    Go with WSA+MBAM. WSA can be set to act as an anti-executable. And MBAM would protect against all that are missed by WSA. Great combo imo.:thumb:

    Is there any review on Dr.Web Security Space 8?
    I have it installed and i'm really enjoying it, but i'd like to see some reviews/tests.

    Thank you for clarification. I don't mind if all shields are not working as they should, as long as they are not causing any problems.
    It would be even better if Tzuk ever decides to add compatibility settings for WSA. :)

    Thanks Bo. I'm not sure where the conflict is. I think I'll take all my security products off and try again. I would really love to run Sandboxie, WSA AV and comodo firewall. I think it would be a great set up. I might even ditch comodo and just use Win 7 firewall and WSA. I appreciate the help though. It's not too often that I need help with my own setup.

    I reported it to Tzur and I believe he is looking into it. I also posted it over at the Prevx sub-forum. I believe that PrevxHelp told me to disable the IS and see if it works. Like I had told BoElam I think I'm going to remove everything and see if that works. I can always put everything back together again.

    Smooth sailing with just WSA AV and sandboxie. Not really sure where the issue was. Now comes the fun part and putting back on everything else and seeing where the problem lies. o_O

    Back on CIS 6 Beta

    Although i find its UI completely non-practical and even unusable, the product is top notch and very very light. It feels lighter than ESET and WSA. Its that light.
    But how i hate the GUI........

    The attachment shows the memory usage with Widget. Without the widget the tray process falls to 1 or 2mb. I heard about heavy disk usage and i too was having this issue, but just found it was scheduled to run a full scan, and my disk is big. So i unticked it and stopped the scan and its back to normal.

    Added everything back on except Shadow Defender. Things are running smoothly with Sandboxie, Comodo Firewall and WSA AV (Max settings). Not really sure where the problem was. Must have been SD. Funny thing was it was never running in shadow mode. I only had it installed just in case I wanted to use it. I never did though.
    I'm so happy that I bought a year license to WSA AV.

    :) I don't like that either. I hope Win8 Defender is good enough!
