Question for you guys

[Overkill]

Has anyone tried this combo...CFW+Avast free+EAM if so, any suggestions on what to keep and what to disable?

For anyone who's not sure what the initials mean, it's Comodo Firewall+Avast Free Anti-Virus+Emsisoft Anti-Malware

There's technically 3 sandboxes,2 behavior blockers & 1 HIPS so which ones would you disable or would you keep them all?

You only need one of each, but not all.
1. Antivirus + Firewall
2. + HIPS and/or + BB (optional)
3. + Sandbox (optional)

tried before, so there were my tweaks:

Avast as main AV, EAM as companion.

1- Disabled Avast's Sandbox (can't compare with CFW's ones)
2- Disabled avast BB, (at my time it was not exceptional, but now you may consider it)

I would Recommend
Comodo firewall (proactive mode)
Avast Antivirus Free with the following Disabled (sandbox , behaviour blocker ) not sure about avast webshield disabled or enabled but i would recommend to disable webshield if you notice slow down while surfing or downloading anything
Emsisoft Antimalware (on execution with everything at default or you could enable or disable some settings)

Have tried the Comodo long back was Good but you will notice some slow downs for 2-3 Days after that it doesnt seem to slow down the machine

I would reccomend comodo firewall with d+ and Eam

Thanks guys, now which modules of avast would you exclude in EAM and vice versa?
I know it might be a bit much but I have the umbra bug lol, i'm planning on playing in the VM for awhile before my host just fyi

EDIT: I know what modules to exclude of EAM but not as familiar with avast since it's been awhile since I messed with it.

I would take advantage of Avast Custom installation to not install some of the shields in the first place, rather than disabling them afterwards.

As for EAM or Comodo I don't know.

 

[Overkill]

Makes sense i'll keep that in mind

Still playing with it, so far so good
