    how about just comodo CIS alone?

    I guess I'm trying to avoid overkill.

    All home PC uses LUA for day-to-day operation.

    I am now using CIS 3.9 in Proactive Security mode. With Image Execution Control enabled (set to Normal), CIS functions as an anti-executable. Plus, I love the extra protection against Window Messages, DNS/RPC Client Service, Computer Monitor, Disks, and Keyboard. Matt's review of CIS 3.9 in Proactive Security mode convinced me to go Proactive.

    I dropped BOClean (R.I.P.) and Windows Defender. I added Prevx Edge. I'm pretty sure my system security just improved. :thumb:

    Thanks! Leaner and meaner, right? I am quite impressed with Prevx Edge. I guess I always come to the party late. :) I think their online User Guide is one of the best written documents I've read in a long time.

    I've just ditched all my previous favorite AV's, in favor for Prevx 3.0 (V. 3.0.1.65) realtime and On-demand. Running MBAM On-demand from time to time, just for second opinion. Also I have a hardware firewall. I must say that I feel VERY secure with that combo.
    IMHO Prevx 3.0 is a REAL winner ;-)


    Cheers

    Testing Sul's Pretty Good Security SRP application, now running on E5200@3,06 Ghz 2GB Ram XP Pro SP3 desktop

    Running as power user

    Realtime
    - Pretty Good Security SRP deny on user space all internet facing aps except Chrome running as limited user, plus numereous utils blocked or contained as LUA
    - Malware Defender (only direct memory/disk/registry/keyboard access plus protect kernel objects and deny system shutdown for applications, Chrome is only allowed to write to D:\Downloads, user space registry and autorun program directories protected, PGS can not be fiddled with by other programs, Outlook Express, WMP, LimeWire and IE8 are also heavily restricted and guarded by MD).
    - Avira Beta 9 Free version, enabled Proactive (- medium): Scanner (optimised scan plus check on rootkits before scan, heuristics low, unattended removal) Guard (heuristics high, check on all files at write only)
    - Keyscrambler free for IE8 (only icon display)

    We do online-shopping/banking with IE8 (XSS filter on, smart screen filter check before on-line shopping) daily browsing with Chromium (has an internal policy sandbox)

    On demand
    - OSAM
    - Panda Anti-rootkit
    - Fsecure Blacklight
    - Process Hacker

    Basic security level (application level security is futile when you have not taken precautions on network and data level)
    - external off line harddisk image backup/recover with Paragon Free, data backup/recovery with Syncback Free
    - router
    a) partitioned LAN (no traffic between clients - we have a gamer in da house, which is not allowed to access other PC's)
    b) Wireless longest key WPA2 AES,
    c) SSID hidden, new WL clients need a PIN to connect also, changed (ADMIN/USER passwords, IP address of router, name of network)
    d) MAC Address control
    e) DHCP reservation (clients get same IP addres based on Mac Addres)
    f) Network filter on used clients, other IP addresses are dropped
    g) Inbound filter on our own IP addresses (so internal IP addresses from WAN side blocked)
    h) ARP Spoof checking, DDOS/flood attack protection, no respond to Ping from Wan side enabled, UPnP disabled, SPI enabled (limited DPI with Network filter)
    i) Added OpenDNS primary and secondary servers in router (enabled phising protection in OpenDNS, disabled it in IE8 )
    j) Wireless clients the SSID and Router MAC address is preset in wireless card adaptor (this to assures adaptor only binds with Router)

    Sorry,

    Stil in Alpha phase, not released yet :oops: This is the basic SRP version, Smart LUA and possibly Smart Admin will be in next version. I do not know whether Sul wants to test the basic first and release SLUA and SADMIN afterwards, or provide it as a full package.

    Regards Kees

    Removed Panda Cloud AV.
    Found it to run too many process; takes too much memory space for an AV.

    I've heard of Avira 9 Personal and Avira 9 Premium.
    But Avira Personal Edition... Premium o_O
