    Now using Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security with the Firewall Booster to enhance the protection given by Windows Firewall. The settings are password protected. I have Anvir Task Manager Free to notify me about New startup programs, services, IE addons. Sandboxie is there in case. Clear Cloud DNS is doing its job as always. Guess what I am fully satisfied with this setup. Trend is doing great here. I am impressed.

    Well, I can't browse now through all the posts, it's a very large thread, but your setup is pretty sick for example.
    I can bet you $1k that if from your list you exclude everything except Comodo you'll never get infected.
    If you are really scared and need AV that much, you can run just Avast along with it.
    But running all those AV's in real-time with all other stuff ... I don't get it :blink:

    But it doesn't matter, don't get offensive now, joke had nothing against you, didn't had you in mind while I was writing it.

    Run whatever you want man, make it even x2 stronger for all I care :)

    It's not worse than the joke though. There are no noticeable compatibility problems.
    I wouldn't trust Comodo only. It has weaknesses, especially with default settings. Maybe Sandboxie, but even then I'll rely on online resources.
    Avast and MSE run in different layers. There's no Comodo AV installed, and MBAM isn't an AV.

    Let's just say my computer is very important for me.

    I understand, that's perfectly fine AFAIC.

    In my case firewall is the only thing that is important to me, have it set on Very High alert setting, I'm able to control every outgoing/incoming IP for every app. with it and I haven't seen that feature in other firewalls (for alerts, not manual config). And I've tried them all. Most definitely the best software firewall that exists currently. Not to mention how light and stable is, don't know about other features of Comodo, dropped them long time ago since I don't think that I need them, but when I was using them I found nothing wrong with them. As for other things, I'm capable of knowing what's what and what's not. If you are unsure you can always check something with VT or on-demand scanner. UAC is disabled and I always run as Admin. I do a quick scan with Hitman and MBAM once or twice a month, they never find anything...

    Removed WinPatrol PLUS (never really use it) and avast! free. Added MSE Panda Cloud Antivirus, Sandboxie and have setup AppLocker.

    Edit: Removed MSE as unfortunately it still bogs down the computer when a folder full of exe files is opened.

    I´m thinking addind Emisoft AM as on-demand only.
    So, Emisoft users, can this AV be installed without real-time module (opted-out during install)?
    Thanks
