Ok, relative noob here. Win 8.1

Using KIS + MBAM Pro (permissions allowed for each)

Was thinking of switching to KAV + MBAM Pro + GlassWire or BiniSoft Windows Firewall control as add-on to MS FW.

As a relative novice should I leave KIS in (rarely if ever receive outgoing or any permission requests) and let it do its job

or try Windows FW (+ KAV + MBAM Pro) with one of the above add-ons and learn to monitor/control traffic (worried about request for action on an action that I am unfamiliar with...)

Windows Firewall Control (no eye-candy but came highly recommended- but also keeps you busy....)

BTW, why DOESN'T KIS FW ask me re: outgoing....ever?

I don't know what "KIS" is - to me that means "Keep It Simple". And with that thought, I just use Malwarebytes + Microsoft Security Essentials and the standard built-in Windows Firewall.
I've never needed more than that.
