my new config 12.01.2019

- removed AVG free

+ added OSArmor
+ added Comodo Cloud Antivirus with tweaks by @BoraMurdar


Hi there, please be aware that Moonhorse suggested NVT SysHardener, not OSArmor
Harden Windows Settings with SysHardener | NoVirusThanks
SysHardener is a set-and-forget app that changes some settings to harden Windows (add blocking rules to Windows firewall, disable some risky features, easily change some parameters).
OSArmor is a real-time behavior blocker, but CCAV will react first, so OSArmor can be useful only if CCAV (or the user) fails

my test with CAV is over :emoji_cold_sweat: the av crashs during playing games.
I have to sleep over it one night to choose my next av :confused:
Have you tried to enable "gaming mode" while playing?
Plus, better to add to the exclusions (for each module, AV, HIPS, Containment) the folder where you have the game

I have a suggestion maybe you could try Immunet or NANO Antivirus if you want to try a new light AV for real-time protection. Both of them have great signatures and are really light.

Also maybe you could add an additional On-demand scanner such as Zemana which is really good.

I have some links here.

yes the CAV was in "silent mode"..i just have done some game folder exclusions for scanning.

I'd already heard of Immunet und would try it. Not the best protection but one of the lightest av's

Yes, I agree. Cisco has bought them out about a year ago, and since that I have heard they have improved stability and ransomware protection too.

My personal config I am using now is NANO Antivirus and Zemana.
