    If you are using Windows 7 why are you not using Applocker instead?

    Good to hear that :thumb:
    Imaging software always should be one of the security layer (there are 3):
    1. Prevention
    2. Detection
    3. Cure (image backup software, data backup)

    I find SRP to be more rude, if you understand me :rolleyes:
    I mean, it's like locking down the PC, while applocker is a little bit more loose :D
    Though, i still don't understand applocker fully, while SRP is easy as pie for me :thumb:

    True!!
    Now i'm a believer of good imaging software :D

    Back to ESET Smart Security, my license just arrived. It is by far my favourite program, it is really unobtrusive, really light and fast, and it has never let me down. I trust it for 110%. I have always used just the ESET NOD32 Antivirus, but I decided to upgrade to Smart Security to support the vendor, and who knows what is in the pipeline for version 5. Which I am looking really forward to.
    • Linksys WRT54G2 router
    • Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; using an Administrator account
      • Windows Firewall is disabled
      • Windows Defender is disabled
      • UAC at default level
      • DEP and SEHOP enabled for all processes
      • Internet Explorer 9 Beta with default settings
    • ESET Smart Security

    Avast Internet Security Pro 5.1.889
    Hitman pro
    SAS
    Mbam
    ccleaner
    Keyscrambler Pro
    Chrome 10
    IE9

    As I noticed the web shield in Avast does seem to slow loading of web pages. But other then that its fantastic.

    Planning to add Trusteer Rapport to online banking,e-mail account, shopping, etc...(unsandboxed browser)
    I would prefer Prevx Safeonline, since is lighter, but i had some problems.

    Can someone advice me about a good ad-blocker, IE and\or FF compatible, that:
    - is light,free and efective
    - no need for constant updates
    Really tired of ads!

    Waiting for a x64 bits MBR GUard :)

    Thanks!

    seen some good things about Acronis on here lately so i decided to try it out myself and i do say that i like it and think i will keep using it as my imaging program. The Try and Decide feature seems like a nice one to have on hand as well.

    there's different ones for each browser...ad block plus for FF and one similar for Chrome. I believe there is a list by someone named fanboy for Opera. For IE there's Simple Adblock. There's also the quero toolbar but I don't think it works on 64 bit systems. Other than that, for free, you are looking at some privoxy or something similar. If you want to spend a few buck try out admuncher. Stay away from SuperAdblocker which is abandoned crapware. Kaspersky IS banner blocker does a pretty nice job for what it's intended. And Outpost firewall paid version has some ad blocking ability although nothing as refined as admuncher.
