I can't believe how many firewalls are listed. The KAV2011 list seems especially heavy. Look 'n' Stop?! Really? Does KAV 2011 have so many more firewalls listed because of the ability to quickly switch to KIS in this version? If a user only installs the File Anti-Virus, Proactive Defense, and System Watcher (for 2011), do these lists still apply? Is this just a marketing move to sell more KIS over KAV combined with another companies firewall product? -------------------- RT: Malware Defender \| Look 'n' Stop \| avast! 5 Pro \| SuRun \| Acrylic DNS \| Sandboxie OD: HostsMan \| Trojan Remover \| Emsisoft CL \| Avira CL \| Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro \| SUPERAntiSpyware Pro \| Acronis True Image OS: Windows XP SP3 HW: Antec P182 \| Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3P \| Intel QX9750 \| OCZ Reaper 4GB \| nVidia GTX285 \| HT OMEGA Claro+

Whew, that's a relief! I'm seeing some conflicts with Jetico PFW and KAV 2011, but I just saw that CF1 was released so I'm hoping I'll have better luck with this than 232. Thanks for the replies guys! -------------------- RT: Malware Defender \| Look 'n' Stop \| avast! 5 Pro \| SuRun \| Acrylic DNS \| Sandboxie OD: HostsMan \| Trojan Remover \| Emsisoft CL \| Avira CL \| Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro \| SUPERAntiSpyware Pro \| Acronis True Image OS: Windows XP SP3 HW: Antec P182 \| Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3P \| Intel QX9750 \| OCZ Reaper 4GB \| nVidia GTX285 \| HT OMEGA Claro+

For example I used to run CFW with KAV and it worked well without any conflicts.

I thought making the list meant a verified incompatibility, so that's good news. I don't use the web, mail, or IM AV so the proxy isn't an issue for me. I have had issues with Jetico PFW 2 with both KAV2010 and KAV2011. Unfortunately, the CF1 release didn't change anything for KAV2011. My logoff and logon times are so slow I have to hard reboot. I was able to isolate the issue with KAV2010 (bluescreens when launching IE7) to a rule in Jetico. I imaged my system back to avast! 5 Pro until I more thoroughly test KAV2010 in my VM to make sure it is stable with my setup. Your replies give me the hope that I'll be able to run my setup without any drastic changes and that I didn't waste money buying the license for KAV. Thanks again! -------------------- RT: Malware Defender \| Look 'n' Stop \| avast! 5 Pro \| SuRun \| Acrylic DNS \| Sandboxie OD: HostsMan \| Trojan Remover \| Emsisoft CL \| Avira CL \| Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro \| SUPERAntiSpyware Pro \| Acronis True Image OS: Windows XP SP3 HW: Antec P182 \| Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3P \| Intel QX9750 \| OCZ Reaper 4GB \| nVidia GTX285 \| HT OMEGA Claro+

Just another point of failure, consuming ressources and with known/unknown programming flaws/bugs where an attacker can easily get in while you feel safe.

I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this point.
