    Looks good. You might want to add a Free firewall that adds outbound control and HIPS. Online armor, Outpost, Private and PCtools all have great free firewalls that also have HIPS component.

    PC Tools Firewall Plus gone and in comes ESET Smart Security instead of just NOD32. Let's see how it does.

    Why? SafeOnline Free covers alot more than you think it does.
    I'd remove Immunet instead.

    dont forget to add MBRGuard.
    and disable Prevx realtime Master Boot Record scanning.

    Changed my setup once again. Really wanted to get some form of HIPS as I was not happy with what some of the test apps I downloaded could do to my system without me knowing it.

    Currently:

    Real Time:

    ESET Nod32
    Keyscrambler Premium
    Malwarebytes Pro

    Added: Outpost Firewall Pro

    On Demand:

    Shadow Defender

    Edit: I must say though so far, there seems to be a bit of a drag on the system with Outpost running. Could simply be because it is a new install and it is creating all it's rules, etc. so I will give it some time.

    Something is going on with Prevx in my security setup.. Its CPU process prevx.exe is running 5-10 even in idle.. could it be conflicting with Avast! 5 and Immunet Protect Free? hmm

    Update:
    It seems to lower to 1-2 CPU process after running a scan..
