HI

I was wondering since WSA doesn't scan emails if it would be all right to add a second anti Virus,,I'm thinking Cryptlocker and other infected attachments

I'm trying Emisoft anto malaware alongside Secureanywhere..seems ok so far..Tried it with vipe internet security but I don't know if both firewalls would work together?

 

:cathappy:

 

 
Yes either one would work as WSA is designed to work with other AV's, AM's and Firewalls if wanted.

 

HTH,

WSA uses Windows firewall. So if your using a suite with a firewall or a stand alone firewall its best to disable Windows Firewall. Emsisift AntiMalware tends to be heavy on a system. WSA all by itself is plenty sufficient. 
My tip...just to make sure that they play well together...is to make sure that you whitelist/trust/exclude (what ever the term is) WSA in the other AV/IS, AND add the key executables of the other IS/AV as 'Allow' under the 'Block/Allow Files' tab in the PC Security settings section.

 

Whilst WSA is indeed designed from the outset to work with/to complement other IS/AV applications, I have always done that when running WSA & KIS together...and they have played very nicely with each other.

The reason I mentioned Vipre(Internet Security) is because i have a lot of time left on subscription.It also has a firewall...:cathappy:
If you want to yes you can but do you need it I think not. Just a note about the firewall: http://www.webroot.com/En_US/SecureAnywhere/PC/WSA_PC_Help.htm#C4_Firewall/CH4a_ManagingFirewall.htm
