    Couldn't help myself after reading your post. Added MBAM PRO myself now. PC feels so secured.

    I use the Security Policy only (198.153.192.40 and 198.153.194.40).
    This policy blocks all sites hosting malware, phishing sites, and scam sites.
    That's enough content filtering for me. :shifty:
    What about you? Which do you use?

    Nope. I do it manually in the connection settings. I just change the 4 with 6 and vice-verse. And viola! I get my desired web filter. Do you use WOT?

    I was making a joke when I mentioned hotkey... but obviously it wasn't such a good one.
    Yes I use WOT. Along with TrafficLight (Chrome extension version).
    Reputation services are by no means the end-all deciding factor on where to surf, but I sure appreciate having their input.

    Trafficlight conflicts too much with other security software. It's also bloated and gives annoying traffic signal in the top left corner of the browser.

    I use the Chrome extension version of TL, and I don't find it to be bloated nor does it conflict with anything. The cross-browser Windows version, however, was a different story for me... blue-screening almost immediately upon install.
