Yeh, VodooShield must be best security soft discovery of 2016, atleast for me, NVT EXE is too much nagging and outdated, Appguard complicated and pricey, but VoodooShield seems like best meedleway and since its free, you cant bypass itI hope so.I see you're also using VoodooShield, great choice.

I agree, NVT is annoying sometimes, AG being so aggressive and needs more user interaction, but both are great security software. I'm starting to like VoodooShield because it's very easy to use unlike the other two. But AG at the "Locked Down' level is still the best protection I think. No applications are allowed to run from the user space unless they are added to the guarded apps.

VoodooShield is very good it hard for anything to get past it and as you mentioned very easy to use which is a great feature for me.

That post wasn't updated though. I recently added Webroot IS and SecureAPlus (No Offline AV) then removed Avast Free.

freemake comes bundled with loads of adware right? I love avast! the nitro update performs so well on my machine. I am tempted to try out norton , but relluctant to give up on avast nice config btw and thanks for sharing this with us all!!

Yes!
Actually, I reluctantly removed Avast. I then realized that Avast is much better than Webroot. Although I like Webroot (because of it's lightness) it's really hard to pass up on Avast's protection especially it's 'Hardened Mode' and 'CyberCapture'. Thanks!I love avast! the nitro update performs so well on my machine. I am tempted to try out norton , but relluctant to give up on avast
Ahhh, if i had a license for avast i would have gone another route maybe
All MT forum talks about Hardened Mode, i might look upon it how it works, i havent used avast for years

There's no need to buy a license dude. The free version is more than enough. You should give it a try.Ahhh, if i had a license for avast i would have gone another route maybe

believe me , you will like it! since the nitro update ( sorry if I keep raving on about this ) it's so unbeleavably light on the system even with all settings maxed out! it has really become a great product , and just like the king stated : the free version is addequate enough!
Tha same here!
I removed WSA because of license expired and I installed Avast Free HM flagged on aggressive.Boost your protection!

I agree, it's really faster than EG!@King Mellow Great changes, I also prefer FDM to EagleGet. It is really faster and stable
EagleGet is very buggy lately. The only downside is the UI and also the unnecessary components/tools. But overall it's great!Tha same here!
Boost your protection!
