This thread is so large, this will get lost quickly. Head on over to the backup/imaging forum for more details and so that everyone can enjoy and find it.

The being said, I have used it for maybe 2 years now, have made, I dunno, 100 images or so. Only one ever had an issue, and that was written to a network share, so who knows.

An image tool is an image tool I suppose, as long as it works. When I first tried macrium, I liked it a lot right away. Even better that for me it compresses pretty well and is very fast for how I use it. I like the bartPE plugin a lot as well. I have read others have had issues, but it has been nothing short of stellar for me.

Put Prevx back on.
Getting leaner.

I'm thinking of going the same route with Online Armor but with GesWall instead of sandboxie and drop MSE. Wonder how that combo would work.

And you'd replace PC Tools FW, right?
OA is a sweet program AFAIC. I really like the HIPS. And the FW itself, for me, is way better than the one I was using previously, which was ZAP. By "way better", I mean ease-of-use and getting along nicely with other security components. I also ran GeSWall Pro for quite awhile, and I really liked it. I found that I needed help configuring some things over time, but that was not a drawback as support (email, not forum) was always right there for me. The combo I am running now, so far, seems like the very best all around in terms of protection, performance, and lack of conflicts.

Added Shadowdefender on demand. Just in case I missed something with sandboxie. Scanners can only find so much. If it plays nice once out of the sandbox then it gets commited. If not, then its a quick reboot and bye bye malware.

That's reassuring about Macrium, Sul, thanks. I've just had a frustrating couple of days with a leading (and bloated) imaging program that kept unformatting my partitions when trying to install the image. Never got it working, so I am looking for a simple imaging program that's super-reliable. I'll start a thread in the backup area about Macrium, and quote what you've said here.

That's a powerful combination, Page42. These days I'm just trying different programs to see what fits well with Sandboxie.

Trying Macrium. Removed CCleaner. Burned a Linux Puppy disk.

And I'm always interested in seeing what you are up to, in terms of your search for a good supplement to SBIE.

BTW, was the "leading (and bloated) imaging program that kept unformatting my partitions when trying to install the image" by any chance Acronis? I hope not. I've had wonderful success with that program, and have recently purchased (though haven't yet installed) TI2011. I cringe when I hear bad reports.

Yes, I would uninstall PC Tools firewal and MSE, and install Online Armor. Also, forgot to mention, with firefox, currently using Drop My Rights, Keyscrambler, adblocker and WOT. So I think I'll give it a whirl and see where I end up

I hesitate naming the company, because my one experience doesn't say much about the over-all reliability. What's the expression? Individual data doesn't equal truth, or something like that but more non-mangled. Besides, the company gave me a partial refund (at first they said no way, 30 days, etc, but then relented when I said I was active on Wilders

)

Page42 · #**13686** January 27th, 2011, 06:03 PM

The power of Wilders.

I am going tell you folks, you can keep your scanners and like. I am confused why more are not grasping the ability like AppGuard. You are literally 100 percent protected from any new malware.

My one issue going in was adapting it to 3 other users of different tastes. It really wasnt hard but each knew that a scan with Hitman Pro was required after coming out of Off Protection back to High. Other then that, this is no doubt, the best software I have ever used. And I mean that. Sorry, to any other friends but it is frigging awesome.

And I am talking about the beta because to me it is like night and day over the current released product.

Kernelwars · #**13688** January 27th, 2011, 06:35 PM

This is indeed good for ppl who like anti-executable..

trjam · #**13689** January 27th, 2011, 07:05 PM

AG is not AE. AG allows to actually use your computer.

Nothin wrong with TI2011 from my experience. Installed and working beautifully here.

I tried the Beta quite a while ago and couldn't get it to work on my computer, if you are that impressed with it now, I'll try it again.

cgeek · #**13694** January 28th, 2011, 12:07 AM

Updated:
Windows 7 Home Premium "32bit" UAC + Standard User
DefenseWall Personal Firewall v3.09
Zone Alarm Firewall Free *maybe*

Paragon System Backup 2010 "GAOTD"
Avira Personal 10 + MBAM on-demand

Removed Emsi AM & contemplating if I want to add SafeOnline?
Also does anyone know if there are still issues with OA and Defensewall?

justenough · #**13695** January 28th, 2011, 01:49 AM
