Works just as good as a lot of other products out there.

This is it, the solution I've been waiting for!

It runs a bit heavy on my machine though.

Sorry to disappoint all those who thought Gizmo might have sacked me over Christmas, but I promise they will get better from now on

oh no! MSE gave an alert about "Joke:Win32/Placeboav"

I allowed it anyways

Category: Joke Program

Description: This program is designed to amuse or scare the user.

Seriously, the AV industry needs to be ashamed of itself.

By the way, thanks for the link to the great dedoimedo site!

Yes, this guy has a unique style and writes very informative stuff. We're hoping to persuade him to contribute here but nothing is settled as yet.

I liked this article among other ones:

Ironically, I did experience this myself with Comodo's defense +

and this article is equally good:

Love this guy's tongue in cheek style...

I used to be like that (still can be) but I can also argue a lot at times

Yes, text with "attitude" is not always easy to make attractive across a broad spectrum of readers, but he manages this well. I think also the relaxed confidence behind his obvious abilities shows through in the content.

I also liked this article. Right now I am, basically, following what he is
saying here but to the extreme. At the moment Sandboxie and WFW
are the only programs running/affecting my browser when I surf, no
real time anti virus is running or installed at this time and feels good.
I have been thinking for a few days about trying/adding Spyshelter
but the probable issues that he mention here are keeping me from
installing it.
