Yep, it's a trial run but so far so good. It's nice having everything under one umbrella. For now I had to remove the webguard though it was really slowing the browsing.

 

That seems to be a common issue with Webguard.

 

Geswall and CIS firewall defense+ were working so well together that I decided to add the AV to CIS firewall. So now am running CIS complete along with Geswall. Really surprised how well they get along together. Firefox opens up quick as a hiccup even with Drop My Rights and browsing speed is excellent. No nagging popups either.

 

re-installed Shadow Defender to test softwares that don't need a reboot to install.

it saves me the time to restore an image if things don't work out.

 

Uninstalled Comodo Time Machine for no reason. It served me well. It uninstalled perfectly as well.
Then I restore from a clean System Image I made last year using Microsoft's own Image Restore. It restored perfectly too
Windows update done!

Now, I'm going to create a new setup

I'm planning to go Virtualization + Sandboxing + Antikeylogger build.

Programs that I have in mind:
Returnil System Safe 2011 FREE
Sandboxie FREE
Prevx SafeOnline FREE
Bufferzone PRO now FREE
Spyshelter FREE
Trusteer Rapport

 

Sandboxie, spyshelter and returnil. Wonderful combo. I'm telling you, when I got rid of the whole AV-percentage-is-better-crap, I was so better off. I mean I do have CIS which has the AV but I rely mostly on sandboxie and D+. I'll turn on shadowdefender testing out malware or occisionally surfing around some unsafe areas.

 

I forgot what it's like to update an av,worry about it's detection rate,update to version 101

Life without an Av = priceless

 

Try auto update for definitions, don't worry as long as you have one with an established track record, auto update for new versions.

 

switched to avast internet security 6, its nice and light. very nice.

Trialing NIS for 90 days.Beside the fact that it increased the boot time with 7-8 sec,everything seems fine.There are some tweaks for it that i should know about?

 

Smart move!

 

Back to CIS firewall defense+ only and added Prevx SafeOnline.

 

Looking for something to try

 

I think you've tried everything.

 

Oh no! Noob has tried everything...now what? I'm scared...

 

He probably has and now he is bored

 

Try Spy Emergency and/or Hazard Shield Noob

 

Actually i haven't really tried that much software, it's just that some of them doesn't gives me confidence (Dr. Web, Immunet and many others)

And now i'll probably only be really active on sunday but I still log on to check Wilders everyday.

 

Dr Web really isn't that bad. You can try that.
