Good choice by Emsisoft, to remove the firewall

Why not just use EAM?

The only thing which I don't like is that the "behavior blocker" will still go on and quarantine a file even if I had configured it to 'alert' me instead. This behavior, sometimes, could be very damaging (like, in my case) as it was later unable to restore the quarantined file to its real location. And Windows won't let me manually paste the file back into the folder.

Hello, did you report this unexpected behavior to the Emsisoft's Customer Support Team?

I am happy enough to use EAM with Windows firewall, I am sure it is more than enough protection for me.

 

[The paranoid one]

A pity, IMO. The creators of a firewall as great as Online Armor will use now a very good firewall, but not the owner one. I sincerely believe that Emsisoft had a great firewall
I insist it's just my opinion, but when I pay for an antivirus solution, one point I value a lot is the firewall.
However, this may be a demystification point for the firewall and perhaps other companies will follow the path Emsisoft has started.

Well, I'm using, Emsisoft Antimalware and Comodo Firewall, and it's going great.

Great combo indeed.
