Hi SpeedyPC,
It is a shame actually that all comes in suites to-day, you cannot make up your own brew of desired stand-alone tools to make up your own layered defense model.
I just want a stand-alone two-way firewall, a intrusion detection program like ThreatFire, connection monitoring tools, log analyzing tools, bot activity detection, in-browser security extensions, etc, one resident av-solution, additional anti-malware detection.
I can understand that the newbie welcomes a ready made solution as the average user gets these overbloated suites to-day from the major vendors of security solutions, well, my friend, I like to make my own pick and for good reasons that I have established myself and I. One of the reasons while I left Comodo firewall. One of the reasons I enjoy a security tweakable browser like Firefox or Flock (NoScript, RP, ABP. CSP etc.),
No I do not want a sheep with five legs, I want it to fly!
