Ok so I tried Comodo Firewall and it worked a treat however it didnt show me what I needed to see, I have just noticed that with the nVidia drivers that cause the problem the digital vibrance default setting got changed from 0% in older drivers to 50% in the newer ones.

I guess there is something in the program that calls for the default settings to be used and because the newer drivers were not around when the software was written its making the new 50% default change because 50% wasn't the default when the software was written 0% was.

My only option is to use older drivers which isn't the best because they are buggy with the software but the but the newer ones run great apart from the digital vibrance problem.

Have spleen some time googling this problem and it seems I'm not the only one suffering from it, other gamers have reported it happening when they run older software on the newer drivers also.
