[Guest]

I'll try some of those programs out. I was wondering does security apps causes my online games to lag?

[Josh123]

but Avast also has Avast 5 coming out this summer which will be a MAJOR improvement to the already great 4.8 

Do you have evidence for this?

Josh.

LOL. Please ignore the salivating masses. They are, as Douglas Adams so wisely said, "Mostly harmless".

My laptop is like a week old now and I have these programs installed:

CPF3
Spyware Doctor 5.5
Comodo BOClean 4.25
Windows Defender
Nod 32 3.0

I'm using Windows Vista Home 32bit... I would like to hear about your opinions with those programs and what other security stuff can you recommend?
Whats a good root-kit scanner for vista?

You can find a comprehensive list of anti-rootkit tools here:

Here at the CIA they say im not allowed to say. 


But no, i do not have any proof besides it looking like in Avast 5 they will have heuristics which would mean better detection rates.....

Normally ... they shouldn't. Only bad installations, false configurations, ...

But as I see your security in your previous posts, I think only spyware doctor will slow it down a bit  .

I've got AVAST 4.8 free, CBOClean, ST , Win Patrol and, of course, CFP and CMF.
Am i paranoid?

[eXPerience]

Well ....  This is what is called ... the beginning of paranoid  .

No really, this is a very very very secure (but slowing down) setup.

Now that's an understatement

Spyware Doctor 5.5 has Rootkit scanning and detection capabilities. Go to "OnGuard" and enable "Process Guard ", go to "Settings" and then "Scan Settings" and check mark "Scan for rootkit hidden files" I personally like and have no complaints with SD 5.5.   Also running CFP+D, Verification Engine, and the latest AVIRA AntiVir Premium which I took advantage of the 6 month lic. I dumped BoClean due to the problems I encountered and in it's place I'm running ThreatFire.

LOL   Good Security!!!!   IMO, Get rid of ST & WinPatrol

I'm fairly sure that Defence+ covers everything that Winpatrol does so there's no need for both .

There's a new version of Comodo BoClean out. It came out Yesterday. Version 4.26.

Well, i read your posts, i have been thinking, and yes, you are right. I uninstalled ST(because are a runing process) and Win patrol was deleted of start up.
Thanks boys.
