    This is apparently a never-ending story for TF...

    How would a computer illiterate user know how to solve this serious problem? Therefore it's better not to install TF to someone who has a limited knowledge regarding Windows/computers because maybe you ain't around when they need your help solving TF related problems. Initially TF seems to be a perfect solution for n00bs, but I'm afraid it isn't.

    <<neverending>> I found references to disappearing keyboards in threatfire predecessor product cyberhawk posted mid-2007 on the PCTools forum. There's been a bunch of problems posted since Aug 2008...and who know's how many haven't complained because they have no keyboards..
    <<computer illiterate user >>
    I couldn't agree more. I rec'd it to 2 less capable users because I thought it was harmless and liked the zero day protection. I was embarrassed to email them back and tell them to pull it off. Even experienced users will have to invest considerable time...it took me half a day to find and implement an effective solution. It's kind of like one of those dated viruses that sits dormant for awhile then kills your PC on a certain date. Threatfire worked fine for over a month till yesterday when it killed the keyboards on 2 PC's at the same time.

    I had no keyboard problems with TF, but it seems that TF slows down my machine :'(

    ...YET!!!
    I had no problems for a month...then it hit 2 different PC's at once...If it hit everybody, the ratings on cnet, etc, would reflect that and people would avoid it...as I now wish I had.
    Perhaps those using Vista are less vulnerable...I'm exclusively XP.

    This is why I never install TF in my 'real' system.

    Only in VM's with undo on. :doubt:

    No keyboard problems for me back a few versions, the last time I tried Threatfire.
    But several seperate tries it always ran fine for a couple of days then TF would eat 100% of my CPU and I would have to manually shut down my pc.
    No more though, personaly i'm done with this app.

    That also happened on my wife's machine, but I don't know why. Is there a reason? Hm, TF seems to have some bugs :oops:
