Iām using 2.4, though I tried the newest 3.0 beta today. Uninstalled, because the Defense+ didnāt work well on my system.
I donāt consider my choice as silly (or likewise) because Iām extremely careful. Hardly visit any websites except for my well known bookmarks (which I do with Firefox w. NoScript - sorry Soya, Iāve given up Opera now, because of paranoia). Never use cracks, warez or stuff like that. Also, I hardly receive unknown files.
If any malware by any chance would enter my system, it would not be able to access the internet because CPF 2.4 blocks it. The other kind of threat would be a complete destruction of my system, but thatās no big deal because I make double backups, as soon as Iāve changed any file on my system.
For several weeks now, Iāve used only CPF and BOClean. BOClean has not caught anything. Today, when I installed Avira for scanning - not monitoring - I made a complete scan and nothing was found.
Iām not into any virtualization, the setup Iām describing is for my one and only machine, which I use for everyday production. The risk of a hard disk crash, and losing all my stuff, would probably be bigger than getting any malware. But again, with those backups, Iām safe.
Still, this is probably not a setup I will continue to use forever. Iām still paranoid, thus Iāll be glad when CAVS 3 arrives, as well as CPF 3. At the moment though, I donāt like CPF 3 because Iāve never got along with its HIPS. Especially not the latest beta, which didnāt remember my rules.
