[QUOTE="plat, post: 894602, member: 74969"] What I'm wondering is if CFA is too slow to block for certain programs. Here's an example from personal experience: Some time ago, OSArmor couldn't block legacy Edge from opening if Edge was enabled to run in the background. It would throw an alert as if a block happened but legacy Edge would open unhindered and function perfectly. So another point I'm making: just because you get an alert, it apparently doesn't mean squat in some cases. Which leads back to my original dilemma; is it worth keeping enabled? I'll need more info and will try to get that elsewhere. If I'm aware of contingencies like this, I can make better decisions about what to keep or discard on my machine. In OSA's case it was a matter of toggling certain background apps running in the bkgrd to OFF and it's a keeper, then. Here, I'm not so sure. [/QUOTE]
