EAM, Firewalls and Windows Filtering Platform

[HAWKI 7]

We have been told time and again that it is not adviseable to use EMIS with another security program that uses Windows Filtering Platform such as Malwarebytes. The reason being that EMIS uses Windows Filtering Platform and the two could conflict.

Is it only the EMIS Firewall component that uses Windows Filtering Platform ??

Hi

Yes, as far as I know, it's only Emsisoft Internet Security/ firewall  component that use Windows Filtering Platform, and not EAM but who knows, that may change it the future.

Yes, Emsisoft Anti-Malware does not use WFP, or any other kind of network filter driver.
