GeSWall vs. Defensewall untrusted apps

I see that GeSWall automatically sets a more comprehensive list of programmes as untrusted when compared with Defensewall's list.

I'm using Defensewall - do I need to add the GeSWall lised apps to Defensewall's untrusted processes or would that be over-protective?

Please explain any comments.

Thanks,
Ian

 

Iangh,

At home we run GesWall Pro and DefenseWall on different systems. I should only add programs that you use which fall in the groups:
- web browser
- e-mails and news
- Chat Messengers
- P2P
- IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

Due to its simplicity and the rather square (but hacker/brilliant like) idea's of its developer (Ilya) I have used DefenseWall to test the effectiveness of just an anti-executable (SSM) and sandbox with different kinds of threats.

GeSWall (Brian) has a more architectural approach, trying to build on what is already there (Microsofy Management Console).

Both have uncredible user support eagerness. When I would have bought only one of the two, I would have been a 'fan' of that product, because I could not imagine to get the same service from its direct competitor.

 

Thanks, Kees

I agree Ilya's support is impressive.

I'm not qualified to judge his brilliance although I would bet he has a brain the size of a planet!

Yep,

But it is hard to imagine that Brian's (of GeSWall) user support is as impressive. It really is a pitty that the 'sandbox' market is not picked up by the general market of XP home users.

No, it is normal size!

 

is defensewall vista ready? any link please....

currently i have pccillin IS 2007, superantispyware pro and spywareblaster....with additional of defensewall will not conflict with my existing 3 security program?

 

Yes, current beta version is Vista x32 compatible. Coming soon RC1 is even more compatible with it...

No, there should be no conflicts with this security setup.
