    Did your a-squared 5 change your context menu to one resembling Windows Classic when you right click on an exe for example?

    I ask because mine did. Twice. Once and then I thought it might be unrelated and the second time was after a fresh install of Windows 7.

    2nd layer of defense I suppose. A lot of users in this thread use the combination of Online Armor with Zemana Antilogger, I just use Keycrambler Personal because its FREE!

    OA++ is excellent IMO. You should give it a go. I'd be interested though why you don't think the A2 (inculdes Ikarus as well as Emsi engine) is not 'up to the test'. Too many FP's is usually the criticism rather than lack of detection. With OA++ HIPS/OASIS check cuts false positives substantially but still kick-ass detection for me.

    Does it miss some stuff you throw at it? Yeah. Has every other product I've ever tried ? Yeah, because nothing nails everything. But with this one you have a top notch HIPS product and automatic 'run-safer' of unknown programmes if you choose to help you make the right choices/protect you.

    Cheers
