Erik Albert: That makes good sense. Like you, I keep my Windows partition strictly for the Windows OS and critical security apps, and back it...
I found Comodo 3 and Threatfire perfectly compatible. I found it odd that Comodo 3 was not compatible with Comodo BoClean. Go figure!
I understand the statement, but why? What makes hosts files a hopeless technology? For example, I'm not alone in considering the Online Armor...
I also found Comodo 'noisy', but I would prefer a 'noisy' HIPS that checks every 'unknown' program to one that's 'quiet' and makes a risky...
