    I used the same combination for awhile without any problems. Unfortunately NOD32 stopped working after the trial period. :D

    When I was in Canada I had Nod32 with Look n' Stop and both worked fine as a team. When I arrived in California I had a Linksys wireless router already installed with KAV and it worked fine but a couple of weeks after when I installed all my graphic programs, they started running VERY slowly and I decided to replace KAV with NOD32 and I haven't had any issues since then.

    Since my original post, I have replaced Nod32 with Dr.Web. I still use the Windows XP Firewall. That's it.

    Hey WSFuser - you didn't stick with Outpost for very long....any particular reason? Was there anything that you didn't necessarily like about it?

    when used alongside Prevx1, outpost caused unreal tournament 2004 to connect to the main server quite slowly. i then decided to try KIS (the firewall is a bit similar to outpost), and i noticed UT2004 connected a bit faster. plus, by using a suite i save some (memory) resources.

    ESET security suite. I think it will be a nice one. Till then L'N'S and NOD32 if I should choose only from the options posted in the poll. Anyway, I'm using other firewall currently. :D
