    Hey guys
    Which combination should i go with for win 8.1 & 10 PCs?
    1. windows native firewall + windows defender
    2. windows native firewall + webroot secureanywhere
    3. windows native firewall + windows defender + wsa
    4. windows native firewall + bitdefender internet security (firewall disabled)
    5. windows native firewall + bitdefender internet security (firewall disabled) + wsa
    6. bitdefender internet security
    7. bitdefender internet security + wsa

    i am net-savvy, but sharing PCs with my wife who is slightly above average jane @ net department.

  2. Windows Firewall inbound only + WSA has worked on my wife's laptop for years without a problem. I really liked the safe banking feature when somebody is buying from the internet regularly. It is light also.

    I would personally go with n. 2 (and WSA enterprise to control all installation from WSA central panel) or number 1 but with PCs on a limited user account.

    You are fine with WSA.
