What is your security setup these days?

Unless you have applied Applocker, SRP, SUA, UAC or something like that, you're going to get things far worse than a BSOD.

 

Agree, another prime target for botnet zombie

 

Or perhaps Frmarine knows what the hell they are doing...unless it is being said that the system in question is full of malware and they just don't care. At that point, I'd like to offer a very large, steaming hot cup of "WTF".

 

Hope you get disconnected soon by your ISP.

 

What he said!
Indeed, the problem is NOT solved.

 

frmarine - Your computer could be used to launch DDoS attacks against other computers.

 

Following your advices I have added a third party firewall, I have disabled the Defense+ included in the COMODO firewall because I didnt know if it would be compatible with MSE and Malwarebytes PRO. Should I turn the Defense+ on?

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
COMODO Firewall 5.3 Defense+ OFF
Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0
Malwarebytes Pro (Active)
Sandboxie 3.54 64bit
User Account Control (UAC): max settings & standard account
Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 2.0.0.3: Maximum Security Settings
Data Execution Prevention (Opt Out);
Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (Opt Out);
Address Space Layout Randomization (Opt In);
Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI)
Sandboxed Firefox 4: WOT, Adblock Plus (Pop-up Addon, Fanboy´s List, Malware Domains), NoScript, LastPass, Search Engine Security
Norton DNS

Changes:
*Added COMODO Firewall

 

Defense+ is compatible as long as you don't have other HIPS programs. In fact, there's little point of replace Windows Firewall with Comodo without Defense+.

 

Does MSE 2 or Malwarebytes PRO provide HIPS? Thanks

 

No, they don't.

 

change to comodo uninstall appguard for now

 

Thanks for the feedback! ^

 

You should turn on Comodo D+.

 

oh gee, what a surprise!

at least, Appguard lasted you almost 2 weeks.

Are you sure that it was the Firewall that was giving you false alarms?
Since I have never heard about a Firewall sending out FP's

 

For a short short while

 

Anything special planned when this thread hits 1 million views? That's quite an achievement.

 

hopefully retire it to the Hall of Fame?

 

Total waste of bandwidth

Following you advice, Defense+ is ON again. I will try to learn more about Defense+. I have seen that a Sandbox is included and that you can make programs run in it automatically (like Sandboxie Paid).
Thanks for your help again.

 

I have to disagree with that.
I run both CIS and sandboxie. They do two very different things. CIS sandbox is more of a restriction than an actual sandbox. Its very helpful when you've allowed a file to be moved from sandboxie, to a unsandboxed folder. Don't get me wrong I love sandboxie but its not 100%. Sometimes common sense isn't common and files get excuted out of the sandbox. CIS is very good at containing things. Whether you want it to or not.

 

I will use COMODO sandbox to run spotify automatically in it, I dont trust them any more since the malvert incident. (I dont have sandboxie paid)

 

I made a temporary change due to a known issue.
I removed VIPRE Antivirus Premium on one system and replaced with VIPRE Antivirus Standard and Online Armor 5.0.
