Dropped MSE and shut off windows firewall. Just DefenseWall Personal Firewall with mbam on demand. Done playing around this is what works with no suprises for me.

 

It causes my system to BSOD so I stopped using Comodo

Online Armor is fine. Very light as usual at least for me.

 

I keep my head on a swivel and my elbows up.

 

Yikes calgary and toronto 11th west and east. Not looking good.

 

Back to what works.
Ditched WSA.
Brought back PCAV and shadowdefender.

 

BufferZone Pro 4.01
HitmanPro 3.6.0.146

 

Trouble with WSA?

 

Wouldn't allow shadowdefender or killswitch to run. That was a deal breaker for me.

 

ditch comodo antivirus and went back to my original shield defender in lockdown mode
reason why was because comodo slowed me down my system

 

me too.

I tried Malwarebytes but it wasn't for me. I like my programs to work in the BG and not force me to click on anything if I can help it. AppGuard has been OK but I constantly have to turn it off when I want to use a program, etc. which is annoying. Look n Stop can get a tad annoying as well with the pop ups to authorize but I've already paid for it so it's here to stay. Thankfully the pop ups aren't that frequent.

Sandboxie and Hitman Pro have been perfect.

Is AppGuard a one time payment or a yearly thing? Or is it a lifetime with paid yearly updates like DefenseWall?

I had Vipre Internet Security but it was awful and slow and wasn't nearly as efficient as had been written in reviews. Unfortunately, I found this site a few days too late, so I couldn't cancel my subscription before the 30 day money back guarantee.

Hopefully my current set up works out but if anyone has better options for security programs that aren't intrusive I'd appreciate you mention them via a reply. Thanks.

 

I think it's a lifetime license but I've read in the appguard thread that there could be extra fees when a new version with major changes is released. However I think Barb wrote that you won't have to pay anything for the new version that will be released this month if you already have a valid license.

btt: trying the Exe Radar Free Version on my notebook + Sandboxie + EMET + DNS Advantage

 

every comodo product has caused error or given me hassles......except for firewall/d+.......I would never ever use any comodo product except of course fw......it's that damn good........

good to know buddy......I would use it if my other software had not already covered OA's feature.....

 

My friend doesn't matter if I install the full suite or just the firewall, it causes a bsod every time. I have not used or tried any other Comodo product except CIS.

 

that's unfortunate.....oh well, if a thing doesn't work for you it's always a good idea to stay away from it.....I'm just glad OA is not giving you much trouble.......I've not tried OA yet.......that would nicely fit with eam since both are in the same busty pouch....but Zemana along with wsa fw and win fw pretty much cover it all......tell me my good friend....how's OA's apatite?......is it too chummy?........

 

woah seems as if your pc is allergic agains commodo lols xD

 

lol I know right. I have been using Comodo Firewall for years and now all of a sudden I can't use it. OA is working very well for me, so no big deal there.

Only time I really get popups with OA is when installing software, whether I'm upgrading or installing new software. Other that than I barely get any popups.

 

I'm liking SpyShelter Firewall with my browsers running restricted. Would it be ok to also run AppGuard? Or would they interfere with each other?

 

they both are good

 

I haven't been changing my setup for last two months. I think I found my perfect combination:

Router with firewall
Windows 7 firewall (inbound only)

Real time:
Sandboxie (for browsers)
Malware Defender (with locked UI)
Emet (for internet facing apps and apps that open files)
AdBlock Plus for Firefox and Chrome

On-demand:
ESET online scanner
Hitman PRO
MBAM
Acronis TI
Cobian backup
Other various security related apps.

 

You're good to go. I have notice other people running them together.

 

I've run both together on XP and all went well.

 

Had to do a fresh install (file corruption) so decided not to reinstall EMET, as I couldn't be arsed setting it up again. I've also left MBAM PRO off for now as I'm loving the lightness Webroot SecureAnywhere brings. This, along with regular image-based backups and I'm good to go.
