    Now rocking a new x64 windows 7 laptop along side my MacBook air.

    Using the normal setup I posted before. Any good 64 bit security software out there? Also is sanboxie experimental protection compatible with Truecrypt FDE?

    Removed AV component from CIS.
    Added Avast 6 free.
    Running CIS firewall
    Avast free (P2P, email and IM sheild off)
    MBAM realtime (Website blocking off)
    Sandboxie.
    Norton DNS
    I hope my laptop doesn't explode.
    MBAM might have to bit the bullet and get slapped back to on-demand.

    Any suggestions for browser protection against malware/phishing links or those facebook malware? like WOT? Bit Defender Traffic Light? What's the best?

    Both are great (and compatible with each other), but watch out for false positives, especially from WOT.

    I wonder if Bitdefender Traffic Light will interfere with Panda URL Filter?

    No problems. I saw some of the lastest MRG and PCmag results and was mentally bullied into changing it. I did notice that with CIS with AV running ran about 18k -20k mem. That was at rest with nothing running. After I took out the AV CIS firewall ran at 5K. Avast running is about 6800K at idle. I also like that avast has the web shield and the boot time scan. I have the sandbox for avast set for ask. So far with the 3 "sandboxes" I have, they seem to be getting along. We'll see how long it lasts.
    Even with firefox running, Avast is only at 12K total for both avastgui and avast service. Not too shabby.

    Windows XP PRO

    Thinking about adding some new stuff even though this setup is solid and I have had no problems since switching to this.

    My XP 32bit machine is now running EMET 2.1 with DEP on Opt Out and a few programs forced. DefenseWall 32bit. Chrome beta. That's all I think it needs, it's got very weak hardware.

    It's alright... I personally don't love the UI but from what I understand it is very powerful.

    I don't use my XP machine much at all. It's very weak and therefor I feel DefenseWall is an excellent solution for that machine's security.

    True,the GUI is not the most attractive one out there but the protection and support is both top notch.

    I have never had any malware issues with DefenseWall running.

    I should run some tests to see how it actually does. We'll see. The concept seems promising.

    Just make sure in your tests that they run as "untrusted" and I don't believe you will be disappointed.
