is it a good idea to run both of these programs- threatfire and system protect at the same time on my computer?
or is it overkill when combined with comodo internet security (free)

Hey crazy !!
Well , Threatfire is made to work with an Antivirus program so,
I guess if you don't mind the extra resources it takes then, I think
you should be OK. Only one word of caution when dealing with
HIPS programs, they are heuristic based and as such , are more
prone to False Positives. Be absolutely sure that, when it reports
Any intrusions, you Google that entry or make use of ProcessLibrary.com
or ProcessID . If you have any .ext you haven't
seen or don't know what it is from then , DotWhat is the place to go .
System Protect :
One question : Do you Back-Up your files regularly ?
This , in my opinion , is resources badly spent. But hey,
if it makes You feel safer then , it's your call. it's also Your
PC . (in your case , I think , Notebook . right ?) It will simply
make sure to ask if you really want to delete this file. In some
cases , malware MAY attempt to delete files or processes.
Commodo Internet Security :
Is it the FREE version or the Paid For version ? Some swear by it others
just hate it. Again , this is your call. If you are satisfied with this Suite then,
keep it. You feel it is enough security then , enjoy your protection from them.
AND yes, they will all play well together. I haven't seen or heard of any conflicts
from any of the forums I check.
