I was previously using ZoneAlarm Free, AVG Antispyware, Prevx, Spybot SD, Ad-aware 2007, Avast antivirus (free), and SpywareBlaster.
After I went thro’ matousec.com’s leak test review, I wiped my system clean, installed XP anew, and the following software:
Comodo Personal Firewall
Avast antivirus (free)
Spybot SD
SpywareBlaster
Comodo BO Clean
Even though i was able to install AVG antispyware, it wouldn’t launch, because GUARD was hanging, so i had to uninstall it and installed a-squared antispyware instead.
Is Ad-aware 2007 really necessary now ?
I’m quite impressed by Defense+ since it is quite customizable unlike Prevx.
Can Defense+ block newer rootkits ?
One thing i liked in Prevx was it used to notify me whenever an application launched or terminated, with a small transparent pop-up on the right side.
Keep Ad-aware and Spybot as Backups. Spywareblaster, Comodo BO Clean and your AV are fine.
You need to remember Defense+ uses an Advanced HIPS (A-VSMART: virus, spyware, rookit, keylogger, etc protection), So anything trying to access anything is detected by Defense+.
CFP 3.0 is outstanding… Me? I just choose Comodo Memory Firewall 2.0 (Currently in BETA) and CFP 3.0, But I still use SUPERAntispyware Free and Spybot as backups.
