In the past I would have said Linux hands down, but these days people are finding that you can be compromised and get malware no matter what OS...
On XP Pro SP3: I have Automatic Updating, BITS, and DCOM all disabled. So I have to set AU & DCOM to Auto & Start them, and BITS to manual, no...
Sounds like my concerns are validated here. I could give it a whirl though to test it out myself. What I want is something with only resident...
Wow... not even 24 hours passes and you've already addressed the issue. That is being on top of things. Many thanks. I believe this will get...
Yup... and I dig your sig: SRP fan boy. Awesome measure indeed. Though I haven't eliminated "all" loopholes, I run one that's a great balance...
This is just absolutely terrible practice. I wonder how many other integrated Windows measures have bypasses & backdoors inserted into them that...
Hey, thanks for chiming in here again bud, and confirming my hunch. Perhaps it's just my ego talking, but I consider myself a good judge of...
I like that they're addressing issues/bugs/vulnerabilities as quickly as possible. To me that's a good thing. But what I don't like is assigning...
On Win7, with your specs MSE will have a virtually non-existent footprint... or at least one you won't recognize. And since it's 1'st party and...
Well up until a couple weeks ago I was still on a Dell Dimension 3000. And on low specs .NET FW is bloat personified on XP. Now with an Inspiron...
I know that in the past, even if you did this the modules, drivers, files and whatnot would all actually install with the program... the modules...
It happens to the best of us man, wasn't busting your balls or anything. When I'm installing some apps and/or applying updates I treat them as...
It's 32 MB actually... and I'll let you know when it happens ; ) Seriously, nothing I DL is ever that big. As I said I've already gotten...
Some info. about your setup/OS would make all the difference. If you're using a post-XP OS, MSE has virtually no footprint to my experience. And...
I've definitely seen this happen before too, yes. The only way to make sure it won't again is to disable Automatic Updating & BITS in your...
I can only imagine recovering something from the box without scanning it, or that Avast didn't detect at the time. And either ignoring a bunch of...
It's always the AV I recommend to other people and put on their boxes. People that maybe couldn't handle an outbound FW, HIPS,...
That can happen when you image/reimage too. In fact v5 of Macrium Reflect almost hosed my box once, so I went back to trusty 4.2, which never let...
My speeds with them have been... inconsistent. Most of the time it's fine, but sometimes it does indeed lag and have connectivity issues. I...
The simple checkbox in the options for FF telling sites not to track me. A bunch of about:config tweaks, including all caching disabled....
I would say that claim is a bit overzealous, and many a vendor is guilty of that. It certainly will not prevent you from "getting" malware. It...
Isolate everything you can. And for me that process starts when I'm installing the OS and setting up my partitions. Don't allow programs to log...
I assume you mean you want to close them at the OS level, so that even if say your router/FW failed for some reason, the ports would already be...
Right... or the firmware in your router? For both, it's probably been a MUCH longer time than Comodo 5.10. Yet it is still doing a perfectly...
It aint goin anywhere here either. I was reluctant to use it for awhile because I thought it would be difficult... same with Sandboxie. And as...
Separate names with a comma.
