    Thank you, all, for your contributions. The end result is that I'm keeping both on my home computer for now, with PG's execution protection switched off (my work computer doesn't have PG installed). Once OA v1.2 comes out, I'll review again, and once the next version of PG (or the new thing the boys at DCS are working on) is released, I'll review yet again.

    I suspect that's the process that I'll be going through for a while, at least until this market calms down and consolidates.

    Thanks again.

    personally i don't want to double up on HIPS - i just want one solution that is light on resource and stops anything nasty running on my machine however clever it tries to be. (and above all does not crash or corrupt my system - it's got to be 100% crash proof)

    can deal with all rootkits including all hacker defender variants
    can deal with all coolweb toolbar variants
    can deal with keyloggers running in stealth mode at kernel level
    can deal with all backdoor trojans however sophisticated
    can deal with trojans working in pairs or teams
    can deal with all hijack attempts and rogue dialers
    can deal with any attempt to remotely control a machine
    can deal with trojans that change their name so as to appear harmless
    can stop trojans from installing themselves first thing at boot up
    can deal with dll injection
    can protect the registry
    can prevent system settings from being changed
    can prevent key system files from being changed
    can deal with BIOS trojans and virii
    can deal with "suspicious activity"
    can prevent a trojan from disabling it
    has one click backup and restore of any changes it makes
    can deal with trojans yet to come - morphing/intelligent/cloaking etc etc
    can deal with anything else i haven't thought of

    in summary can stop anything - can remove anything - can reverse changes if needs be - and makes a nice cup of tea

    :cool:

    I'm not a techno expert... but in my humble opinion and simple understanding if I felt that the two programs are just doing the same job at the same time (except anti-spywares of course) then I have to decide w/c one should be considered to be the best to stay in my pc and get rid the other one... coz it'll only adds more "loads" to the already heavily loaded system and more to that was that an additional sophistications can only leads to more confusions and mental clutters and mental stress and an additional annoyances of too many pop-ups that can only distracts your main purpose why you're using this machine. :oops: :doubt:

    I haven't used yet online armor... but I can be already confident that ProcessGuard can do its job in protecting our pc. The full version of PG was just fine for me. ;)
