if you're paranoid Ganda Then I'm Extra paranoid. I just dont think you can be to careful anymore

[ganda]

i wanna add "threat fire" to my army , but i'm afraid too many realtime protection will slow down my system even more. or should i replace one of them? what would that be? V-engine perhaps? or maybe ST? since i already have CBO & Avira?

[Goose18]

i'm trying Threat Fire right now! and it seems pretty good so far

[ganda]

to be or not to be 
i'm confused 
hey, how about this : i'll disable spyware terminator's realtime shield since i already have CBO realtime guard. so i can use threatfire. sounds good?
this is a paranoid(er)  discussion

[Goose18]

Well so far Threat fire isnt anything great. The Paid version looks alot better but not so much with the free one... i think i'll just remove it

Im paranoid too!  Dont disable spyware terminator for threat fire.  Threat fire is MEANT to run along existing software.  So ST should get a long fine.  On my laptop i dont notice a slowdown so it should be fine.

Ive come to realize that my software (other then firewall) are useless (the fact they dont block anything because i dont run into anything)  So its not as dangerous as we paranoids think.  But when i DO RARELY run into something, thank god i have protection.

Threatfire is now a product of pctools.

PCTools, whilst being a well-known company, is not among my trusted companies anymore.

their AS has become very intrusive, their firewall is a laugh.

Threatfire was better under it's old regime, and version 1 was better than version 2.

Just a thought...well...

I will not use SAS nor Threatfire again.

But it's your decision, in the end...

lots of paranoid ppl here
thx for the suggestion to you all,
i realized that ST's HIPS need the realtime guard to be activated, so i won't disable it.
i tried threatfire yesterday, and it made the "shut down" proccess a lil bit slower.
but from all the security softwares i have, i think the most resource hungry is AV, i feel my computer is very fast after uninstalling CAVS & before installing avira. well,a sacrifice for security.

spyware doctor is a resource hog, but i've heard it's one of the best AS

Hi Ganda, yours truly, but I don't trust PCTools (known for their Doctor...)

If combining your proggies with thought, you'll not ever need Spyware Doctor.
Better to stay clean from that company. Just a thought.

I've been testing SD for years, again and again, and it's detection was so-so, whilst getting really many FPs,  you could as well try "Malware Destroyer" by emco.is

I promise Malware Destroyer will at least find ONE bad file or entry on your PC. You can even allow the prog to get rid of that malware. No problem.

Same with Spyware Doctor.

All you need is a good firewall, a good hips, a good AS shield...., a reliable at scanner...

and some other goodies.

Keeping Spyware Doctor will not make your machine more secure.

But....enough...I don't want to bash a company here.

Do what thou wilt.

and where can we get it?
i doubt it will find a bad file/entry on my super holy clean PC . yesterday i tried PREV-X CSI free to  scan my system, and it didn't find anything bad.

Why wont you use SAS anymore? i use it and i do think it is a rather good AS scanner.

yeah, SuperAntiSpyware right? i use it on one of my computers. i think SAS have a good reputation for detecting/repairing infection that other AS missed.

I think spy sweeper (and webroot in general) is a superior company to pc tools.

Back on the subject of GData.

It performs well because it is a Multi-Scanning Engine Antivirus. It uses I think 2 antivirus scanners at once. I think one of them might have been Bit Defender and the other one something else.

I'm sticking with Avira Antivir PE Premium though it could do with a serious improvement of it's Mail Guard. It's ranked 2nd in recent tests!

It used to a combination of kaspersky & bitdefender now Kaspersky & Avast. It is indeed the Ultimate Antivirus because two antivirus is better than one
