    Hi, im looking for a light setup.

    I have noticed that some people just use nod32, windows firewall and nat device since they are safe surfer.

    I was thinking about using nod32+online armor as a possibility and of course windows firewall+nat device. i may want to add a third party firewall later. comodo could come in there.

    or the same except prevx1 instead of online armor so then i have a outbound protection. but i see that if your pc isn't infected you dont need outbound protection.

    any sergestions to setup's I could use?

    thanks in advance

    u could use NOD32 + OA + Windows Firewall, and when its finished use switch to OA's firewall or when its released use the NOD32 suite.

    i personally prefer outbound protection but its all up to you.

    thanks for the info. I was wondering if they are just doing online armor standard with firewall?


    I really dont know why i forgot about my good experience with nod32 during testing in till that honest opinion post came up.

    I like the fact that if i brought nod32 i would get 3.0 when its released.

    lodore as far as I know Mike`s is going to go with the FW also in the standard version and the AV+.

    edit: I`m running NOD32 and OAFW+Virus with no problems at all.

    @Beetlejuice: doesn't that go against the usual advice re two running scanners?

    or is there some secret to this?

    OA AV only scans programs on execute iirc. other file types on your disk wont be scanned except when u do a manual scan.
