[QUOTE="Gandalf_The_Grey, post: 979152, member: 52096"] In my opinion VS and SWH try to do more or less the same. Protect the system for when your main AV fails. SWH is passive protection if something gets blocked you can only see it in the logs. And VS is active protection, you will get a popup if something is blocked. A problem can be that you need to judge the popup yourself and when chosen wrong you can open your system to malware. So, for example for my mother-in-law I would go with SWH and my son prefers VS. There are 4 great options to add protection to your system next to your AV: 1) Simple Windows Hardening or Hard_Configurator from [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] 2) VoodooShield from [USER=62850]@danb[/USER] 3) Comodo firewall with the settings from [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] 4) OSArmor and/or SysHardener from [USER=68429]@NoVirusThanks[/USER] I would choose just one of these options to make troubleshooting easier for when something doesn't work / gets blocked on your system.
