Online Armor or Prosecurity

I'm interested about HIPS program and I'm considering 2 programs - OA and PS. Which one is better for me? Which one is lighter on resources? Here is my current security set up

- KAS 6
- ZA Pro 7
- PrevX 2 **Looking for replacement PrevX

 

OA AV+ will almost supplant KAV + ZAP

 

Online Armor seems to have very active development and is getting better all the time, but I think Prosecurity, like System Safety Monitor... are more sophisticated and powerful programs from a HIPs perspective. If you want to see what I mean, download a program like "PC Security Test" or many other programs such as those used at Firewall Leak Tester or Matousec. Then try testing against Prosecurity. With Prosecurity, I guarantee that you can stop just about anything with the proper tweaking. Online Armor is more friendly, but less flexible. Prosecurity is definitely for the more advanced user.

 

I am trialing them both on my other computers. If you lke configurability, then PS is first-rate. However, I would say both, based on recent leaktests, will protect your machine with Fort Knox-like security - as long as you know what you are doing.

Both are comparibly light on resources.

Which is better for you? Try them both for a few days and determine that for yourself. Only you can ultimately answer your question.

 

Fallowing Peter road , I just started to test Online Armor FW + Pro Security combination. It is running smooth here as well. I removed KIS from the lineup and only running OA with Firewall + Pro Security. Online Armor is beta 205 built and ProSec is 1.30 final, haven't tried ProSec 1.40 beta2 yet.

No Anit-Virus is where FD-ISR, RollbackRX, or Acronis come in.

Thanks everyone, I would try both of them and give my feedbacks here which I choose. Sorry for posted my thread in wrong category.

 

I curious about this set up. Is it good to use these combination without antivirus software? I know OA and PS combination may be good but both of them are not anti virus software, or I misunderstood something?

 

Hi Pete,
Isn't it time consuming to go through that process all the time?
Best,
Jerry

 

Online Armor is available in "AV+" flavour which includes the Kaspersky Engine

 

Pete uses Sandboxie and I use Geswall, they do mostly the same thing, so no viruses are coming down the internet browsing pipes for me.

Well I myself know about the AV+ of Online Armor and in some more testing, I am renewing my license

Plus I am awaiting those extra settings for extended database in the advance tab. I am testing without an antivirus, but won't be without one for long.

Hello!

I would definately would go with Online-Armor. Like its name it gives you a solid and excellent ARMOR while you are surfing in the net....even if you go to the dark side . It is easy to set up and easy to use. Developement is also very fast.

I am using OA with firewall with Defensewall (ilt is like Sandboxie and Geswall) and NOD, but when my nod licence expires i will change to OA +AV.
