    That's my problem. At home I don't need AV/realtime protection for my pcs. When I'm mobile with my laptop though, people keep wanting to seemingly randomly insert their flash drives into my laptop to transfer files and/or execute them. Need realtime AV protection for that just to protect me from their bad habits.

    OK. So, I should change Ad-aware to what?
    What's your advice?

    I think he was saying simply uninstall it and not to change it to something else. Re-read his post.

    My security setup now is:

    Comp-1:
    Windows 7
    SUA
    UAC at max
    hardware DEP on
    SRP default deny
    CIS 5.5
    Sandboxie Free for browsers (Automatically delete, Drop Rights)
    HitmanPro
    Comodo Time Machine 2.9 beta (very slow comparative to CTM 2.8 )
    Norton DNS, Comodo DNS

    Comp-2: (rather weaker than comp-1)
    Windows XP
    Administrator account
    Kaspersky (all sheilds are off - only on-demand scans)
    DefenseWall PF (IMHO that's stronger then Kaspersky's and COMODO Defense+ protections)
    Sandboxie free for browsers (Automatically delete, Drop Rights, I like how Sandboxie deletes sandbox)
    Comodo Time Machine 2.8

    Comp-3:
    CIS 5.3 (quarterly updates and no problems)

    One interesting fact: DefenseWall PF makes my comp-1 work more slow with MS Office, starting browsers and some progs and finally killed my internet (that's why I ditched it) only by one reason - I have HP printer on my comp-1 and Canon printer on comp-2. HP driver is somehow incorrect.

    Almost a week running EAM 6.0. Very satisfied with it, with the only exception - CPU at 100% for certain periods when scanning especially the windows folder (.dll libraries mostly). Very smoothly co-running with Sandboxie.

    Back to an Admin account after trying a Standard account for a while. To compensate, I now have PrevxSOL and Mamutu running.
