Have you ever needed to use Comodo Cleaning Essentials or Kaspersky TDSSKiller on your current set-up?

Do you know if Dragon uses the same Malware / Phishing protection lists as Chrome?

HMP in my opinion is not all that good.

I would recommend Emsisoft Antimalware or SUPER Antispyware as an on demand scanner.

1-I totally rely on HIPS, I believe prevention is better than cure, so HIPS is a good solution.
2-I think that Dragon and Chrome uses different protection lists.

Emsisoft Anti Malware has a lot of false positives, with high size daily updates.

HMP does to well as on demand scanner, since it combines with multiple engines including Emsisoft. Also focuses on nasty like rootkits with variant of TDL3, TDSS and etc.

HMP does very well, it is a must have, it is even better than MBAM to me.

Consider adding a HDD defrag: Puran Defrag is a good choice and is free.
I prefer Paragon Backup & Recovery as a Backup solution, but thats my personal preference.

Other than that, decent config.

I agree

I prefer Paragon Backup & Recovery as a Backup solution, but thats my personal preference.

Advantage of Windows backup is that you can launch it from the Windows repair boot menu, the cons is that the image is very big.

Could you explain a reason?

Have you tried SAS lately, it doesn't perform as well as MBAM or other on-demand scanners, such as HitmanPro.

Config looks good. Why did you choose to disable the sandbox in CIS?

In fact autosandbox in CIS is a auto HIPS, and I think it has been designed for beginner users and It's useful for beginner users.
Also, I have some malware that can bypass the sandbox but can not bypass the HIPS.

----
I believe Hitman Pro is much better than SAS, don't doubt. Also a new product from SurfRight has been released, hitman pro.alert(It's a beta version)

No it's not. It's an access rights restriction style sandbox. (Like the Chrome sandbox)

It does help to reduce the number of alerts that a user may see because unrecognized applications are merely sandboxed instead of triggering an alert from Defense+, but it is not an auto HIPS. (Whatever that may be...)

Submit it to Comodo. Comodo Malware Analysis

Hi Heffed,

Yeah, It's an access rights restriction, but sometimes these restrictions is not enough. Some malwares must be entirely block.

It does help to reduce the number of alerts that a user may see

Exactly, users don't see them, and these alerts will be block, and therefore I say it's very very similar to auto HIPS.

Thanks

So set the execution control of the sandbox to ''Block''
