    Emsisoft is kicking behind in the MRG Flash tests.
    Let us know if you encounter FPs beyond what one would call normal.
    I am often tempted to install Emsisoft AM, especially to run alongside OA.

    VIPRE Premium and Sandboxie are a great team on one of my computers.
    Unfortunately, on some systems, there is a known problem with FW drivers that prevent WorkGroup Computers from seeing each other. But as soon as I removed Premium and went with Standard (just the AV), I was OK with the WorkGroup again. Nick says v5.0 will fix the problem, and I look forward to that.

    tested emsisoftware antimalware but it was bloated in my old computers and also tested mbam pro it was good in my new 8 gigs of ram but in my all systems was very bad it was bloated also vipre was light in my new system but in the other system was bloated and i made my decision as i have 3 computers and not only this one so i decided to run prevx;) cant wait for version 4 i will go hunting for a program that runs like prevx to have a nice combo in all my computers:) wish me luck friends:thumb:

    Yeah, too bad that EAM is so bloated, I found it to be really great solution, behavior blocker is awesome, surf protection, everything ...
    But for some reason it just slows system down pretty much and there is nothing in options that can be done to improve that.
    I had to remove it for that reason only.
    I hope they will improve that in the future, maybe introduce caching of already scanned files or something, but even with file guard turned OFF it's still bloated.

    Dare to comment on how the impact of Security Essentials with the very latest engine is on your pc, especially if you are using the 64-bit version? Since I really like Security Essentials, except it is just too slow and has a too large footprint. I have also got the feeling the 32-bit version performs faster than the 64-bit version.

    On my desktop (Win7 Ultimate x32) : Safe-Admin with leakwall free beta and VM VirtualAps player beta (IE only)

    On my wife's laptop (Win Ultimate x32) : Safe-Admin with a closed beta :D I have ran the closed beta om my desktop for a month now, with no problems so pretty confident about it.

    First level of defense
    a) A well configured router with firewall
    b) Image backups (paragon) and data backups on external off-line hard drives (syncback free)
