    Actually, this setup only applies to my 'dummy' PC.
    It's a PC where I beta-test different types of anti-malware/virtualization software.
    I bought it as is, and I don't intend to upgrade any hardware component as to see if it the softwares will work even in a low-end PC.

    BTW my main PC uses a quad-core processor and 4GB RAM.

    Simple enough and probably good enough depending on which roads traveled on the net. LoL

    That SRP is quite a deal, i'm still floored this thing is been sitting there all this time.

    Current SetUp= SuRun + SRP + CyberHawk + Kerio 2.15 and ocasionally to satisfy the curiosity of internal interactions going on, good ole EQS w/Alcyon's Rules.

    SandboxIE & Returnil sit idle unless absolutely needed.

    I don't blame you.

    Personally, and i might be off base in this speculation, but right now security apps seem to be in sort of a lull.

    Theres some really headway thats been made to better Windows security against just about everything, but i feel like theres still missing features in both HIPS & especially BEHAVIORAL BLOCKERS, or the lack of more competition which always drives the ruling choices to raise the bar yet again & again.

    SRP, as in "single responsibility principle"?? If so, how do you employ it?

    It wasn't too long ago it was being sold for $10 or $20 dollars, now I don't even see AlphaShield on their site anymore.

    Problem with AlphaShield is that you can't forward ports or can you??

    There are a few options to chose from but I believe mine was pretty much just out of box set 'n' forget.
    Sinse I have DSL when i'm not using the pc I just press a button and AlphaShield disconnects me from the net.
    I know you can just unplug your box but this is much more convenient.
