What is your security setup these days?

Sandboxie would probably be ok because it does not dig as deep into the system as BZ or SS.

nevertheless, i dont really see the need to use both Bufferzone and Sandboxie.
they do a similar job.
if those things do the job they are supposed to do 1 of them should be enough.

but thats me.

 

Maybe i was misunderstood,i was talking about only to add Sandboxie to SS and PFW.Bufferzone is already gone.
Thank you for your advices.

 

OA++ already has an on-execution AV scanner. Is additional real time AV necessary?

 

no my mistake. I didnt realize it was Plus,

Good Setup

 

my opinion is that you should remove spyshelter and install bufferzone. and with a good firewall you really are good to go...from time to time a scan with hitman pro should do the job...

 

Yeah i know,good advice but...once you got used to HIPS..and i'm a HIPS junky and only PFW doesn't fulfill my needs!
Multumesc

 

You can get therapy for that.

 

another hips junky like mua
