Yep, here is my setup. I know you guys wont like it but, what to change? I tried Comodo but i didnt really like it. I could handle the pop-ups very easily.. I choose medium in security risk becuase my protection might not be so good. But otherwise it would have been low, i only visit trusted websites. I dont use cracks/keygens, and IF i would, i would be using sandboxie for it.

(For those that doesnt know, im RMJR.)

Since you don't have an on demand scanner

You can add malwarebytes and hitman pro

Then in DNS you can add one in Norton,Clearcloud or Comodo.

First of all, switch from IE to firefox or chrome. IE will always be the most targeted browser, no matter what security features Microsoft adds to it. I would recommend sandboxie.

Firefox 4 will be released on march 22 according to the news, In the case if you use 3.6.15 then 4 is officially released on that day then just update and apply so it will be in firefox 4.

I have choose that i will go with firefox, i have heard that RC1 will become the final release? (22nd of March)
I would download the RC, right for it to auto-update? Because the stable version seems to be updated kinda slow.. I saw on their "wiki" page.

The RC seems pretty stable and I am sure you'll be able to update to the final version once it is out. From your posts I understand that you don't want to use HIPS and a firewall. Is that true?

Additional browser protection:
WOT (Free) - link
To help you avoid malicious sites you can use Web of Trust (WOT) a website rating browser plugin. After you add it to your browser make sure you only visit websites rated "Green" by WOT

And like you can not rely solely on MSE to protect you..... MSE it's a pretty basic antivirus...so it will only give you 80% protection rate in the real world...

I have choose to go with CIS, i installed it but i forgot to disable UAC. Did i screw something up? I think Chiron had a guide that it said that you should disable it BEFORE installation.

Nice to see you again, EMB117!
I presume that you are talking about this guide.
Is this it?

in my opinion, your settings enough, BUT, you do not use it MBAM or other .. and also, just use the AV (MSE) is not optimal to protect your computer against viruses, use Malwarebytes and hitman pro for on-demand scanner and Avast antivirus in my opinion far better than the MSE:)
so, avast free as real time online protection and firewalls wear armor if you do not want complicated or confused when using Comodo Firewall, MBAM and hitman as on-fever scan once every week (my opinion)

You don't have to disable UAC. It is just his preference. Actually if you are not bothered by UAC pop-ups I recommend you leave it as it is by default.

The only think im alittle worried about is the lag. I tried CIS a couple of weeks ago but cmdagent.exe went up to 100% in cpu usage, what is causing that? CIS is so great, was that a one time happening or will/could it happen again?
