    Webroot, like DSA, uses an older version of the driver and (probably) network service module as well.

    Hi Espresso -

    Thanks for confirming the Vista Hotfix for the memory leak issue. In regards to the program execution control in Vista, are you referring to DSA or Privatefirewall (I think DSA, but want to be sure) and if I understand your post correctly, you observe the issue in 32 bit Vista systems?

    Yes, the problem is with DSA in 32bit Vista. Program execution control works fine with Private Firewall (I downloaded the latest trial to make sure) but with DSA, it doesn't raise a peep. If, however, I manually put a program in quarantine, it will load and run for 2-10 seconds and then shut down, so it partially works (belatedly).

    I've installed DSA on ~5-6 Vista installations with the same result.
