I would not recommend that you use IObit Malware Fighter because it failed Boizfear's Test. All you basically need is an AV, a companion, and a firewall. If you wanted an Anti-Malware Engine the upgrade to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro or Emsisoft AntiMalware.

For On-Demand scanner I recommend Emsisoft, SUPER AntiSpyware, or Hitman Pro.

I didn't know Panda had a Behavioral Blocker.

P.S. why does your profile say you have Win 7 Starter. When your config says Win 7 Home Premium

I am aware of IMF's low detection rate... and stuff. I chose to install their product. I only run HMP on every blue moon so I didn't add it to the list. I've been tempted to download EEK but... eh.

Got a new laptop and I forgot to update my profile.

Panda Cloud Beta has IDS and firewall if memory serves me right, since I only gave it a test when Earth told me about it and was fine but since it was beta I didn't do the review yet. waiting for official. I did however posted my feedback in their forums.

@tobi:
I was a user of Acronis but the running processes even when I didn't have any scheduled tasks was just pointless.

If you want a free utility that is also quite decent, specially if you want to use the image of your OS in VM: Paragon Backup and Recovery.

As for rollback, Toolwiz Timefreeze does it's job nice and clean

Perhaps add Sandboxie to your config.

Finally, get Unlocker 1.9.1 (the hassle that this product saved me, you wouldnt believe!)

@Tobi : you should use EEK

@Biozfear: Panda Cloud AV paid version has the BB, im using Acronis too, and disabled the useless services (non-stop backup), startup entries (true image monitor.exe) and the integration into Windows.

 

[McLovin]

Looks like a great setup. I do see that you have Chrome and Firefox, but there is something that you can add to both of them, it's Ghostery

@Umbra: Idk its a pretty long wait. Regarding PCAV, the Free version includes the BB and the PRO adds Behavioral Analysis. The behavioral is split into those two parts, and includes some TruPrevent techology.

I have 2 questions
1.Why not mbam or hitman for malware protection?
2.Why iobit uninstaller when revo and advanced are free?

ok, i thought that the behavioral analysis was the BB.

1) I heard MBAM is a bit heavy when running in realtime. I never trialed the product but that is what I reviewed and I never thought I need it running anyways. I keep HMP on hand and if I never do get infected, I would activate the free trial. Like I mentioned before, I am trialing IMF to give them feedback and samples. :angel:

2) So is IU? I dislike Revo's ugly GUI and I didn't take much interest in it. I don't think I have heard of Advanced Uninstaller so... yeah. I do use Geek Uninstaller though.

Iobit uninstaller works fine

Iobit uninstaller works fine

Its ok but no where near to revo
P.S. I too don't use revo now a days

2.Why iobit uninstaller when revo and advanced are free?

Revo Uninstaller Free/Portable doesn't (or don't?) support 64-bit applications.

Not sure but have read on many forums that it works with 64 bit too

 

[Ink]

No, I'm saying it doesn't uninstall programs in the C:\Program Files\. Not hard to understand.

 

[Plexx]

Only paid version uninstalls in program files folder of 64bit Architecture, as Earth said.

I have both to be honest. but on my other laptop solely using Iobit.
