    what?......aww?......well, why not use both together.......after all wsa claims to be compatible and eam says, 'Anyway it's still compatible with nearly all other programs.

    If you encounter a problem in combination with another program, please tell us. We will solve the problem as quickly as possible.'..........

    For the first time ever, i am going to install MSE :)

    I hope its light. it has not got excellent detection recently but I want to try a free AV which is simple.
    Lets see how things turn out.

    You know it really is all that. Once you get it tweaked the way you want it - it just streams along and you barely know it is there...:thumb: :D :thumb:

    Going to run with Microsoft for a while: Removed a Firewall/HIPS and installed MSE and turned on Windows Firewall.

    I like MSE for the super-low false positives, which might compensate for the unspectacular detection rates.

    I didn't think about using the MSE beta, but since you've had a good experience with it I'll load it up.

    I have found detection with the beta to be very good. Load time at startup is very good and it is light to the feel. Main thing is the improvement in detection.

    Sounds good, trjam. Looks like it's a closed beta, so I'll put in a request for it.

    well removed EMET 2.1 , was making my system unstable as nothing else , its the pure horror!!! -.-'

    guess i know now why ams963 striked that through xD


    and uninstalled private firewall it was so fn annoying , i thought commodo was bad , well wait till you get this firewall and youll be glad youve had commodo, and i thought microsofts firewall was bad xD,and too top it off like blocked off most of my regular os files couldnt even access my userpic in the end gave me shell32.dll errors and more -.-', blocked most of everything , most of my programs etc and ive set them to fully allowed btw -.-' , POS !!


    so any other firewall suggested? perhaps online armor afterall? anyone? or is my wsa complete firewall sufficient ?

    Sounds like you were running two firewalls at the same time, which can cause all sorts of problems. Privatefirewall has a HIPS which takes a while to settle down. I never hear from the Windows firewall, so I'm not sure what your problem is there. Good luck sorting it all out.
