    I always have liked OA. And I like the small GUI changes I see so far in 5.0.
    This will be my first time with Vipre and OA together.
    When Vipre 5.0 is released later this year, I'll probably go back to their Premium suite on both computers. :)

    Yeah the new OA is running very well and it has loads less I/O activity. It's a hard choice for me as Avira gets along so well with OA as does Vipre. The key thing keeping me with Avira is the 18 months I have left on the license and the new version which should be out relatively soon. They are prepping for Beta testing right now.

    Prevx runs excellent with AppGuard!

    The only possible issue that might exist is that SafeOnline is sometimes prevent to write to browser memory. However, in the keylogger-tests I've run, Prevx has protected me anyway. Note that those were just keylogger simulators and not real malware. The 'possible' issue which probably isn't an issue has been reported to Blue Ridge Networks and they're looking into it!

    'Sandboxes' like the one in D+ is a nuisance for me. More often than not I want the applications to run in a _real_ environment. That's why I prefer AppGuard as it allows programs to run but with very limited power to compromise your system anyway. That, and that AppGuard literally demands and system resources at all (D+ is very light as well but not nearly as light). I like the cloud-technology Comodo is using for their 'sandbox' though.

    Yes.
    Zemana is more then just an anti-logger, but as with anything nothing is 100% guaranteed.
    Which is where KeyScrambler compliments Zemana, they play well together and if something slips by Zemana then hopefully KeyScrambler will save the day.
    Both are very light and both are bought and paid for, so why not.

    may try Online Armor 5:thumb:

    New feature: File & Registry Shield
    Online Armor 5.0 now also protects selected files, folders and registry keys from being changed. A rule system based on trust-level settings exactly defines the programs that have full access, partial access or no access to the protected areas. This provides special protection to the user against ransomware attacks, where important documents are encrypted and ransom money is demanded for the encryption key.
