None I see any problems for your configuration, Agnitum full version is another great product especially their HIPS/Firewall feature.

Good Config. ;)

Any specific reason for choosing Outpost?If it is because you ot 6 months license there are also Giveaway running like Kaspersky and Eset.

Can you please share some experience with Outpost.
I have used version 7 which I didn't like most.

Thanks

Yes I chose Outpost because of the 6 months license. Previously I was Microsoft Security Essentials an Windows Firewall.

Kaspersky I will try on version 2014 when is release after some time. ESET I did not like. The HIPS part is a bit confusing.

Outpost does show some pop ups but so far good. I never tried version 7.

Their pop ups are classified according to colot coding which implemented since version 6 maybe. (Outpost)

So understand that green = safe, yellow = cautious, and red = danger.


HIPS for ESET is still primature and tends more whitelisting, since interactive mode alone cannot guaranteed user friendly.

Yes it is correct. They use color codes!

ESET hips interactive mode is too much alerts. on automatic seemed ok, nothing popped up at the time I used it.
