    Nope I didn't experience any conflicts :)

    @nomarjr3: I am really liking Twister. But I only use it as a 2nd opinion, sort of like a HIPS + Antivirus :D

    Guys from Keyscrambler were so nice to fix an issue, so now,

    Home shared desktop XP Pro: SP3 (with SRP restrictions for shared P2P directory)

    Router with buildin SPI FW/external harddisk for image (Paragon)/data (Syncback)

    GesWall Pro with network and Outlook Express folders confidential, Chrome tightly isolated

    Avira with check on write only, heurstics high, smart file extensions

    Arrovax shield (only IE hijacks/extensions, host, Startup folder warning)

    Using IE8 for on-line banking and shopping with keyscrambler free and browser defender free

    Using Chrome for daily browsing (with Chrome's internal sandboxed rendering engine and Chrome only allowed write access to D:\Downloads, all other file plus registry access is redirected by GW = virtualised like SBIE))


    Laptop (TF with my custom rules + DW out of the box) + gaming PC (Norton UAC, Avira) same unchanged setup

    After I infected myself with the "through they eyes of a keylogger" :D which Avira missed, I decided that I needed a second safety net after all :blink: , so at the moment trying out this combo

    Home shared desktop XP Pro: SP3 (with SRP restrictions for shared P2P directory)
    - Router with build-in SPI FW/external harddisk for image (Paragon)/data (Syncback)
    - GesWall Pro with network and Outlook Express folders confidential, Chrome tightly isolated
    - DriveSentry with check on C drive only for files and registry (pitty you can only add registry entries in HKU/HKLM Software hive)
    - Avira free with check at writes only
    - Using IE8 for on-line banking and shopping with keyscrambler free and browser defender free
    - Using Chrome for daily browsing (with Chrome's internal sandboxed rendering engine and Chrome only allowed write access to D:\Downloads, all other file plus registry access is redirected by GW = virtualised like SBIE))

    Like your new setup.
    Similar to mine except I'm using the whole Comodo suite though I do have a license for Avira personal.
    Set up for me has been problem free. :)

    It's quite debatable at this time. Still trying to find out if it was malware or a FP. :(

    Removed Avira, because GeSWall basically locks down malware, tuned up DS to reduce I/O (now only checks C:\ without all file extensions, this caused it to check D also). To prevent spreading malware downloaded free MBAM and A2, use these to check files which I send to others (with right click menu option).

    This basically reduces security aps to two on all configs (when you count Norton UAC also in).

    I just had a look at EAZ FIX website.
    Seems like it works the same way like Rollback RX.

    It does.
    Use it on both my son's and my laptops for about a year and a half now.
    One of the only differences is that EZ-FIX is a little cheaper then Rollback RX. :)
