What is your security setup these days?

k is that the panda cloud pro?or panda antivirus?

 

panda cloud

 

@ams963: Why did you remove Easeus? That's an important backup program, and it doesn't run in real-time.

 

@J_L
Oh! I guess you are right. I'm back with Easeus todo backup. Gonna try to install SBIE again to see if it works this time without any problem.

Avast antivirus
Comodo fw/d+
Malwarebytes antimalware(trial period realtime)
Firefox-adblock plus, betterprivacy and bitdefender quickscan
Panda usb vaccine
Easeus todo backup

All are free!

Acer Aspire One netbook.
Win xp sp3 32bit
1GB RAM
1.66GHz
160GB HDD

 

success at last! Installed SBIE and my system's running great.

 

Hi ams963

If u use all avast shield + all comodo firewall feature (including sanbox)
It might cause some conflict with sbie.
U can try to turn off some of the module from both of them.

J_L can gives u the right direction, since your set up is rather similiar,
specialy on the realtime protection.

 

Hahaha J you crack me up
