Kerio hips driver

Status Not open for further replies. I am on my fourth version of Sunbelt's Kerio Personal Firewall, 4. Ever since I originally installed this firewall and subsequent versions I have gotten nothing but BSOD's regardless of the version in my earlier tech support foray they told me it was a known issue and the only way it could be fixed was an updated version; didn't work. The culprit every time has been the Kerio driver fwdrv. Anyway, I contacted Sunbelt Tech Support and they asked for a ton of computer spec information which I gave them.

Obviously my system is quite fine and I did everything correctly in installing and configuring this firewall because this is their "solution": Thank you for contacting Sunbelt Software! You can just simply disable HIPS from the command line and see if you receive any errors. You can also disable NIPS and application behavior blocking and see if any of these help the errors. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. If I disable them isn't this defeating the purpose of this firewall, or at least severly limiting it?!

My gut tells me no. It may very well get rid of the crashes, but at what cost? I agree that disabling the above sort of defeats the object. Maybe you should consider uninstalling Kerio and installing either the free Zonealarm or Comodo firewall programmes.

Regards Howard. Thanks Howard for your help. Sunbelt was certainly less demanding. Can the free ZA protect outbound traffic? I ask because I do some online shopping. Now I need to ask another favor if you don't mind. Could you please read the attached Minidump. I just had another one but unlike all the other one's in the past that were all due to Kerio's fwdrv. Can this still be due to the Kerio Firewall causing other issues now? Do you notice anything in the Minidump that would confirm or not confirm my suspicions it is Kerio?

Thanks again. Your minidump crashes at ntkrnlpa. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to A.

I started the service. Peter McNeill. Try this. You can even try by omitting the first 2 steps if openvpn managed to install. Be aware it's fiddly.

It took me a few attempts doing this to get it to work properly. In reply to Peter McNeill's post on April 14, Joined: Nov 9, Posts: 1, While there is no modular installation, in Sunbelt's firewall you can turn off their tiny-HIPS from a command line.

You can use behavior section or turn it off - it's identical to what you've seen in SSM regarding parent-child. Works great. Rules are identical to Kerio.

Great local host watching. Logs are very detailed. Stable with SSM as well. And Malwarebytes which I don't use real-time because it's too big. The one I use is v. Glad to see that you are "hanging in there" despite your health issues.

Behold Eck: Why Sygate versus Kerio? I use it on-demand only. About my health issue, I think I can keep things under control, but you never know for sure, know what I mean?

Behold Eck, It has to do with the requirement to deny applications use of the localhost proxy ports such as those in Avast, Avira, NOD, many others
