    let me rephrase that my friend. I love SD but if you exclude just one file, any file, you have opened a hole and so yes, you better be ready to have a good AV that can handle it. SDs 64bit has been unstable for me of late.

    trjam exclude only my faborites and my documents :D also defensewall covers that hole(my documents)and both programs are pasword protected so if i saved something in my documents and try to open a file that wants to install and introduce or inject other stuff in system 32 or start up location will be deleted after reboot and it also will be untrusted from defensewall:D

    note:tjam you got that right Nod32 is a good antivirus :D very unique in it's field:)

    I am using the same setup at the moment and really like it. :thumb:

    On the other hand I also like Shadow Defender with OA++ since anything bad saved to an excluded folder would be picked up by OA's HIPS and on execution AV scan. You can also set anything unknown to "Run Safer" in OA.

    Both combinations run very light.

    It's great to have so many good choices!

    I have that combo running right now and I don't notice any slowdown at all. Complete overkill, I know.
