    Interesting. By "Process monitoring" do they mean the "process execution" feature or the "Application security" features (thread injection, system file tampering detection, etc). For the latter, the most useful feature IMO, I would expect it requires the driver to be loaded. Maybe they just turn off the firewall features of the driver.

    I just tried running this with the driver unloaded and it does mostly work. It will still prevent network access by a program if it tries to contact the dns server first. If it opens an IP directly, DSA won't interfere.

    I hope they release an upgraded version soon.

    Anyone knows when Vista builds will be available for DSA and Privatefirewall?
