Can GeSWall take the place of your AV's http scanning?

I'm currently running BitDefender Internet Security 2008 (which is very impressive so far) and have "scan http traffic" enabled.

My question is, if I run GeSWall when browsing (with FF, noscript, etc.), can GeSWall take the place of http scanning (i.e., can I turn off http scanning in BDIS and run GeSWall instead, but still get comparable protection)?

 

I think it depends on what you do with your downloads and physical file sharing (eg. allowing a USB drive on your computer that is not yours.) I know GeSWall will allow you to run a downloaded program in an isolation box but if you want to install/run it permanently, I think it would be a good idea to scan it with an antivirus and an antispyware.

p.s. I also meant to mention that if you are asking about web infection only, I think that GeSWall would probably be enough. My main concern would be "leakage" because of the operator's poor choices. I know the hard way - guess I am one of those poor choice persons. I inadvertently allowed two dropper trojans and spyware to infiltrate my machine after downloading a "free" scrabble program.
