    Kees, how is BZ's impact on performance - is there any lag? Is it easy to transfer programs installed in the virtual zone to the trusted zone, also is it simple to restore downloaded files by the browser into the virtual zone to the trusted one as is with Sandboxie?

    Emsisoft AM + Online Armor Premium + Prevx with SafeOnline + KeyScrambler Premium (+ Windows Defender)

    Seems really over the top to me?

    SafeOnline already protects you against the same as KeyScrambler does
    Online Armor offers a webshield and banking protection, which is also included in the other products.

    Emsisoft offers Mamutu, a behavior blocker which doesn't really add something to Prevx. But you could also say Prevx doesnt really add something to Emsisoft.

    Emsisoft + OA Premium covers all angles in my eyes, so does Prevx SO + OA Premium.

    jmonge, I haven't seen much of a slowdown with Sandboxie. I just tested loading 5 web sites in a row with SB and without. The difference was with SB 59 seconds, without SB 51 seconds. That includes the time it takes SB itself to load.

    Two changes:
    - Replaced PrivateFirewall with latest version of Comodo FW/HIPS.
    - Installed Sandboxie.

    Current Comodo Firewall/D+ is everything one might expect of a FW/HIPS. Great whitelist. Good granularity in setup checkboxes. Like OA, HIPS alarms are perceptibly slower than PFW. PFW alarms are lightning-fast.

    Sandboxie installation, setup and use is much easier than I had imagined. Great program.

    Part one of my family laptop security change done:

    Old Setup: Panda Cloud + Windows Defender + ClearCloud

    Current: Panda Cloud + Clearcloud

    This machine does not have much ram and even though I cleaned things up and turned some stuff off it has less ram open then when I started.

    Comodo is superior overall:
    - Great whitelist.
    - Great granularity in setup check-boxes.
    - Sandboxing program option.
    - Newest FW/HIPS version is certainly worth at least a trial.

    If instant-alarm response is your greatest hot-button, then PFW wins - and OA has the slowest alarm response among Comodo, PFW and OA.

    just bought a new destop computer:D yay....:thumb: so my set up will be changing a litle bit:D
    i am planing to add either blue point security or prevx;) for the new destop computer:D
    or just buy prevx for all 4 computers:thumb:
    it is windows 7 64 bits so Defensewall is not my top choice even if i really love defensewall

    Honestly I know what each security application does and I didn't ask for any advice on my setup no offence. I'm fine with my setup. You have your opinion.
