Hi,
 
Is privatefirewall from privacyware compatible with WSA? It is said to have keylogging and many other proactive protection along with a hips. I was wondering if it would work smoothly with WSA.
 
Best Wishes,

I know I have seen users using these together before without issues, so I would say yes.

Yes I've seen many use that combo without issues just make sure not to block any WSA processes to the system or to the internet with the HIPS & Firewall. ;)

Thanks guys. One last thing, are there any overlapping between the two in terms of features and protections? I mean I can't use Online Armor with WSA because some of their features and protections are common and causes conflict. Is it the case with These two? I'm afraid of hidden conflicts. Best Wishes, Amit

I don't really know as I never tried it but I have seen many use the Combo so give it a try and let us know for sure before you upgrade your system!;)

It's very light. The installer is 3mb. I've set it to training. And minimal pop-ups now. Feels light. Yup the upgrade is gonna be sweet and if the combo sets in my system will fly light and strong.:)
