Ahh i see now...my opinion and experience is just that , whereas your
opinion and experience matches the general experience (in your
opinion).Its a fact that that kerio 2.1.5 and look n stop uses less cpu
and memory than practically all avs with a resident scanner.Before
suggesting anything else perhaps you should do some retests yourself.I
will continue to advise posters to use an outbound application firewall
rather than one without,and im sure you will continue to advise the
opposite.
respectfully.
