It's your choice, first one for higher data safety, sec...

Re: Cathy portable woes...
I followed instructions here to get Cathy 's latest version (v2.31) portabilized with yaP (v0.0.2.3fixed).

Re: Leatrix Latency Fix - Is it coinsidered portable?
The leatrix fix, whilst it works, it does seem incredibly bloated for saying all it does is alter two registry settings. 5meg for that? Seems a little overkill. I totally agree. I downloaded and extracted it, and was shocked to find that it looked like coded in Python with countless folders of depe...

Re: Light Alloy
After some rapid testing, I'm really impressed with Light Aloy lightweightness, usability and range of features. Too bad most of its documentation (including help and the user forum) is mainly in Russian -- that's what prevents wider adoption of LA , IMHO... For the record, after extirpation of unne...

I've been using the latest (updated) versions with both Sentinel / ClamAV an MS Security Essentials , complemented with the freeware WinPatrol and never ever had any trouble. I guess it's yet another hit of the age old AutoIt script false positives, since the only reputable anti-malware flagging it ...
