Don't worry it's not another which is better.

I'm just about to install and came to the selection screen, but was wondering if I should install it all ?

It gives me the options to install :

Basic firewall
Defense+
Leak Protection

I've read in quite a few places about not installing Defense+, but what the leak protection ? Should I install that or not ?
 
Leak protection just attemps to prevent programs from circumventing the firewall, for instance by hijacking a trusted application to transmit the data for them, instead of sending it themselves. Some firewalls won't pick up on this sort of thing.
 
i use firewall and defence+, works fine, not got a clue what leak protection is tbh, there website might be handy :p

Had a quick look over at their forums but couldn't really find anything about it.

Ah I'll leave that on then.

Appreciate the help.
