I think i know the perfect package for you. Zonealarm AV + FW. Zonealarm is a well renowned Firewall (w/o HIPS) which uses kaspersky AV engine. So that likes having Kaspersky AV + one of the best Firewall out there free of cost. That will be like having KIS with a makeover and without the Virtual keyboard .

Oh and do update your system configuration here >>>> Configuration Wizard so we can assist you better

Thanks for suggestion.

Ya I know Zonealarm firewall but no news about AV...
Have you ever tried that ? I mean do you really know how it perform in detection rate, malware removal... ?
At the moment I'm running ESS 6 because I already tried ages ago NOD 32 and I know it works fine. Problem is I'm not so sure about firewall..
However just for "checking" I think I could give a try to ZIS or ZES .
Sadly Virtual Keyboard is not the only one missing compared to KIS, but a lot of features (Stop & Resume scanning, SafeMoney, re-scanning quarantined items at every update, vulnerability scan, rescue CD..)
BTW I have no problem in spending money for security if I can get an effective high level protection, so even if you have to suggest some shareware software no problem - though I know that is possible to get low\medium level protection with shareware software as well...-

I'll post my config as soon as possible thanks

Zonealarm uses "Kaspersky" Antivirus Engine so detection rate malware removal,etc will be on par with Kaspersky Antivirus(KAV) or Kasperky Internet Security (KIS). Yes i have tried it and it is pretty good with all the goodies like Application Control, Two Way Firewall, OS protection,etc. As for te virtual keyboard it's not really an issue you can a virtual keyboard here Virtual Keyboard."SafeMoney" i think is from Bitdefender so i don't think it availaible in Kaspersky as well. Rescue Disc you can make a image snapshot of your system using a lot of other programs which are both free and paid, though McLovin will give you hints on those it's his department . With Zonealarm itself your system will be safe w/o any issue i can tell you that much, the only thing Zonealarm is bad is it's heavy like kaspersky so i believe if you ran Kaspersky w.o much of an issue ZA will work just fine.

Cheers

Ya I'm thinking about give a try to ZIS (zone alarm internet security) but not sure which Kaspersky engine is used...Is it a latest one - 12 or 13 - or an old one ?
Virtual keyoard is not really an issue as well as rescue CD.
Please note SafeMoney is from KIS 2013 - and now from Kaspersky PURE 3.0 as well (Win8 compatible). With Bitdefender you got Safego.
However I'm also seriously thinking about running NOD 32 and ZA firewall or Comodo firewall

Someone explain "PARANOID MODE" on BIS's firewall settings. Is it a HIPS, BB, or just and overzealous firewall setting?

I think zone alarm uses an older kaspersky engine, version 8 I think.

Ah thanks for clearing that confusion, though i never saw any safemoney on KIS. Well you can run Nod 32 with both, but if you do run it with Comodo be sure to disable HIPS on ESET or it might cause some BSOD's.

Here's the brief information.

In Paranoid mode, the firewall does not create and does not remember the actions for those processes that want to connect to the internet.

The Paranoid mode is a special mode. It is practically the module of opposite module of the Auto Pilot.
