    Ok, Thank you...It doesn't seem like I am adding too much does it? If I were to use my current setup, but adding EXE Radar Pro?

    IF I assume correctly you have the Defense of comodo hips active, I really dont see the need of Anti excutable but its up to you.

    I understand that Comodo HIPS plays the role of the Anti-Executable. The reason why I do want to use it, is to have a secondary option in case Comodo does miss something. I like the idea of NoVirusThanks, because it prompts you for every single file process, as Comodo does not. I do know that I can go Paranoid mode in Comodo, but I feel it would be way more aggressive than EXE Radar Pro. EXE Radar Pro is in between agressive, but letting thing's through if needed. Plus I wouldn't mind using EXE Radar Pro to password protect such thing's as: Regedit, Cmd, Taskmgr, Etc.

    Radeon,
    The only way you're going to find something that you like, is to try it out a few days. This will give you time to find issues with other software or little quirks. Give each setup a try. You really can't go wrong with any of them. Just a matter of what you think you need for protection.

    That is what I have been doing, but it still doesn't hurt for community opinion.

    Can't test it yet. My wifi connection stinks where I am. I'm waiting for a better broadband connection. A lot easier to download malware.

    Nothing wrong with hearing opinions on your setup. I mean I learned about some software just asking people about their setups.


    Oh ok cool. Let us know how testing goes.

    Exactly, If I never joined Wilder's, I probably wouldn't have used Sandboxie or Shadow Defender.

    Before finding Wilder Security Forums I thought my only choices on computer security was Symantec (Norton) :gack: or McAfee. :eek:

    I know this may seem weird, but I kind of miss Windows 3.1, and where Norton Systemworks was the "In" Thing for security and Utilities. HaHaHa, Oh man...that also reminds me of when I thought Netscape Navigator was the most secure browser.

    Who remembers connecting through the Internet using Hyper Terminal?

    And when Free Internet Service Providers were the big thing. Freei, Juno, Netzero to name a few.

    I used all the software you & radeon mentioned. BlackIce was nice but it screwed up my pc a few times back then lol. Hahaha Juno and Netzero, use both of those. I remember using Windows 3.1, messed up it plenty times, getting locked out of windows at the dos prompt and was calling support to help :D
