@Scoobs72 -- why were you uninstalling Comodo before it broke Windows? @burebista -- do you miss any of Comodo's advanced setup options now you...
I'm after a new free firewall and have noticed that people here either seem to love Comodo (best features etc.) or hate it ("will never install...
yeah, saw that... what I couldn't ascertain is what configuration options are in the "enhanced user interface" that would be missing in the free...
I know one of the things the free version of Avast lacks is advanced configuration options, but to what extent? I'll be running it with Outpost...
OK, scrap this thread :) Thanks everyone for comments and suggestions. I'll start a new thread when I decide upon a specific AV product.
it wasn't intended as an A vs B thread... I was simply seeing if there were any new favorites out there among those in the know and it appears...
With NOD32 sliding down the various rankings I monitor, some incompatibility issues and my desire for change after a year of NODding I'm in the...
yeah, started a thread there, too. From what I read, however, most of the problems relate to XP, not Vista.
I did install outpost after NOD32 but it's still a bit odd because I also installed NOD32 v3 before Outpost on my XP machine. I guess the...
I just configured a new PC running Vista SP1, Outpost 2009 Pro and Eset NOD32 v4. All works well enough together but I have a question about why...
Thanks Manny... in that case I made an exception for brightcove.com and got thing working again, but I've since determined the ad keywords you...
Yup, my settings are identical to yours... in fact I only block ads by keywords, not even size. Everything else is set to "allow". A classic...
yeah, I considered that but I use both Firefox and IE7 and was hoping for a nice ad-blocking app that worked for both. Outpost does a very good...
I have Outpost Pro (6.5) web filter set to block ads and nothing else (all other filters set to "allow") but it also blocks all active content...
great, thanks all
gah... that's not fair! Outpost's acs.exe is using around 35K on my machine and op_mon.exe about 2.5K. Better than ZAP (which was running about...
I just installed Outpost Pro Firewall and turned off every auto update feature I could find in the settings yet the log files show it is still...
BT is gonna be my main issue methinks. Every other potential culprit is off already (my restore points are created on startup only). I do want to...
Yeah, indexing and auto-run are the two most common reasons for constant HDD activity... I hit those very early on in my diagnostics. I solved...
Good point... I just did that (for op_mon.exe and acs.exe). Having looked at what the machine is doing in the background using filemon I...
I assumed it was ZA because after spending hours shutting down various services one at a time it was only when ZA was shut down that the activity...
Thanks all... I did a thorough uninstall of ZAP and installed Outpost Pro. Smooth install and so far so good. A bit ligher on the resources by the...
I have used ZoneAlarm Pro firewall (7.0) for a few years and endured the bugs and hiccups but been fairly happy. Finally I've decided it's time...
