I have SuperAntiSpyware, ESET NOD32 (not the Smart Security),
Malwarebytes and Zemana AntiLogger with all their real time
features enabled and running happily together. That makes me
*almost* bulletproof.

I download a lot of 'dubious' programs and last week all four of
them detected badware either on download or on installation
that the others missed, for a total of nine that would have got
me if I was running only one program.

This week, with the exception of last week's webcam spy logger
that still only Zemana is detecting, SAS, MBAM and ESET can now
detect what they missed last week, but I now have three new
badwares that are detected by only one of those three and
missed by the other two. I sent samples to each and I expect
they will all detect all three in a few days.

The moral of this story is that no single antimalware can detect
every 0-Day on Day One. There is a high probability that one
day I will download a 0-Day that nothing detects, but Sandboxie
is my friend. :-)
