    I don't see why, since he already has AppGuard.

    Well at least you got it fixed up lol :D

    Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    System: UAC (Always Notify) + EMET + Applocker
    Real-time: Qihoo 360 Internet Security 2013 + Outpost Firewall Pro
    Backup: AX64 Time Machine + SkyDrive
    Browser: Palemoon + NoScript + HTTPS Everywhere + LastPass
    On Demand: HitmanPro

    Setup works well for me, I will probably stay with it for a while, hopefully :D

    The RAM usage does not say if the product is bloated or not, and one should not say that high RAM usage is = heavy on the system.... see my sig.

    EDIT: BTW this gives more details about the RAM usage....and I don't need to explain it all over myself :p

    Lol, then what were you doing with OA all these years and not having fun in messing with your OS in the early days of using it? :D

    Well, in case anyone's interested in playing around with OA's rules, here's mine. It shouldn't cause too much headache. Might change it in the future though.

    Kaspersky is not like Eset...I know lots of people that has issues with Kaspersky slowing their pc down including me, Eset is light as a feather even though it is pretty high in ram usage.

    Yeah 86K. That was after updating. Not sure if it was doing anything in the background. I wasn't running a scan or updating. Maybe I should have given it a chance and left it on for a few days. Might give it another go.

    See my siggy Ziegfried.

    On a off note, when I win the lottery I'm going to buy tons of software so I can compete with Securon and try to win" Most Coveted Customer of The Year" from all the security companies.

    Have you compared KIS 2013 to 2014? For me, the new version is slower than 2013...agree on ESET.:thumb:

    Good one Securon, Covert Customer of the Year. :)

    Still running Sandboxie and WSA here. It's been months and haven't found a reason to change that combination.

    The point I was making was that one should not say that a product is heavy because it has a higher RAM usage than let's say average. But there's more to it than this of course. And when it comes to ESET, the way it uses the RAM is one of the keys to it's great system performance, plus the engine itself of course...and that everything is tightly integrated...that's all I will say.

    Tried EMET again, got problems again lol. I probably won't touch EMET anymore since I have no interest in tweaking it for now.

    Next stop --> AX64 Time Machine. :D
