    Better yet is to pair DefenseWall with Light Virtualization such as Shadow Defender or similar and with a simple reboot all is back to where it was, at least this combo has worked quite well here for years now.

    I would love to us defensewall. I'm way to cheap to buy it though. The only reason I bought sandboxie was it was 50% a lifetime license. :p

    listen to this, Webroot® SecureAnywhere™v8.0.1.203 is here to stay;) :thumb:
     
  7. Have they improved their detection rates? I really like Webroot just the low detection rates holding me back from renewing my subscription.

    You still don't understand how WSA works read the whole article!

  10. OK done! Well the automatic sand-boxing is impressive and the explanation was great. But I found it a bit lacking in info about browser hijacks/MITM attacks and your details about your firewall. Can you say what technology is used in those cases? I;m not asking for the source code :p I'm just asking for a little bit more technical information on those aspects of your product so I can make my opinion up.

    Is MBAM on-access/realtime? Anyways, I suggest you add sandboxie, HitmanPro, a solid password manager like LastPass or KeePass and a comprehensive backup solutions- drive imaging, cloud backup solution like dropbox or Skydrive, data backup on flash drives, on external hdds.

    Good Morning ! Yes Amit... Avira I.S.2012 is nimble and fast...and Zemana is really effective in detecting changes to the apps on your system...so far I'm impressed with Zemana's performance. Sincerely...Securon

    Ah great to know. :) Do you know think Zemana AL overlaps with any security suite or firewall with antilogger features(nowadays most suites even AVs and individual firewalls come with solid antilogger protection features)? I have Zemana warning me and blocking unknown apps which tries to get keystrokes, webcam shots, etc. But so does my OA. I am always concerned with apps overlapping with one another, causing possible hidden conflicts. Another example is, WSA protects browser against MITB and MITM. But so does OA. And I use both of them. Most people and even Webroot people including Joe here say I should be fine with both.

    Good Morning ! Amit...I agree as previously stated Zemana..is very pro-active almost has Hips like behaviour. But that's O.K. Most important Zero conflicts with WSA and Avira. Sincerely...Securon

    Just started MSE with WSA Antivirus as my real-time protection, with both programs set up for one another. Super light system resource usage with no noticeable slowdowns, and I feel more secure than with just either program by itself. :thumb:
