Is this too much? Will it ruin/slowdown the system significantly?

    Agree I too. Two HIPS or HIPS +IDS etc can interfere in the malware detection process.

    Zemana is a joke on x64 bit systems (it's not finished), the only thing useful is the baking protection and you can get it for free with trusteer rapport or safe online

    Hmm So you are saying that too many HIPS hooks might create "false hooks"? I.e. the app thinks that it's hooked to a stack but in reality it isn't?

    However, I see people running EAM and OA Premium and even emisoft is saying that's ok. But EMET and OA Premium is basically identical to OA++ and Mamutu setup.

    i cant say better.

    i tried EAM (with mamutu inside) + OAP, the HIPS and Mamutu never had any conflict of any sort. if my OAP trial was not expired i will surely still using it.

    all of them are from emsisoft... the company may have tested and fixed any incompatibilities between their products?
    but IMHO just to be sure I'd still not want to run them both together... for optimum performance and stability of my system :)

    Read my signature :D
    I run exactly the first setup you mentioned EAM + OA Premium.

    From what i can see there's no conflicts i've ever experienced. They run great together, it's just that for most people there's no need for such a system hog but given the fact that i love pop ups (Something that everyone hates) i can handle EAM + OA Premium :D

    I don't really think Mamutu would conflict with OA since it's a Classical HIPS + Behavior Blocker.
    If you want to run it that way there's no problem at all since Mamutu is extremely light based on my experience

    WinPatrol would not be necessary since OA is a HIPS and by nature a HIPS would already alert you of any changes, Zemana is not really necessary either since OA already comes with an Anti-Keylog module. PrevX SafeOnline from what i know is mostly like an Anti-Phising software from what i know so not really necessary either.

    RunSafer "could" replace SandBoxie of course SandBoxie is more effective than RunSafer since it's a full virtualization program but since RunSafer is already integrated in OA it could reduce bloat :D

    If you will keep NOD then you're better with OA Premium and use EAM without a license as a second opinion scanner. Then you can add the light HMP as startup scans or Malwarebytes as a second opinion scanner also.

    He's just saying that adding programs increases your attack surface.

    Mamutu is a behavior blocker, it's like an intelligent HIPS, so you will get less popups but also could allow some malware.
    If you are already using a HIPS you don't need Mamutu, you will get duplicate alerts, you can have both but will a waste of money and resources.
    Let say that the HIPS detects and show a popups for everything and a behavior blocker only for the things that are consider suspicious according to some rules.
    OA++ is OA premium with AV, if you already use any other AV like NOD32 you dont need OA++ or EAM
    Anyway I would consider free alternatives that will protect you equal or better.

    Frankly, I'm using KeyScrambler and SpyShelter on different Setups. :argh:

    KS only protects against real time key-login, SS is an excellent HIPS but IMO the most complete browsing protection programs are SafeOnline and Trusteer Rapport

    Can SafeOnline Remove Malware/KeyLoggers or just Detect about them?

    The last time I had use the Free version of Prevx, it could Not Remove Malware; only Detect it.
