    "AV is Great, but I installed a Much Better FW...."

    July 24, 2011  |   By scottls59901

    Pros

    -One of the Very Highest AV detection/removal/Zero day rates (including paid), and a web/Spam guard too.
    -Fast, and easy to Temp Suspend for installs or on-demand AV scans...
    -Full featured Quarantine, and you CAN Restore from it!
    -Auto-Updates 4hrs.

    Cons

    No issues with the AV, but didn't like anything about their mom & pop firewall!-
    Silently allows Everything (including malware!), and no White/Black list to view/customize...

    Summary

    My solution was to install the latest free PrivateFireWall (used for 2 years)-
    -Un-ticked Outpost FW in "Settings"/reboot.
    -Installed PFW (reboot again after 10min initial learning (don't open, unless you are going to Import old Settings!)), to Fully activate (Any FW).

    With PFW There is a short learning curve-
    -Just start all your programs to have them auto-added to Process Monitor/Applications (default auto-Filtered, but you can right click & Allow All for the Fully Trusted ones to be faster....
    -I Filter the programs that are prone to attack like- Java, Adobe Reader...
    -I also Filter IE9/FF5 in Applications, but Allow All in Processes.
    -You can also Save/Import Settings, for easy future program upgrades (must uninstall old first).

    Enjoying my Custom/full featured/Fast Security Suite!
