    That did not last long. I just can't bring myself to get used to a real time av once I've been using on demand scans and sbie.

    Hi !

    There already a AV included in Ubuntu working in a background (I think is ClamAV).

    I play with Ubuntu since 2006 without any problem, simply do the regulary update, common sense and use firefox with his classic security exention (No Script, Adblock, WOT and ect...) and you're set...

    Have a nice day

    There is no AV running in background. No need for that.

    I agree jmonge. I am going to try MSE forawhile but if it diesnt cut the mustard, going to WSA as they still stand the best chance for rising to the top.

    I tried Avast IS, Kaspersky IS then Ad-Aware Pro and they all have my computer acting so much differently than just using SBIE. Avast had my web browsing slowed down some, otherwise it was ok. With KIS, Firefox would not launch and with AAP my system seemed unstable. Instead of messing with the settings and trying to find the cause I just uninstalled. I may try Avast IS again but with some shields not installed.

    Changed to F-Secure, it's almost Bitdefender without the blue screens and other bugs, did very well last AV-Test report :thumb:
    Probably gonna grab something to run on-demand aswell...
    Edit: It's very light too!

    Have been comparing KIS 2012, NIS 2012, and BIS 2012. Certainly all solid...KIS is still a little heavier then the other two. I am surprised though, after using Bitdefender for 2 days, running several full scans, lots of browsing, it seems quite light. A few years back, that wasn't the case. I still think WSA is coming on fast and will be excellent (if not already).:eek:

    I had tried BAV and it was pretty light compared to the 2010 version. WSA will share the top place in some months with EAM(because I'm using EAM :D) absolutely no doubt imo.

    Just put Sandboxie (Experimental Mode) on a new computer (Win7 64-bit).
    Also running OA Free (firewall w/program guard, web shield and anti-keylogger), VIPRE AV and MBAM Pro. KeyScrambler Premium, KeePass, Norton DNS and Chrome browser round out the setup. HitmanPro on-demand.

    Oh I see. That's unfortunate. But I'm sure if you start a new thread in the Firewall sub-forum, members using spyshelter fw will more than help you my friend. :)

    I'm stuck on Acronis TI, for now. It's always served me well. I understand it and trust it.
