I’m running Windows XP Pro SP2,
with
Comodo FP Proactive Defence set at Train with Safe Mode and Network Defence Turned On.
Kaspersky AV 7 with Proactive Defence (Application Activity Analyzer, Application Integrity Control
OFF and Registry Guard Off)
and SpyBot Resident (TeaTimer) running.

Should I keep all the above Kaspersky AV settings ON or should I disable some of them.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You don’t need Spybot. Some time ago it was a good program, but now it’s ■■■■, cos it can’t fight malware at all :slight_smile:

Like Commodus said, disable TeaTimer, it’s an overkill if you’re using CFP (also it takes way too much resources…). Else, you should keep Kaspersky’s Application Activity Analyzer off, as Defense+ heuristic scanning should replace Application Activity Analyzer, and about the Integrity Control, I have no idea what it is. If it does something that Defense+ does, you can keep it disabled :wink:

Spybot only as an on demand scanner is still good. I fixed by cousins pc with Spybot. New version is alot better. i use that along with SAS.

Yeah, Spybot’s on-demand scanner and immunize-function are just fine, but TeaTimer uses around 35 MB RAM! That’s way too much…

I agree, Spybot does sometimes find things that the others don’t. It’s like my first car–a '65 Chevy–it looked and sounded bad. In the winter it worked, and everyone else was asking me for rides around town. Spybot doesn’t take that long to run, so why not run it? Yes, forget the Tea Timer thing.

Oh oh! Deja Vu! Crusin’ in my '65 Chevy O0

You need to disable tea timer as others have said… if you want something thats very very light, but offers only process and file protection, try spyware doctor starter addition, along with spybot for on demand.
