    Hmm, were we separated at birth, because it is rare that two superior minds like ours would come from different families.:p

    Actually I should change my sig, using EAM now, for some reason I didn`t even think of it, guess my superior mind is inferior now.

    And BTW, where is my little buddy Securon, he hasn`t posted in here for over a week, hope he didn`t fall thru the ice when he was ice fishing.

    Why aren you using the more-up-to-date dnscrypt-winclient ? it also lets you choose between ports and more DNS providers?

    Yes, I know. He's using a lot of his knowledge he acquired from his career, and I also think he's having a lot fun, so why not.

    A number of programs provide that function. In addition to the ones already mentioned, outpost firewall and security suite both do it very well, and any anti-executable program will also do it.

    Updated MalwareBytes Anti-Malware 1.75 Pro to 2.x Premium.
    Yesterday i installed Zemana AntiMalware 2 Beta, only because of free Lifetime License, and i wanna see what kind of program is it.
    Os and other security programs are same:
    Windows 7 64bit
    Emsisoft Anti-Malware 9
    HitManPro and HitManPro.Alert 3 RC, and now with activated license.

    MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit has been removed, and it's not coming back.
    (edit: maybe today HMP.Alert and MBAE work together ok, but every HMP.Alert or MBAE update can break that.
    + i have HMP.Alert license, so thats my choice.)

    ps: My Mother's Win 8.1 and Brother's Win XP is protected with EAM 9, MBAM 1.75 or 2.x.
    and now MBAE removed, Firefox did hang and freeze up alot on Win 8.1 and Win XP did have some Flash plugin issue. MBAE removed and issue(s) fixed instantly. it's not coming back.
    (edit: i have more HMP licenses, so i may protect Win XP with .Alert.)

    And since last October me, myself and i have used mainly Ubuntu Laptop, it's odd feeling that security programs are not needed and i still feel super safe. okei, Brain 3.0 is needed: me, myself and i.
