Hey folks,
I'm wondering if the Emsisoft products require Windows Firewall or Defender to run. I'm currently trying to slim down Win 8.1 as much as possible and disable all the services I don't need.
Since I'm running Internet Security as my security solution, I don't really like the thought of having that "extra layer of protection" called Windows Defender (which includes MS-AV as of Win 8.1) and Firewall.
Specifically I'm looking those services:
Security Center
Windows Defender Service
Windows Defender Network Inspection Service
Windows Firewall
Is it save to disable them?
Regards
