    I have just installed Comodo BoClean, and I think I liked it coz trojan is the most hard to detect and having this on my pc adds some peace of mind surfing the net. :)

    But when I update it, after a minute this pop-up appear. How can I solved this problem? o_O :rolleyes: Maybe u can give me some quick fix to this those who uses this program a longtime. ....I am on dial-up.

    I have been having problems updating since yesterday. The last update I have is November 4 at 10:12:01. I have not been able to connect to their servers since then. It either times out or I get a message to try back later.

    Thanks. It turns out the latest version of Outpost Firewall with the updater rules that I let apply aren't working well. If I set it to "allow most" it works.

    I might consider using sandboxie as a "more" secured browsing process than a simple account privilege control as it doesn't protect against infection unless you have a stringent user policy configured and in place. Any way sandboxie is better protection over all for many other reasons...

    Hello Sweater,

    Unsure, I have never used it on dial up. My take is that since you are on dial up you are more than likely using an antiquated PC as well. Then my answer is probably yes... but not necessarily. The impact might be more during the loading process of the sandboxed applications which require it to create the "Infrastructure" in which the sandboxed application operates and which you can and should delete after each usage...

    I am not sure of the modem controls overhead as it relates to a sandbox...

    As a matter of fact I am writing this within a sandboxed version of Firefox with several tabs open to active web pages used for my site administration and this forum. I have never experienced any Network performance problems or drops as a result of a sandboxed browsing session...

    Perhaps providing you with some stats as per our own test system might be of use. Here is a picture of the processor & memory utilization:
