    Yeah, we finally got EMET 4!

    Doesn't EMET cover DEP/SEHOP/ASLR system-wide? Or is it better to enable them in OS itself?

    Would just like to say that this is the lightest setup ive ever used, and not to mention i feel as secure as i did when i used CIS.

    Are you having problems with the purge function on CIS...?
    I could only purge the trusted files but the others would make the window disappear.
    There are still a few bugs in there.

    No problems with that, but I have ran into others.

    I might either ride it out until 6.2 is released, or if it get's too bad, then back to avast! I go.

    Scrambling between setups once again.

    What do you think is a good choice?

    1.
    Comodo Internet Security Premium 6.2
    Sandboxie

    2.
    Comodo Internet Security Premium 6.2
    NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro x64

    3.
    Comodo Internet Security Premium 6.2
    NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro x64
    Sandboxie

    4.
    avast! Free Antivirus
    NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro x64
    Sandboxie

    5
    avast! Free Antivirus
    Outpost Firewall Pro 8.1
    Sandboxie

    I would like to try to keep Sandboxie in the mix this time, I made the mistake on not using it for awhile there.

    Thanks siketa, That's actually what I'm currently running

    If you don't mind me asking, what are your reasons for choosing that combo?

    Cause each product covers one security layer with no overlapping (AV+AE+SB).
    The setup is light on resources and does not give you many popups.
    :)

    Well comodo has their own sandbox as you know but im not sure how thoroughly tested it has been,where as sandboxie is a proven and tested program and it runs sweetly with avast.
    Damn now im itching to install avast again lol.

    Thats my view fwiw and the best of luck with whatever you choose.

    The Sandbox that comes with Comodo is actually quite powerful in it's beginning stages. I've thrown hundreds of malware at it, and it didn't budge one bit (During testing)

    Although, Comodo still needs to concentrate more on the Sandbox, because it does still have a lot of bypasses that have been documented.

    I would have to agree with you on Sandboxie, it is proven and tested, which is why I would choose it over Comodo, at least for now.

    I say why not...Run it, it's quite powerful and it keeps getting better and better from what I hear.

    Thank you AMIGA500 for your input, much appreciated for you replying to my posts and giving me your views on thing's.
