    I didn't know that. Please correct me if I overlooked or mis-stated any of OA's major capabilities. Also... keep up the good work!:D

    i have tested online and quite liked it but as i posted on online Armour forums, they need to put the following software in white list.
    fsis2006 and 2007
    spysweeper 5.0
    maxtor one touch backup software.
    I cant remember the rest.
    but obviously fsis2006 and 2007 it a must have in the white list.

    Don't worry lodore, don't think the white lists are finished yet, but Mike will get to it. ;)

    Yeah you are right, mostly at the moment, number one priority is the firewall.

    Regarding Online Armor, you also should factor in the superior service and support of Mike Nash & crew. Beside the fact that it is an excellent program constantly undergoing improvements. I'm currently running it with CPF, NOD32, and BOClean on a 3.2 ghz. HTP4 w/ 2 gigs of fast RAM. This configuration is not state-of-the-art, and there is no detectable hit on performance. I like to be the one to say yea or nay, so Online Armor works for me. Prevx is a quality product. I installed it on my non-tech wife's machine, (my tech wife doesn't need it! :D) and breathe easier for it!

    I still prefer Prevx1 and Notok provides some valued support here as well.

    Prevx1 is indeed good for non-tech housewives.

    One wife isn't natural, two is a crime, so you still need a third one ...
    During the day I put softwares in my hardware, at night I do it reversely.

    Yep, I know exactly what you mean! And just remember. There's a good selection of ports to choose from! ;)

    OMG, my hidden dirty joke is revealed and I coded it so well. :'(
    Yep, the open ports at night are indeed much better. :D

    The support forum for Prevx is at CastleCops, not here at Wilders.

    Any actual support issues are handled privately, Belgamin.

    Some readers might incorrectly interpret trjam's post to mean that Wilders is a Prevx support forum. I just wanted to make it clear that it is NOT.

    As far as I know, the only HIPS-types apps officially providing support here at Wilders are Process Guard & Ghost Security Suite. I respect that fact and feel that others should do so, too.

    To me, all products are supported here it would seem, by their users. To many times we have seen vendors interject but the true litmus test is the user. That is what I am. I am a Planner for the Dept. of Transportation and don’t think I have any viable connections to Prevx1, except the 2 paid licenses I bought. No one knocks Don for coming here and giving advice on Kaspersky, and I don’t see a forum heading for them. Or, say Nick and SAS, nope, don’t see a forum heading for them either. But all should be welcome. And if users of Prevx1 want to post questions here, why not. It seems to me it only strengthens this place and the purpose it was created for.

    Notok is not merely a *user* -- AFAIK he is a salaried employee of Prevx & a moderator on their forums. While I do not necessarily disagree with what you have said in this post, your earlier post implied that Notok provides support for Prevx via the Wilders forum. Notok himself clarified that matter by stating that he does so via private messages.

    To all:

    How about we keep the discussion technically focused and leave questions of moderation and administration of the board to the Moderators and Administrators? Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, in answer to the question, both are good. Why not trial them and see which works for you.
