I recently obtained both Vaccine and Gatekeeper and was wondering if
folks on the net could expound on the relative merits of each.
Gatekeeper seems to be the more thorough of the two, but does require
setting up all the permissions. Also, it seems that Gatkeeper allows
you to choose between halting all suspicious activity and simply
notifying the user. What I'd like to have is something that would let
me allow or prevent actions as I see fit. (Especially in the early
stages when I'm trying to get Gatekeeper configured.) Is this possible?
I haven't looked into Vaccine too much yet, so I don't know as much
about it.
I have the impression that there is no point in putting both in my
System Folder. Is this correct? Would having both in my System Folder
cause any problems?
Thanks for any and all advice.
