And you can still leave Windows firewall on - http://gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=97701&view=findpost&p=245867 (post #29)

 

New setup.

Added Avira Premium Security Suite to the mix.

So it's: OA Premium
A-Squared V5 Beta Very stable!!
Avira Premium Security Suite

 

thanks i learned alot and i decided that ill not use a resident scanner because its only making the computer slow since i setup hitmanpro to scan each startup plus i have shadow defender in shadow mode enabled.

thanks and i decided that i disable windows firewall to avoid conflicts as what i hear running two antivirus or firewall is not a good idea take note of other known firewall that when installed they disables firewall by default so it might be the same reason what i stated just now.

 

Well, seems like this setup didn't last long.
Avira wasn't being nice with my other programs (OA and A2) had to uninstall it.
My PC was freezing randomly.

 

Noob, walk on the wild side. Try one of the new Panda products. If you like it, send me a PM.

 

LOL, send you a PM for what?

 

LOL, I wonder too why Trjam wants a PM

OA premium
A-squared 5
Geswall pro
Waiting for Defensewall 3. After that I may dump OA and GesWall and just use that.

 

Dumped GesWall.
Trying out defensewall again.
Figured I give it a week or so. Last time it slowed down my internet slightly. Not enough to care but enough that I noticed.

 

gave AppGuard a break untill they get password protection for me it is very important to have it

removed defensewall beta v3 and changed to 2.56 again cause im experiencing random BSOD in v3 but with the 2.56 i never encounter it.

 

Sorry you had problems with v3.00 DW beta. If you know the circumstances please report it to Ilya Rabinovich the program's developer. He asks that you send him the DW log, which you probably no longer have if you uninstalled v3 and went back to v2.56. Glad that the earlier release version is working for you though. Looks like you have a very solid setup.

 

i went back to AppGuard again i missed it too much i guez

 

It looks like you survived a whole hour without it. Sometimes you feel naked on the Internet without your favorite programs.

 

you got a point

 

Well actually i can reproduce BSOD by just installing dw v3. I just dont know maybe there is something happening in my windows 7 that is causing it as you see my security setup i dont think that there might be a conflict in those programs

It seems you only got appguard+win patrol now, so are you able to test it in a real virus sample to test if it's enough to protect against those modern viruses in the wild?

 

i did already but i have to configure more program to be protected and more privacy mode too

 

Realtime: Shadow Defender - Vista Firewall

is it the same protection as sandboxing your browsers using sandboxie?

 

Hard to say what is conflicting. On my setup Outpost Firewall never got along very well with DW 3 or Malware Defender. Sometimes it is almost machine specific, maybe a conflict with another program that is not security related. In my case I removed Outpost and everything is fine (for the moment at least). DW and MD have no problems with Kaspersky AV. Hope you are able to work out and reinstall DW 3.
