I'm checking out a trial of SpyShelter Premium. So far running along smoothly with ESET Internet Security. I'm contemplating whether to buy the full version or not. Your opinions would be extremely welcome and helpful.
How many of you use SpyShelter Premium? Is it good nowadays?

Great app for me and I always try to show that execept of listed and obvious features it can offer much more if we only want to know it better. SpyShelter is installed as FW version on my two mashines (Vista and Win8.1) and as Premium on one with XP (with Kerio FW together) and I don't want to change such security combos

If you know how to use it it's top notch... their GUI might need some love though lol
Best command-line parser, best HIPS and antilogger at the moment, but ultimate bad support...
If you never depend on support, go for it.

GUI is enough to understand funtions and features Maybe not "candy" but rather "slize of breat"

I spent some time testing the SpyShelter firewall if it looked like a great product with an excellent HIPS system, a bit weird to set up but in the end I think I learned something.

I've been using SpyShelter Premium for many years along with my antivirus, it's just fantastic!

I use SpyShelter Premium sometimes. It is very light, and is probably the best protection available against the worst security risk for home users, and that is theft of login credentials. (Some people are frantic about ransomware, but all you need is backups, and ransomware is just an annoyance. Besides that, ransomware is on the decline.)
However, Application Execution Control is only available in the firewall version.
I am not sure what @Umbra meant by command-line parsing, because I am not aware of such a feature.

@shmu26 command-line parsing is the technical term of the mechanism behind event tab. (process spawning, etc...)

Sad but true. The support can be terrible and even infuriating at times.
As @Lockdown mentioned, Spyshelter does not provide automated protection, nor does it tell you what actions are recommended. It just tells you what's happening, and you are responsible for all decisions. Spyshelter tells you who is knocking at the door, and what he wants to do, but it's up to you whether to let him or not.

Thank you everyone. You all helped me out. Actually I have a gift card worth $60 that I can spend online. Currently thinking of using the money to buy SpyShelter and GlassWire. What are your thoughts on GlassWire? My Security Config is right here

The typical behavior of the best hips and firewalls produced in the golden age of Hips. I loved them! I really miss some "old" hips

GlassWire is a beautiful and elegant way to know what's connecting to the internet. But it's heavy on the system (last I tried it), and it might drive you crazy trying to understand what is this process, to where is it connecting, and why.
If you are firewall freak, then it is good.

I am not sure if Spyshelter and ESET Internet Security is a good idea, because that's two HIPS, which is a potential source of conflict. Ask @ichito if that's a good combo.

I have uninstalled ESET. So far I have GlassWire, AppGuard and SpyShelter. Laptop's running smoothly with no hiccups at all. Now it's time to learn about these 3 products and configure them according to my needs. I set Chrome to Run as Restricted in SpyShelter.
I don't see the need of Appguard with Spyshelter.

Appguard 5 and 6 is guarding Chrome by default, so I don't know if you are gaining anything from SpyShelter restriction. Maybe @Lockdown knows, he knows both of these apps inside and out.
In any case, Umbra's comment is correct, if you configure AppGuard correctly.

Just mulling it over, I think that if I would combo Appguard and Spyshelter, I would use Spyshelter firewall, so I could control certain executions that I might allow to run in guarded mode in Appguard, such as cmd and rundll32.

One of my friends installed his copy of AppGuard 4 on my laptop. He told me that it's lifetime license and so I have kept it since then. Besides I really love the protection that AppGuard and SpyShelter both offer. Sure they are a bit hard to configure for a typical home user but since I have started using them, I found them both to be much superior to any Internet Security Suite and they also provide me with so many configurations.

I have AppGuard version 4 so I guess that doesn't protect Chrome. It's upto SpyShelter then to protect Chrome.
