Perfectly said and exactly my findings, false positives and all. If this was just for my local development staff I think I would have used...
Just an update on some real-world results: I have deployed the PrevX solution to 7 systems so far. 3 systems reported trojans AND adware that...
I think Nod32 and PrevX have considerable overlap although I am seeing more detections (valid after researching) being caught by PrevX than my...
To answer my own post title: Yes, kind of, it depends .... :) Still playing with DefenseWall and Sandboxie for my advanced clients and my...
asiatrek, PrevX requires an internet connection to be effective. That's one reason I am looking at other low-cost AV scanners to operate when I...
Thanks Kees, I will take a look at those tools as well. I also do not approve of FF low-level architecture. But I do find its plugins quite...
Thank you! I love this forum! I will research F-Prot this afternoon. If I could treat all my clients as under me that wold be pretty cool. Then I...
Thanks for the comments Kees1958, I really like the idea of DefenseWall, and for my internal use it looks to be a great solution. But I am not at...
I am felling more confident all the time in the simple solution I am leaning towards, nice to know others in my same predicament are finding it...

I will test Sandboxie later this week, it sound like it will fit better into my "try lots of stuff and compare them" mode of operation. I...
Sandboxie is starting to seem like a nice idea for me and my advanced users. I am still trying to nail the differences between these. I am trying...
I would really like to use either of those, but in my users environment I would cause so much confusion it would be the end of my sanity I am...
Thanks Galileo, Nice to hear from someone with a similar environment. I run ClamAV on my Linux mail servers, which most of my clients use. It...
OK, watched videos, again. Reread threads on behavior blocking (BB) and HIPS (Host intrusion protection) and AV (Antivirus). But products are...
Thanks Ilya, I was afraid of the update issue. For my use DefenseWall sounds grand. But for others I have serious concerns I will be getting far...
Don't ThreatFire and DefenseWall overlap quite a bit? At least in purpose if not in execution. Isn't PrevX Edge and Threatfire also an overlap?...
I'm sorry, what is "TF"? I need to make an acronym guide.
Thanks Joeythedude for the heads up on Secunia. Tried the personal version and found my ActiveX Flash was out of date (no surprise, I am hardly...
Doing more research and I am questioning the ease of use of DefenseWall? Not for me or another experienced user, but for less experienced. If I...
