RE: Updated Config 14-11-2012

People will always have their Loyal AV.
Unless you are a paranoid user like the Majority of the Umbra Corporation you will try and use almost any AV and switch every other week :p

But I'm like Umbra, Comodo and EAM, are the ones I always return to and love! (Sometimes webroot too)

However, I would think that Symantec is my main Bias. It may not be the best but I just feel comfortable with it regardless of "Former" users who used past versions and "I listen to what other people say and say the same thing even though I never used it" people say. Believe it or not, The Majority who say awful things about Symantec are people who either used it before the massive overhaul in 2009 or people who listen to other people and say what they say even though they never even used it.

Remember, Bias's change. I used to have a strong McAfee bias which was my first ever AV which I used for like 10 years, Infact ever since I started using the internet back in the AOL days but I just kept getting infected and I got tired of the slow downs so I finally got rid of it back in Summer of 2011 and I just been experimenting with other AVs that I never used before and just search for the "right" one.
So far it's been Comodo, Emsisoft, Symantec, Kaspersky, and Formally Avast. (I'll explain the reason why I no longer have a bias for Avast if you want me too)

But with that being said, Great luck for AVG sushiman! :p

RE: Updated Config 25-12-2012

sure you can Mclovin , I just wanted one secure browser instead of multiple ones so after some research reading I decided to go for comodo dragon ( it is also recommended to have this if you want to make use of the comodo kiosk feature ) I am not dissapointed , the speed of pageloading is excellent :)

RE: Updated Config 25-12-2012

Geez, okay makes sense, but if Dragon is based of Chrome, then they both would work the same way? Anyway another addon that you can add is HTTPS Everywhere. :)

i don't use Dragon anymore, i am full Chrome user, and i can transfer some Dragon addons (ex: Web inspector) into Chrome :D

btw, Dragon doesn't have a Built-in Flash player, so you need to install it, also the security holes are fixed far later than chrome.

- Built-in Flash player
- built-in PDF viewer
- faster security fixes
- compatibility with other products wider than Dragon

Just a matter of time before the love builds up again.

Umbra keeps bouncing back and forth between Emsisoft and Comodo products.

On topic however, what Umbra described as reasoning about holes being fixed, I fully agree. As for built in pdf/flash, it is optional and convenient depending on the user needs:)

@OP: if you were to simplify or strip down your setup what would you remove? This includes additional tools for maintenance, etc.

RE: Updated Config 25-12-2012

Yet another small change :

* Removed - Toolwiz Timefreez

* Replaced with - Shadow defender

the reason for this change : when being in " freeze mode " continiously makes the computer lag , also had to restore an earlier image , because some operating files got corrupted , after ussage of freeze mode.
