivirus : Eset 7
Firewall : Comodo Free
Antimalware : MBAM Pro, MBAM Anti-Exploit, MBAM Anti-rootkit

yeah i guess you can say that lol. MBAM is just a secondary check for me, i actually found out about the MBAM anti-exploit from this forum as well and have no complaints about it yet so.

For anyone wondering is Malwarebytes is really an Antivirus, it's not. I even wrote a small "guide" on it :

Do you have any protection setup under your Linux disto (which distro by the way ?) ?

Yep I read your thread. I have only 1GB DDR2 RAM. If I use Avast, it will take maybe 300 to 350MB RAM. 500MB for the Windows system and I'm only left with 200MB RAM. What I'm gonna do first with them?!
I'm not using any firewall in my system. It's Arch Linux.
Maybe I'll take a look at the Arch wiki and take care of this.
