No conflicts, no bloat/overlap, very light and pretty bulletproof regarding each systems uses. Perfect setup for me and ill be sticking with this.

 

Well does anyone have a "lighter" program than drivesentry (resident malware spyware hips prog) ?

I tried to play a game drivesentry grow to 800 Mbits memory used

I'm a bit annoying about the memory use...

 

Behind router:
Laptop 1:

Windows Vista SP1 under LUA
GeSWall
On demand:
DrWeb CureIt, AVZ

Laptop 2:

Windows XP SP3 under LUA
DefenseWall
On demand:
DrWeb CureIt, AVZ

Well, I never use on demand tools...

 

you can try Mamutu, although its not free or as full featured, it is similar as it is a BB like drivesentry. im currently using it until drivesentry gets there bugs solved.

 

Have u tried Threatfire?

 

TF adds tooo much to boot and load time ... removing it rejuvenated my computer.

 

howdi oh.

My aim is to reach one of the best free setup so thanks but i will not try mamutu.

BB ? what do you mean ?

I didn't know this one is it good ? does is protect against spy mal and hips ?

Thanks for your help

 

BB = Behavior Blocker.

Am I good to go?

 

Good to go for what?
Honestly, all these security measures are there IMO to prevent you from doing any damage to your system.
If you want to protect the PC get firewall, keep an image just in case and keep your system up-to-date or even better use alternative software with less vulnerabilities. Just know what you do and it will keep you safe.

 

But...what if I don't want to know what I do??

You once said you would drop LnS if MD implented network control;
what is the reason you decided to keep LnS?

 

that MD yet hasn't implemented network access protection (it has in beta version though)
