    I still havent decided if I will use Mamutu or ThreatFire. But going with ThreatFire for now.

    Im trying to avoid LUA. Would a policy based DefenseWall or Malware Defender be a good way to go?

    PrevX CSI 3.0= Cloud Malware Database detection. (Also guarantees 100% malware removal on its paid users)

    Mamutu = full HIPS with community database which helps by giving you percentage data on how people answer prompts.

    Threatfire = Behavior blocker with community database for contributing for its malware defs. and automated response on alerts.

    PrevX Safeonline free for facebook users. = Protects browser from keyloggers,isolate browser from other processes,screen grabbing and more it also contains cloud based malware (detection only) because of the built-in evaluation version of PrevX CSI

    Threatfire isn't bad. You just have to make sure that you set the level to at least 4. I had it set to 5 and it only popped up every once and a while.

    Use threatfire on its own, with hitman pro to scan startup. a-squared free for on-demand scans. Or threatfire and panda cloud.

    Keep it lean, great program. Layer it upon a few heavier layers, sure, it will suck. People have to realise it's not some simple 'autorun manager', it's monitoring system-wide changes.

    Currently using:

    ThreatFire
    Hitman Pro
    a-squared free (to scan downloads)
    WOT in firefox (blocks many malicious sites)
    PeerBlock with advertising and spyware blocklists (effective against many malicious sites - blocks a lot of advertising when using IE, Opera, FF, or any browser).

    Threatfire is very good, I am waiting to see what going on at PC Tools before I try it again though.

    Not far from my setup. Looks good to me, but why Sandboxie AND Shadow Defender? Do you run in Shadow Mode all the time?

    I think it is fine to run both, you do not need to choose between one or the other.
