[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 864658, member: 56785"] I used Hard_Config (recomended settings) with Bitdefender Internet Security for a while in my own PC. The only drawback was the constant policies avoiding me to run .exe every time i forgot about it (basically all the time). I didn't notice any other conflict... I was so confident that it can be used without disturbing, that i enabled Hard_config (with the allow *.EXE option enabled) along with Kaspersky free in my parents PC. They already used it for 2 months without calling after midnight wanting to kill me, so i think it's good so far. Lately i moved on to Kaspersky Internet Security with TAM enabled. So i'm not currently using Hard_Config. I didn't have a lot of trouble till now too. But TAM is more friendly if you keep installing signed apps. IMHO, a good free AV (bitdefender or kaspersky) + own caution is enough if you are the average user. But if you are like most here, and like to test somethings - not always 100% safe - from time to time, maybe hardening is a good idea [/QUOTE]
