    LooL, not really safe and also the long initialization that can last up to 10 minutes doesn´t take much to enforce security level.

    Since I posted a link to this thread elsewhere, Here is the corresponding back link.

    There's some additional experiences with Comodo V3 described in that thread.

    Anyone wanna take a try at skinning?

    Windows XP

    Code:
    C:\Documents and Settings\"Username"\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Data\ResFiles
    Windows Vista

    Code:
    C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Data\ResFiles
    And you need to show hidden files.

    Show off your work if you have done anything :D.

    I am getting no issues with Comodo. Then again I dont use Avast. Comodo 3.0 works great along side NOD32 3.0

    You seem to be a ZA freak. Have you look at your resource using. ZA uses around 36k-39k. Comodo only around 10-15k.

    Not at all
    OK. That is insignificant to me. You are talking differences in K, not even M, and I have G. Who's freaking here?

    For some reason people often call thousands of KBytes as "K" rather than Megabytes or Mebibytes.

    At least file monitoring is still on for some files, that can be a Good-Thing™ if you don't have a HIPS or a Very-Bad-Thing™ if you have one.

    Zone Alarm Anti-spyware which has the same Triple Defense Firewall as the Pro version, runs anywhere from 23 to 44 K on my 512MB Ram PC, but System Idle Process stays between 98 and 99 CPU Usage which is what I care about. I want desperately to give Comodo Pro 3.0 a try, but I honestly think it needs a few more program updates before it can be fully trusted to run all right. This isn't meant to put down Comodo 3.0, as I felt the same way about Zone Alarm at one time and this was after many releases. LOL.

    LoooL :D :D
    Indeed. As I said appinit is too vulnerable Comodo should go deeper into the kernel it also lacks of speed, they are too slow but still much better then ZA. LooL.

    ggf31416: Egemen replied. It is supposed to intercept the changes as they happen (like you said, file protection etc.) even with D+ off. But if you allowed explorer.exe to modify protected files, and use it for this test, you won't be prompted.
    This raises other questions for me, i'm still not totally convinced of not needing hashes. I replied and wait further clarification.

    I have just downloaded v3 and I have to admit I do not know ow to set it up. Is there a tutorial for setting it up or is it safe to use with the default settings. Would someone post a reference on suggested settings?

    By default explorer.exe is allowed to do almost everything. If you think that it's too permisive you can change the permissions from allow to ask or block.
    Of course, I changed that before doing the tests and as I said I received the prompts under normal mode.

    Explorer SHOULD be allowed to do a lot. Even if you make your own rules, a lot is allowed. If Firefox gets modified due to my rules, i'm not notified. It will take me a while to sink in this notion of no hash used.

    I routinely assign ? to Windows Explorer in ZoneAlarm, which means Ask, and it never does. Explorer does not need authorities.

    We're discussing files and Defense+, NOT the Firewall and application rules.
