    I don't understand... Comodo does only scan them after they're downloaded. I don't think it scans them again.

    Most of you will never achieve the brilliance of my award winning set-up below, because you are unable to realize - and unconditionally embrace - the concept of primarily harnessing what's already built-in to the O/S, instead relying on 3rd party protection to fulfil your pc security needs. Too bad you can't see the forest through the trees :(

    No need to be confused. "primarily" I stated, and please note that MBAm here is "on-demand" only, used sparingly, while EMET is MS produced to integrate nicely with Windows. ShadowProtect images are created with a boot disk, so no impact on real-time O/S resources, while TrueCrypt also has no real-time impact on resources. SuRun is basically a convenience tool as opposed to a security tool, so maybe I should not have included it, but, again, most people don't realize the brilliance of it either. Hope this makes sense.

    I've seen that in your posts. You're one of the few who have a grasp on applying pc security in a sensible manner. And yes, while I'm serious, I'm also trying to convey a smattering of facetiousness in my ramblings :D

    Been there done that wat. I used the majority of award winning setup months ago. I even spend lots of time reading about applocker and LUA. Used LUA and didn't like it, so I ran applocker with an admin account. The setup is very inconvenient to me, as a person who makes constant changes to his system, but its also very light and secure.

    Point is that that's far from the only thing CIS does. And while I'd hardly call it heavy, it is kind of bulky, with a lot of things under 1 roof. And my goal there was to have the lightest+most effective possible solution without the need for such things as bulky suites and/or real-time AV monitoring.

    I'm not sure I could personally live without Comodo FW/HIPS now, but if they made something like I mentioned I sure might try.

    My brief Zemana trial was interesting but with Panda's behavior blocking and using Google chrome it seemed pretty unnecessary. Just one more gadget running on my computer.

    Yeah at this point it just feels like anything I can add to my computer is "fluff" and unnecessary. The only weak point in my system will be fixed in V6 of Comodo and other than that I can't think of any attack vectors that aren't covered.
