    Yes it covers a lot of ground so to speak and packs a lot of punch in protecting.

    Hmmm Thought I had installed the standard edition. I don't have that AEEngine.exe though. I have the faronicscoreservice.exe. Anyone have a link to the standard version. I think I might have installed something different. :{

    Ok I totally installed the wrong thing. Funny I got the same download link from faronics. I installed faronics core. plus a whole bunch of SQL server 2008 stuff. I was wondering why it was taking so long to install. DUh. That's what you get for stepping away and brewing some coffee.

    Yeah. I installed the right version this time. It seems to be hanging when starting firefox sandboxed. It also took forevvverrr to set up the white list. I uninstalled it for the moment. I'll try using it again when I'm not so tired.

    Finally got around to loading up Keriver 1-Click Restore Free. I've been a long-time Macrium Reflect fan, but this seems pretty good. And since you all are liking Faronics Anti-Executable, I'm trying that alongside Sandboxie, seems like it would be a good match. Machine is fast fast fast.

    Sorry, have to take back my smoothie. Had a major problem after trying to return FAE from Maintenance mode and couldn't boot the system. Luckily I'd just installed Keriver 1-Click yesterday and had a fresh image to install. Back to Mamutu.

    Ok, Ok....I finally made up my mind after trying out three different security configurations.

    So here is my final decision:

    Real-Time Protection:
    Comodo Internet Security (Antivirus, Defense +, Firewall Combo)
    Sandboxie

    On-Demand Protection:
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware FREE
    Emsisoft Anti-Malware FREE
    Cobian Backup (Gravity)

    I decided to give Firefox 12 for a spin, even though Maxthon is my default at the moment....Here is the protection I use in Firefox:

    Referrer disabled
    Geolocation disabled
    Do Not Track (Build-In option selected)
    PrivacyChoice TrackerBlock
    BetterPrivacy
    Remove Cookies for Site
    AdBlock Lite
    WOT (Web Of Trust)
    Clear History when firefox closes (Selected)

    My wireless router is also configured to maximum hardware firewall settings.

    And out of all the backup software I tested, I decided to give Cobian Backup (Gravity) a go...It's quite nice.

    I tested this out in my virtual machine, and nothing slipped through it. Since I am satisfied with it's results....This configuration will be going on all my computers.

    My mind is at ease....Finally :D
