    Shadow Defender has proven time and time again to be a reliable part of my setup and has a permanent spot here until proven otherwise.
    AppGuard is probably not needed with SpyShelter Firewall on board but they co exist just fine with each other plus it adds protection as in nothing new is allowed to execute with out my say so, I just believe a layered security defense is the best defense.

    Personally,I'd trust Shadowdefender over appguard and a firewall any day of the week or month.

    Set Chrome and downloads folder to low integrity with no read/execute up.

    Set SRP to a few areas.

    It's very useful feature and was used always by me both in Free and Premium version. It works very nice and smooth with all apps in RS mode (internet browsers, PIM, pdf-readers, word processors, media players, graphic viewers, etc.) and I think even better than similar feature in SS.
    It's compared to the limited user accounts restrictions but only for choosen apps...more info here

    BTW...only OA Free?...you are brave...didn't you think that "you are driving car with only one hand"? :D

    Online armor used to have an option to run all unknown apps in the 'run safer' mode. I do not know whether this still exists, but this is a very usefull option (when not installing programs that is). I have not used OA for a year or three, so I can't tell where to look for it.

    No AV in real-time on laptop with L'n'S and Mamutu...only BidDefender TL as add-on to Firefox (with AdBlock, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and Ghostery)...and nothing more :) On-demand Wondershare Time Freeze, MBAM, EMK, Runscanner and to system backup/restore 1-Click Keriver.
    On the second system in home (W7 32-bit) there are MSE and SpyShelter FW in real-time...on-demand and backup - as above except virtualisation app.
    In laptop I'm using - Symantec EP 11 + Shadow Defender + SpyShelter Premium...on-demand MBAM, EMK, Runscanner.
    That's all :)
