Thanks for give your absolutely positive thoughts my current security setup. But I have been thinking maybe little change or add 1 more "thing" in real time protection...just because im curious testing different kind of configuration.

Maybe VS? or something... But what I have been watching around the internet talking about VS current version, there are many , of course opinion for that. But maybe I give it a shot or any suggest is absolutely warm welcome! :d

VS is really good, and simple to use. I recommend it.

KIS is better in all categories, except as a second opinion scanner, than Zemana at least for now. They need some time to fix the problem I demonstrated

voodooshield is great for your setup but if KIS is properly tweaked, you don't need VS or anything else

Well i give you guys & girl link the site if someone is interesting testing oldschool firewall with cheap price, there it was/is => ZoneAlarm Free Firewall - Personal Computer Firewall Software and when press the download button popup window says HEY DUDE! Look at that price, hope it work with you also, no that i expecting much but that is so back to the root firewall :d .
