Windows 7 x64 Home Premium SP1
I have WSA AV running along side of MSE with no issues, but I want to make sure everything is set up properly. I excluded the Webroot folder and WRSA.exe in MSE, and in WSA, I turned the self protection to minimum. Are there any other changes I should make?
Thanks in advance!

You shouldn't have to make any changes as I'm running WSA and the new Windows Defender on Win 8 RP without any issues or exclusions! And you should keep WSA self protection at Max at all times! Also on my 3 other VM's I use WSA and VIPRE AV with no conflicts and no exclusions!

Thanks for the reply! The only reason I turned WSA's self protection to minimum was because I read in the help manual that it was recommended to do so if running more than one solution in real time. I'll turn it back to maximum and see if I notice anything weird..........Thanks again!
+23I'd ditch MSE and use Webroot exclusively. Then again, I have a low level of disdain for MSE...

Same here, I know what you mean. I also don't like the hour + Full scan with MSE. Maybe I'm use to the Super Fast Scan with WSA. 😃@ wrote:

Ok guys thanks. Since you run WSA alone, do either of you turn up the heuristics settings? If so, how high do you set them?
+23Mine are all default.

The setting I changed was "Protected Websites". All 4 settings are set to Max. (Followed TH, thanks)

OK thanks guys! One last question, and maybe a dumb one, but if I change all of the heuristics to say HIGH, will WSA use more system resources, and for a better word, "slow down" the machine when compared to the default settings?
+56No as it's very low already! Here is mine just over 2.2MB Total! ;)

No such thing as a dumb question. I learn something new every day from these forums and so has someone else reading this thread.
