About A-Squared

I just started running A-Squared. Am I good with just A-squared and windows XP firewall? Any suggestions on another protection layer to run alongside?

 

firewall w/ hips. some would argue that xp firewall is enough. Try either PCtools, Online armor, private and outpost. All have free versions and all have good hips.

 

What about something like appguard or geswall?

 

yeah geswall would be a good choice too. Sandboxie or defensewall as well.

 

Online armor would be good too

 

Hey noob,
How is Outpost working with A2? I used it a few years ago but never went back to it.

 

Working extremely good, haven't experienced a single software conflicts

 

I run this config now for approx. 2 years.
Everything is just fine.
So just go for it.

 

Using A-Squared , Norton with Outpost.. all work well.

 

I heard that a-squared have lot of fp? Is that right?

 

Yeah, it does have some FP's sometimes according to some members, though in my experience i have 0 FP's

 

I run a-squared and Vista firewall. But I also run MAM. That's all I have and need I believe. Never been infected by anything in 20 years.

 

Not in my experience.

 

I think it depends on which kind of software you run.
If you use many not so well known programs and little tools, there will be more FPs. If you prefer standard software, the amount of FPs will be less.
I had my last FP approx one year ago.

 

It works ok.

 

First time had a FP with A-Squared.
Just yesterday i ran CCleaner and it detected it as a trojan

But common sense was enough to not delete it

 

AppGuard is very quite and nice. i would suggest that. easy to configure and all.

 

I discovered asquared a few days ago when a friends comp and my wife's comp got infected.
My wife's had AVG internet security 9 paid edition and my friend had Bit Defender suite.Neither caught the Trojans.

I got some help at Major Geek forum
/Malware removal and I was told to get rid of aSquared.I didn't because it does good.
I also have no faith in all the ,so-called,anti-virus testing sites.One has aSquared at the top and the next ne has it in the 15th spot.Lying ba$t@rd$.

 

I can run aSquared, Avira anti-virus,OA, and AppGuard without conflict?

 

SO....Do you like a-squared or do you hate it? What were the "experts" over at Major geek recommending?

 

I like it. It seems to be a good catcher.
I think the person at Majer Geek is uninformed about aSquared NOW.
He said "stick to regulars like Super_anti-Spyware and MBAM.

 

They are very good at detection and at removal one of the best!

 

What do you use to make the My sys Profile?

If I run SUPERAntispywarePro' Online Armor free,A good free anti-virus, would it benefit me to run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware pro also?

 

This is a very good program ! False positives are few . Used to be a problem over a year ago depending on whom you speak to . I would use this one in a heartbeat for single protection . I have found this program to always be strong . Maybe not always but , for the last 5 years at least . Differing versions of course . I am not a hater or a fan boy . You want good protection and you want an honest opinion that is only based on expertise and fact , this is a no brainer .

Can I have a free license now.

 

I would add Winpatrol 2010 to the list.
Winpatrol free is a life safer in my opinion.
WinPatrol Plus 2010 offers some features more and it is really cheaper.
It won't confilict with any of the above mentioned softwares
