[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 839828, member: 63811"] I noticed recently that my wifi does not connect until my AV finished booting up. So there you have your firewall protection. In almost all cases, the AV is long awake before your PC can even establish a connection. Unless you have those controversial Intel vPro CPUs that can do whatever they want no matter what the user does, thanks to Intel Management Engine. If you really really care about that, get a Chromebook. It checks all of the code at boot and if something is foul, it boots the last normal backup. Everything at boot is signed by Google and the 3rd party drivers that they have vetted. Google is in full control over the boot process until you sign in. [/QUOTE]
