    I think appdefend and DW will conflict. I think they do the same thing in a different way.

    Yes, you can install, but it's a bit overkill.

    IMHO, keep the firewall, install defensewall and bin the rest.

    Regdefend and Appdefend appear to be no longer supported while Ilya's support is excellent and the program is constantly being updated. Look to the future and use DW.

    Many thanks to all, I like appdefend and regdefend but will have to make that sacrifice and what about the lightness and hd space occupied, are they equivalent? who takes more hd space ? it's important to me because i'm short of that.
    then have i uninstall ghostwall firewall too ?. what a pity.
    i have a post opened looking for a firewall. the suggestions have been the following: private firewall, looknstop, kerios, outpost, jettico, and zone alarm.
    regards

    I would give Defensewall a trial; the latest version is very light in real-time and takes up very little HD space.
    The next version, which will soon be in a beta form will also contain a FW.

    For now, no need to uninstall ghostwall just uninstall RD and AD and give DW a run.

    Hi ajap,

    yes it will be more than enough.
    DW is already (by default) configured as jmonge mentioned.

    Just enjoy! :)
    You don't have to change anything, it's already done by default.
    One more thing - please read DW help file, that's all. :thumb:

    Appdefend\Regdefend and DefenseWall work in different ways so I think they complement each other. Whether it is overkill or not depends on your comfort level. I used to run AP/RD but am now using Malware Defender with DefenseWall. There is no longer any support by Jason for AP or RD. MD and DW both have very active developers that regularly visit this forum and respond to questions very quickly. Along with a firewall and Anti-Virus you are pretty much immune from all threats.

    I disable network protection in Malware Defender because I am using Outpost Firewall. The MD default configuration provides good protection. You can do a search in Wilders to get some ideas. MD is very configurable and there have been a lot of good suggestions here. I see no need for anvir if you have MD. You can check the screenshots for MD at: http://www.torchsoft.com/en/md_screenshot.html and see if you want to keep anvir. MD also has a 30-day trial period. So you can use a full working version before you purchase it. Just run it in learning mode first and open close your applications and reboot a few time so MD knows what's on your system.
