1. Can SecureAPlus be used as an antivirus protection, and totally remove Norton Standard 2016 + Comodo Firewall or Kaspersky Antivirus 2016 + Firewall (the two combinations i've used lately). Recommended?
2. How does SecureAPlus protects in-real-time? Does it use all its antivirus real time protection modules?
1. SecureAPlus is an application white-listing soft
A. Clean install OS
B. Install SecureAPlus
C. Install desired softs
D. Lock-Down system using SecureAPlus
System is whitelisted by SecureAPlus. It is assumed that all whitelisted processes are trusted - and anything newly introduced to system will be untrusted\blocked.
2. SecureAPlus has the av-scanning using the different engines - which will stop anything detected as malicious. Plus, depending upon your settings will block\allow.
The whole premise of white listing is that:
A. once system is configured, everything introduced will be blocked - unless you allow it to execute
B. the white-listing soft was installed on an already clean system
System lock-down is always the most safe mode of daily operation.
The overall success of this strategy is mostly dependent upon your willingness to adhere to it with discipline.
IF you have a clean system, then lock it down, then there isn't need for 15 layers of protection - two or three will do - but everyone has their own opinions on this.
SecureAPlus has two (white-listing & AV scan) + Adguard = pretty good protection.
