[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1039686, member: 99014"] Avast, AVG and McAfee Legacy, before the new generation that got re-written don’t use the Windows Firewall Platform either. Trend Micro does, claiming to be adding firewall booster. That by itself is an anti-bot component (blocks malicious communications system-wide) with some very light IPS capabilities (only seen the IPS-like function in action once). The new McAfee that has now been rewritten uses WFP to block inbound connections and proprietary component to control outbound ones, including anti-bot inspection. I’ve not tested it. [/QUOTE]
