Online Armor (http://www.tallemu.com/) is supposed to be the best right now.

Right, i've downloaded Online Armor and everything was running fine, until today when the Online Armor fiewall stopped my AVG E-mail scanner from working. I've allowed the program and told the firewall it is safe, then re-booted the PC. Nothing happens. The e-mail scanner is still disabled. Is says the program is allowed in the firewall and i've listed it as trusted, but still nothing??

Help ???

Forget about AVG and go with MSE. 98% efficiency and not a resource hog.
