Hi. My system is running slow everytime I am changing OP configuration. I just found out this in PG log (see file attached). Should I modify OP rules in PG? Cheers
Hi A8884126 I have all the programs you mention as resident ones, except NOD32, which in my case is replaced by KAV, and XP Pro SP1 fully patched too . This means I have installed PGuard v. 2000 (shareware) and Outpost Pro v. 2.1. As Outpost is a trusted application, I guess you could allow it more permissions. This is the way I have Outpost configured in PGuard: Allow Flsgs - Write, SetInfo, Terminate, Suspend Blocked Flags - Write, SetInfo, Terminate, Suspend Options - Close Message Handling This configuration has been working very well for me, with no noticeable system slowdown. I suggest you try it. If you have any more doubts just post here again, or send me a private message if in need of more help Regards Rui
Thanks for the reply, however I had to change the Allowed Privileges as it asked the security code (for cookie, java...) everytime I am visiting a new site. I am going to wait till the end of June as the guys from OP sould come back to me to solve my BSOD issue. If I get no news then I will move to ZA. Cheers
I suggest to Allow also Read and GetInfo to give read access to other protected processes. Also note that Read privilege should also be Blocked whenever you set Close Message Handling, because otherwise a malware could directly read the random HID code from the memory space. This was originally suggested by Jason. -hojtsy-
Thanks very much. However I just got too many BSOD yesterday (4 in one day!). I could not stand it anymore and I just moved to ZA Pro Web Filtering. I hope the BSOD will now disapear.. Cheers

Whenever I shut down my computer I get the Close Message Handling for Outpost - anyway to avoid this?
So the right way to configure Oupost is Allow Flsgs - Write, SetInfo, Terminate, Suspend Blocked Flags - Write, SetInfo, Terminate, Suspend, Read Options - None Correct?
This is my config for Outpost Pro: Allow Flags :- Read,Write,Terminate,Suspend,GetInfo,SetInfo Blocked Flags :- Write,Terminate,Suspend,SetInfo Option Flags :- None I give my security apps full Allow privileges. Nick
Ok I set mine the same way I guess you don't really need to block read if you are not going to use Close Message Handling in options. Thanks
