    I have only one complaint with DSA, it's built in firewall blocks ping. And no way to turn if off except stop the DSA.

    Jmonge,

    Want a killer setup?

    - first line: your router - inbound (hardware) firewall - future outbound control of DW
    - second line: DefenseWall for threatgate applications (locking untrusted programs and files)
    - third line: Spyberus: you have roll back opton for installs (in the cases you would need to trust and installation executable with DW)

    On demand A2 Malware 4

    You could use PC Tools FW for the time being (DW not offering outbound)

    Actually, if you can get the installation files for PrivateFirewall (install it with Sandboxie and copy the files or open the installer with Universal Extractor), you can open PrivateFirewall and allow ping for the "System Services" entry. Then you can close it and run DSA as usual. I saved the DSA registry entries so I can just merge them on a new install.

    You'll need the proper version (I used 6.0.11.30) and the SSCProt.dll in the system32 folder. Possibly pf6.lic too.

    That's a good question. Is it worth installing?

    SpyBerus (or like now, PC Armor) seems like the ideal "Semi-HIPS" solution for me. DefenseWall is not my cup of tea... anyway, will the protection of PC Armor also make AVG LinkScanner redundant with its provided protection? I'm thinking about protection for the Opera Web-browser; exploits, zero-day malware, etc.?

    Might eventually add Security 360 (IObit) in the future, and in that case probably the next beta version at the earliest.

    Kees, could you also tell me what RGuard is for PC Armor as it gets installed at the same time? Thanks. :)

    Ah, thanks. How does it compare to AVG LinkScanner protection-wise?

    Yes, just thinking about the whole "software" as a package - as I'm using Opera, my browser is often not supported, so now I need some information on Opera and PC Armor as a whole in comparison to the protection provided by AVG LinkScanner. :)

    Thanks, jmonge. It seems it doesn't support Opera, and has only produced pop-ups so far (FPs). I've indeed installed new software, but it hasn't noticed that, so I'm more thinking through if I should install Security 360 instead.

    BTW anyone know where I can find older version of Spyberus? I mean FREE version before 'upgrade' to payware PCArmor.

    Thanks,

    Been using Dynamic Security Agent for several years on an XP PC with no issues and decent alerts etc. Some time afterwards i also installed Threatfire. I found a lot of everlap with the two, both often alerting to the same things. But now and then one or the other would be alone in alerting, so i kept both running.

    I'd recommend to people if they needed some extra protection that they didn't already have.

    I have at least one version of Spyberus FREE kicking around on a HD somewhere. If you havn't been able to locate one in a few days or so, then let me know and i'll go and connect it up and dig it out for you, if you like ?
