Expired (GiveawayClub) SpyShelter Anti Keylogger Firewall (6 months license)

Yeah, I could do that, and probably will. But the main reasons I asked is because of the "System Protection" and "Application Execution Control" parts of SpyShelter Firewall. But I guess I could try it out, I do not believe that it would destroy my desktop.

if you are concerned, you can email spyshelter (I pasted their address in a previous post) and ask them directly if there are any known conflicts. But I don't think there will be. Because SpS is made to be a companion software. It usually only conflicts with the real heavies: Bitdefender and Kaspersky, but there are workarounds even for that.

Okay, I will do that, thank you shmu26.

Well, I was told by the SpyShelter Helpdesk that I could use it combined with Avast. When I tried to install SpyShelter Firewall I found ou that I hat to temporarily disable the Avast shields, but that was okay for me. After having installed it and having restarted my PC I also excluded SpyShelter Firewall in Avast ... just to be sure nothing will interfere with one another.

unfortunately, SpS is not as effective as it should be on modern x64 systems.
This issue is discussed at length in this thread:

Well, I will not deny I fully understand what is discussed in that thread, but let's hope that they will do something about it. But I also have Avast and CryptoPrevent installed, so should the worst happen then hopefully those three together will prevent it. ( I know nothing is 100% secure. )

it is always smart to have a good backup of all your important files, or even better, a system image file.
where to keep it?
anywhere that is not attached or networked to your computer.
because in case of ransomware attack, all reachable storage devices all vulnerable to encryption, leaving the victim without backups.
