I'm normally using KSC but today I installed voodooshield free, and I liked this product. I think I may select a ligther combo now.


The most important thing is the product should be free of any serious exploit. I wouldn't want to let to malware run something at a kernel level.

I'd suggest Immunet Immunet AntiVirus
Why?
First, it's very light (if you set it correctly).
Second, Cisco is not on VirusTotal, so it will give you a plus over Voodoo Shield
Third, it includes a dedicated anti-exploit module and in-memory process protection, neither of which VoodooShield protects against.

KSC sounds like a great option, but I can't say. Never have taken the leap into Kaspersky.

Using F-C with the hardening tweaks. The web filtering is something I wouldn't want to be without anymore. For me, that's enough, but signature-wise, it's amazing too. It's a matched pair for Comodo firewall. This combination for home (without the F-C hardware) is probably about as close to the actual FortiClient endpoint system as is possible. The endpoint system uses the network level hardware firewall and sandbox.

KSC will give you the rollback protection and I believe it has good web filtering too. I can see why that would be a great choice with VoodooShield.

Good point to add with @imuade @Nestor Immunet suggestions.
long away from this antivirus. Is useless. I tested immunet with one virus one week old from malcode database the 1 exe. Detected from immunet, write alert virus carantined but the pc infected. Every 10 seconds alert from immunet the 1exe try to conect to internet. Hitman pro found the infection and my laptop cleaned. I tested the same virus with Avast , Avira free, 360TS, Panda free and bloked from all. Another one test with immunet with the same virus and other two old virus again infected.

Good to know because I had no prior experience with Immunet.

Strange, Cisco Talos recognizes it as malicious since Feb. 27th

Ah ok sorry, I missed that part.
Did you check if 1.exe was active in memory (for example by sysinternals) ?

EDIT
Was "Blocking mode" enabled or disabled?

Ok thanks for the answer. Then it's indeed an issue
Yes it is. Because i execute the virus and immunet give me alert virus detected and quarantined. But the virus run on system. I had see this and before 6 months again. If you search to immunetcommunity you will see comments with the same problem.
