HI,
Can GesWall and AVAST be installed together? If not,can you give me some advice on how to get extra protection.
What system are you using? Windows 7,XP?
I was using GesWall with Avast on Windows XP for a while and there were no problems that I could notice.
Windows XP
What do you want to use GesWall for, protecting internet browser, mail client, etc?
And the first question I should ask, which Avast version are you using: Free, Pro, IS?
Any other security software: firewall, behavioral blocker, etc?
I have installed avast free(6.01289)and I want to use it for restricting some softwares and anting leak.
System firewall and no behavioral blocker.
In that case you can use GesWall, there shouldn’t be any problems, you can use Online Armor otherwise.
Hey guys, I am not sure but I thought that Geswall is not the same as your regular firewall, Online Armour, PCTools, Comodo, etc. I thought that Geswall uses a different approach by isolating your certain programs and web browsers and putting them in a different isolated folder, almost like Sandboxie…Also I tried to install it a few years ago and had big time problems with Avast blocking the download…So I never really bothered with it and stuck with PC Tools the regular type firewall…
as long as if its Avast free, it wont create any issues.
cheers
As far as I know GesWall doesn’t work like sandbox. I think it restricts applications actions to a set of predefined rules and limits their access to system resources.
It’s a HIPS. 
Pretty much.
From the Geswall website on how it works…Overwiew
OVERVIEW
GeSWall focuses on attack objectives such as taking control of a PC, stealing data, breaking system integrity and prevents damage regardless particular attack techniques. It protects you from intrusions and malicious software by isolating Internet exposed applications. Isolation applies an access restriction policy that effectively prevents all kinds of attacks, known and unknown.
Once installed, GeSWall dynamically isolates web browsers, e-mail, chat, P2P, IRC clients and other applications that may serve as entry points for malicious software or intrusions. Viruses, trojans, spyware and exploits cannot pass through an isolated application and so cannot cause any damage.
…So it does Isolate and put your browser and main web tools in a different folder…and does in a way act like Sandboxie…
See Reply #9…
Is Geswall still even being developed? Seems stale to me.
No idea, but I wouldn’t use it anyway.
They’ve just had new releases out and due to release a 64bit version http://www.gentlesecurity.com/downloads_geswall.html
I also wouldn’t use it but if wanting something similar along those lines then WinPatrol would be my choice for a light hips application.
+1
WinPatrol works great on 32bit and 64bit systems.
You do not have WinPatrol PLUS in your signature ???
