You're welcome.Yep,you should try kj.About Firefox,I know how it is when you're get used to a browser,it's hard to let go and go for another one.But damn...Chrome and Dragon are so fast...

Trying out the light version, no on-demand etc.

Running W7 Professional 64, EMET (maximum security settings), Restricted User, SRP, UAC max setting, Gpedit.msc -> this post , Secunia PSI, Windows Firewall, Avira Free for on demand scanning, Spywareblaster. And of course, I try to install only the software I really need. Also have disabled a bunch of services. For backup purpose I use Clonezilla.

System is incredibly fast (on i3, 4 gb ram, 500 gb 5400 rpm disk) and responsive.

[jmonge]

trying out Jetico Personal Firewall v2.0

[Dark Shadow]

@ j,Yea man out with the old in with the new and speaking of out so is WSA what a disaster.

[kjdemuth]

Didn't like WSA dave?

[Brocke]

anyone here run roboscan IS free? what do you think?

[Dark Shadow]

@Kjdemuth, WSA flaged DeepFreeze and quarantine it,so I restored it to find out the file was missing to open the gui to thaw from a frozen state. DF frozen does not allow restore or last know good config in safe mode and even a recovery management kicked me back to windows frozen and I had to reformat all over.A false positive that nuked my system so I will never again run a resident scanner, I rather take my chances with nothing.DeepFreeze runs great when nothing damages it and if it does, man is it one tough program outside of format to defeat.

On a good note all the install and removing left overs are gone with registry nice and tidy and a lot faster system.

What about Macrium Reflect backup image? Wouldn't restore save the day?

You're right about RT scanners. Sometimes, they can do more harm than good.

[Kernelwars]

You were using Shadow Defender a couple of days ago just saw now that you are back to DeepFreeze again.Why did you remove SD?

To be honest I did not try that but thought to start with clean format and start fresh with everyhting.

Yes I am going back in fourth on my system between the two programs SD - DF.I do still have SD on my kids puter and its working great.I do like the convenience better of SD but still like DF and its being developed and very very stable.O unless a AV program decides to snack on its important files.

[Dark Shadow]

Added Anti-Excutable.

[jmonge]

Anti-Excutable.

[Dark Shadow]

AE and DF are compatiable and there playing nice together.What can be possiable to ever get through these two programs together.

If you run a linux system on boot and format everything

[Dark Shadow]

Yes that wiill do it linux. I had a little taste of linux distros couple yrs back Dual boot Vista - Linux and Some I ran off CDs.
Its not for me anymore but I rather run OSX and going to in a couple of weeks.I went looking in a pawn shop today to see what they had and found a used Macbook 2010 With Snow leopard,I could not believe the condition,it is pristine condition and everything seems to work well.It's one of the last carbonite white macs before going over to the Aluminum body.I put it on layaway for a couple of weeks.

[kjdemuth]

Trying out PCAV Pro again. Seems to being working nicely. No slow downs. No weird error's. I don't care so much about the scanning speed. I don't scan with it anyways. HMP is set to scan daily. I should have got a WSA license when it was really cheap. It would have been a great addition instead of PCAV. I'm happy at the moment with my setup. I might flip flop between this and NVT ERP again. My mainstay though is comodo firewall and sandboxie. Anything else is optional.
Rollback RX got the boot. I don't like the fact that you can't partition you HD. Tried to do that yesterday and it F'd up my system partition. Since I had just wiped my HD it wasn't a big deal just to do it again.

[hogndog]

Went back to Sandboxie and Windows Defender.. thought part of the problems i was having may have been due to Sandboxie... come to find out my tower needed cleaning out it was overheating..

[Duradel]

Trying out Emisoft Anti-malware combined with Outpost Pro firewall.

Great combination so far although they were having a mini vendetta with each other at the start until exceptions were made :p
