Gnosis's UPDATED (11-29-13) CONFIGURATION

[Gnosis]

Deactivated WSA's web shield due to 3-5 second delays when accessing new sites. Firewall and Realtime Shield still activated. Still like WSA very much.

Added Emsisoft Internet Security. Removed TF and WSA. Actually Emsisoft crashed TF during install eventhough I disabled Mamutu during installation. LOL
My PC gets to the desktop at boot time like normal, but it seems that Emsisoft is wrestling with my wireless at that time, thus causing a slightly painful delay before I can open anything or get internet service.
That said, Emsisoft is very, very smooth and the user interface is fabulous.
I forgot how much I like Online Armor. It is a really nice firewall. It exposed Dr. Web's connection, though all I have installed from St. Petersburg is Dr. Web Link Checker; SNEAKY DEVILS. I guess I will humor them. I have used Dr. Web CureIt plenty of times, free of charge, and their link checker is really cool, though I don't use it unless I am just fooling around. I must say that when I boot my PC and immediately see connections via Online Armor and "Russian Federation" is one of them, I brace for the worst scenario. LOL
Actually, I see their headquarters are in Moscow, which I thought was the case, but the IP look-up stated St. Petersburg.

OA is a strong firewall, should do you good

I like EIS runs very well on Windows 7 for me without any problems

 

[Gnosis]

I may have found the start-up sluggishness cause; it seems that Online Armor was not satisfied with "allowing" my antenna to connect to the router. I had to "trust". Could not get online several times. Now it is fine. Hopefully the time from desktop to internet service and program openly will decrease considerably as a result.
I am pretty excited about Emsisoft.

Did you purchase EIS or are you using it on a trial? If you are thinking about purchasing it,DON'T and PM me

 

[Gnosis]

Very thoughtful of you. Actually, I have the paid version, so I am good for 363 days. Thank you very much though. I really appreciate the thought. Lord knows that I will be a great spokesperson for them. LOL
