    Hi
    Sorry I know it is not really polite to say search it.
    It's just that I am from the phone so I can't really search and copy-paste links.

    So if you search the terms like "comodo Internet security anti executable" you should find it.
    There is a nce tutorial from MrBrian (sorry if I can't recall name correctly)
    I don't think it wil be difficult to find.
    Just put those terms in the forum search and look for post by above mentioned poster.

    Hi All

    Thank you

    To Jav I did search it and found nothing.

    To Mootan thank you for a more positive and user friendly reply.

    Your comments about the link put Javs observation in perspective.

    Why o why is that there is always one ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ lurking in the wings when all I want is help?

    Thanks
    again

    Terry

    Sorry, if you think I offended you.
    But I hoped I explained why I couldn't post the link.

    won't do it on it's own tho, remember a HIPS is as good as the one answering its inquiries... :thumb: but in your case, I'm sure it would even do it eye-blinded... hahaha :D

    I guess running SSM and EMSI Malware (Fileguard switched off), BB and Surf Protection switched on, qualifies.

    As to commonsense that is in eyes of the beholder...;)

    That's the reason I keep saying that it's your security policy that protects you, not your security software. Policy dictates configuration ---> configuration obeys policy.

    Securing a system without a security policy as a guide is like mixing the pieces of a dozen large jigsaw puzzles together, then trying to assemble one of them without a having picture. The pieces represent the various security apps available, the different rules and options you can use in them, your system settings, settings for individual apps, internet access, etc. All of the pieces have uses but may not fit the picture you're building.

    i switched to Chrome a about a year ago anyway.

    like i said, i think No-Script offers excellent protection.
    i just don't want to be bothered with building a whitelist or decide what page should be allowed what scripts etc...:blink:
