Install Sandboxie with Nod and you wont need SAS and you will be close to impenetrable.

 

Thank you very much for your advice. I heard from others that running OS in ram is also a possible way to avoid infection of virus, is it true?

 

Doing a little bit of changing n' rearranging.
Found out what can happen when you stuff ten pound's of sh*t in a five pound bag.
More will change for the better.
Still keeping the layered approach but gonna be a bit more careful/selective.
All still in the sig.

I run only on Admin authority with no problems.

 

Thanks for the tip. Id prefer to keep SAS Pro though just in case lol. I havent actually used Sandboxie yet lol.

New one coming.............BitDefender10

NOD32 is perfectly fine as-is, trying BitDefender again is something i need to examine once more because at one point it was quite a reliable AV. If not, NOD32 will continue to remain at duty, On-Demand Only.

Reason for BitDefender10 is i want to see if any distress arises from it's resident guard protections like i've experienced in the past. It has been one of my favorites i had hoped to place in the line-up.

Update results later.

 

Router: OpenWRT/X-WRT
FW: Kerio, Comodo 3.0 Beta, Core Force, ...
AV: Avira Antivir Classic, AVAST (on demand)
AS: Spybot S&D 1.4

HIPS: Winpooch
IPS: Snort (BleedingEdge/Oinkmaster)

Recenty I have changed complete security setup.

I'm thinking of replacing Windows Defender with a better AS, but trying to find one that truly works with Vista (not just "compatible") is an interesting hunt

 

For now, my updated list is listed in my sig. Major change is I dropped RollbackRX after finding out some serious bugs leading to hard drive disaster. Testing out Pro Security 1.40 beta 2.
