How's Ad-Aware's Addon? Does it block alot of sites?

Pretty much the same as panda to be honest. What ESET doesn't block Ad Aware does and vice versa. Was just to increase the web protection but could not be asked to install a toolbar and then remove the leftovers etc (panda)

Still need to do some tweaks on my actual config but haven't done much today since reviews took a chunk of my time and then game took some more.

Update:
Sandboxie testing has been halted for now.

Removed:
ESET with Webroot SecureAnywhere combo. Reason: Interesting combo but rather irrelevant for my needs.

Added:
Currently doing some troubleshooting with CAV on its own and optimizing avast! Antivirus Free.

That would be an interesting combo. Won't they conflict? Or is that just me?

No ESET and Webroot Dont Conflict if you Configure them correctly when you install them

The PCAV will go to one of my systems but not my gaming one. I experienced lag while running PCAV (trial of pro) when I gave it a test run.

So you will not see PCAV on my main config.

Hi Biozfear,
As far I remember you have done review of avast avira and eset.
Can you please tell which one you feel light on your machine and browsing speed is best on which av
If you have tested norton you can include in the compare list

RE: Biozfear's main config (updated 31/07/12)

From the list of products you named and that I reviewed, ESET was and still is light. Avira was also light for me. Avast had the slow downs on shutdown and some delay on boot. Note that I did not notice any slowdowns on avast on my 2nd config at the time. Suppose I'm used to i7 so anything a bit slower than that you can't really notice small delays.

Web browsing none really had an impact.

I haven't tested much with Norton on my host. I temporarily switched to Norton and after some FP by sonar on legit apps and games, I switched off.

Hmmm,
I though myself that avast have slow down my browsing speed from last 3 days and malbky had also an issue with avast but now i checked everything on my pc and done speedtest.After doing all those stuffs i come to know that Fanboy's list (4 list which is mention in my setup) had slow down browsing speed to hell and avast is not culprit.
Now with easylist browsing speed back on normal

ok thanks, just remove them, and effectively, felt a slight increase of speed.

RE: Biozfear's main config (updated 31/07/12)

Hum... I will have to check with ESET. Will come back with results.

Norton should be as light as ESET as far as I know.

in matter of RAM, NIS is around 25-30mb, for responsiveness i can't tell i never used ESET.

That's good for a signature AV, Trend uses twice as much even though it's a cloud AV

1.Nis is lighter than Eset( ihave used both)
2.Umbra:Remember to add easylist after you remove fanboy otherwise ad will pop up everywhere
3.Mclovin:Although cloud av term as light but they cause problem when you are browsing
