any such firewall?

yes it turns out appdefend was a bit irritating..as you might have already guessed i got a NAT router and AV with hips,thats the only reason i need something that simple...the simpler,the less crashes-conflicts with av-hips etc..i am talking of experience..even a kinda incompatible update of your AV module can ruin your OS due to conficts if your setup is complex if my licence was pf a plain av like antivir or avast i wouldn't bother any1,i'd head for OA or CPF3...

a kind user around here pmed me to try dynamic security agent..and since i got an image now i will thanks for your help all guys though

 

I think you did not set AppDefend's default permissions to allow all except ask only on Network Access. No "noise" at all for me, except nagscreen at startup, and when new apps access internet.

 

Thats why I said use Online Armor. Very easy to use and set up.

 

Well I have seen no evidence of heavy CPU usage out of OA2. Every time I take a look at Task Manager or Process Explorer both OA processes are using 0 CPU, so I wouldn't call that heavy either.

 

Seems like we agree on everything. Most of the time OA with its 2 sevices are using 16K.

 

AppDefend 0% cpu, and it's 2 processes:

 

Peter2150,

Windows firewall + AppDefend does do what TS wanted as stated in his 1st post

EDIT quote with emphasis mine:

Its not listed in here. Only Ghost.

They say AppDefend is a protection system for Windows and Ghostwall is a firewall. So I agree with Peter2150.

 

yeps..might not be a firewall but it does the job of what i asked for pretty dam well except for that "buy me" thingy^^ never imagined that it could do the work and be that light either..yeow,your the man
