Hi all, I thought it might be a good idea to possibly create a thread which contains some recommendations for PG 3.0 settings. I noticed one thread for NOD32. This may be a more orderly way to document these settings for future PG 3.0 pruchasers. For me this process is a little overwhelming. The software that I have running in the background or possibly on demand that I would be interested in for comments are: PG 3.0 ZoneAlarm Pro BOClean Ewido Giant Anti-Software NOD32 KAV 4.5.104 TDS-3 TrojanHunter Ad-aware Spybot Port Explorer Windows Task Manager TaskMan I am sure others will additional requests, but these seem to be some of the more popular ones such as other AVs, SSM, Prevx, etc. Any advice, discussion or suggestions would be appreciated by myself and I am sure many other users and potential buyers.

Hi I'll kick off with a few Both KAV & ZA have kernel level protection so I would not worry too much about them though you can Switch ZA's guard off and allow PG to do it if you wish PG 3.0 See my tip here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=20348 Post 12 ZoneAlarm Pro See note above KAV 4.5.104 Default settings and see note above TDS-3 Default settings + SMH using the Insert key on the menu exit and X Port Explorer Default settings + SMH if required you feel insecure Windows Task Manager: I use Process Explorer with Install drivers and termination + SMH
hi Pilli, would you mind elaborating on why Process Explorer (I use that too-- excellent tool!) needs "install drivers" privs? thanks
Hi LuckMan212, Process Explorer uses a service or driver to show certain information such as the .dll or handles view. If you do not allow it you will not see the list, at least in my experience. Cheers. Pilli
Great stuff Pilli. Thanks a lot. Helps me move to the full version of PG with more confidence. Thanks a lot. Rich
