Reverted to:
  • Adguard
  • AppGuard
  • HitmanPro.Alert
  • NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro
  • Sandboxie
  • Windows Firewall Control
At this time, this is the best that can be accomplished in terms of ease-of-use, resource usage, compatibility, reliability, flexibility, protection and cost.

Good security setup for sure, but why use Exe Radar Pro along with AppGuard? IMO AppGuard is more than enough.

Configure, monitor and control vulnerable processes: Vulnerable Processes

AND

Should anything bypass AppGuard - or more likely user makes a mistake in using AppGuard - then NVT ERP is a second layer of detection and blocking newly introduced\1st-time process execution.

AppGuard + NVT ERP = double lock-down

In reality, AppGuard + Sandboxie is sufficient for typical use. That config is quite good - @Umbra who has tested extensively can verify.

I agree with your setup minus Adguard until they push 2.1 beta version that solves the privacy issues.

Nah doubt that is easy to happen. I had to use the browser extension as Adguard Assistant refused to appear and in my brain it registered that all have to do that. That's why i made the reply i did.
Tbh i didn't try the newer version of adguard so maybe they fixed my issue. Need to test one of this days because license is there being wasted.

Adguard desktop version is much better than plug-in. It is worth a spin... easy, clean uninstall if you do not like.

Ok i made the move and the assistant appear this time. Guess license will not go to waste. Being an idiot helped me get off my ass and install the software so not so bad. I am out for now, i hijacked your topic enough. :S

Why use Spyshelter FW instead of basic windows FW? You can also use windows FW control, you already are an expert so what goes in/out can be seen in notification panel.
