Maybe probably in my VM, or when the final version is released.

I am also testing Dr.Web CureIt 7 Beta. As soon as it comes out of beta, I might use it on a permanent basis. I've never heard of Bytehero, is it good stuff?

I am using a Brother network printer, and it didn't like ConnectSafe at all. It does like OpenDNS though

You may want to try connectsafe again because as adult confirms you just use the printer with connectsafe this time. By the way, which network printer are you using?

Edit: LOL R. You already answered my question in the above post. Guess you're better off with OpenDNS.

I am using a Brother All-In-One Network Printer.

I was able to adjust the Brother settings to play nice with OpenDNS, but no matter how much I tried...It absolutely didn't like ConnectSafe.

I think the final version will be available as a part of HitmanPro antimalware.

Good to hear you're testing cureit. It's very powerful.

I use bytehero.......rarely. But it's good stuff.

Good, a FP that should be corrected in the next update. It will eventually be integrated into the HitmanPro scanner.

I think you should go with whatever works. Good luck my friend.

for now what is really working for me it is webroot and hitmanpro the rest gives me problems for example emsisoft antimalware slowed down my justin tv when surfing protection is enable,OA in the begining is good but after like 2 hours i notice some cpu spikes ,sandboxie slow down my browser(iexplorer)
anti-executable is good and i may use it with webroot

you could remove ae and make wsa work as an ae. That would make your setup lighter and faster.

The day my PC was delivered, I stayed up most of the night, eventually going to bed around 4 a.m.
And as soon as I woke up, I was back at it.
I still have lots to do, to make it right.
It's scary how much fun this can be.

Sounds like me a few months ago, fun times.

I don't like EAM's surf protection. I usually turn it off when I use EAM. They really should change the host file they use.

agree 100% with you here man as it slow down the browser oh well at least mine
added KeyScrambler FREE

Why the sarcasm? Did you have a bad experience with bytehero? Or is bytehero already well known to everyone here so you it is actually not a new finding?

After getting sick and tired of trying to decide what traditional AV to use, I've decided to do things a little different. I'm now running Sandboxie (paid version with Chrome forced to run sandboxed) and MBAM PRO for anything that may slip through. Both lifetime licenses I might add

No HitmanPro? Anyways, great going with only sbie and mbam pro. With IFW you got a solid setup.

I agree with your decision,Sandboxie alone can keep a system clean with out the need of resident scanners.In the rear chance something should escape sandboxie MBAM is a good addition.However sandboxie can be restricted so tight for excutables and access control making it hard for just a about anything to properly run inside to begin with.

I Have found that AppGuard and ShadowDefender to keep all the nasties off better then any Antivirus resident can do and no lose of performance.I keep Hitman pro for OD scans and System explorer to keep a close eye on processes and autoruns that I can right click and send them to VT or jotti for further analysis right from System explorer UI.

No lose of love for Antivirus but the only ones I would run is ESET or F- Prot or Ikarus even MSE.I am currently running ESET 6.0 beta on family PC Along with AppGuard and that system is doing very well with that combo.

There really is no need for a half dozen layers of security, its overboard and wasted space but thats just my opinion.

Never heard of it till now

[Arcanez]

just added windows firewall denying outgoing connections...it's getting paranoid here

but so far no antivirus for me. I still like the idea of a very light antivirus just scanning incoming files like you can tweak MSE to but it seems there are no real light AV's out there...
