[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 908928, member: 32547"] Hello everyone. Want to get serious protecting the work I have on my laptop. For now it has: Kaspersky Security Cloud Free NVT OSArmor I tried adding Comodo firewall, but it and Kaspersky cannot stand each other. It's possible to get Comodo installed if KSC is removed first, but then KSC brings alerts about certificates until it isn't worth the trouble to have Comodo. I am ready to move on now, but not sure about how to approach laptop security. What about MITM attacks and other internet dangers? I take the laptop with me when I travel and sometimes when I am moving about. Any special apps for that or a special browser to use? I wish someone made a very serious version of their security suite software designed especially for a laptop. I know I will need a firewall. In that light I have been dissatisfied with most of the ones I have used. I think FortKnox is on the right track, but the devs seem to be sleeping on that project, and it is buggy and in need of work. Some I don't like much for a laptop: Glasswire -too heavy Binisoft (formerly) Windows Firewall Control-too busy for a small screen Comodo firewall-can't run with KSC Tiny Wall-underfeatured, for a laptop but maybe it's the best I could do Zone Alarm-not sure on this but tried it a year ago and not what I am seeking Private Firewall-just too old I think the peerfect app for a laptop might be SpyShelter. Think I will be hard pressed to match that kind of protection for free, but maybe it's time to pay. Anyone used AVS firewall? Appreciate any input on this program. Thanks for any nuggets or jewels of knowledge for protecting a laptop... [/QUOTE]
