    I'll be using Comodo's DNS soon. Once I can stop relying on a host file for adblocking.

    Chrome won't have proper adblocking for another 2 months. So, no. But I've seen it do alright.

    IEBlog wrote back, but only said this:

    I’m told that “the virus scan component of the download phase consists of running all registered IOfficeAntivirus scanners against the downloaded file.”

    I'm not sure what those are, still looking into it, but that would seem to make it possible to link an on-demand scanner to IE9 downloads.

    I am also looking around for info on the IOfficeAntiVirus interface.
    I thought I might find a registry value that could be changed or something.
    So far, just a lot of information that is way beyond my comprehension.

    Testing out Zemana, got a free 1year subscription.

    EDIT: Easy setup. Simple settings. Not sure it's going to be useful for me personally but I like it.

    Switching back and forth every couple of weeks between Norton DNS and Comodo Secure DNS.
    KeePass is awesome. Wish I had started using it a long time ago. ;)

    How are you liking Comodo and Norton DNS? Noticing any difference? Doing any tests?

    I never had that issue J. Not sure why OA would be doing that. Oh well.

    Maybe your pc just doesn't like OA and made you remove it before the bacon gets cooked :D

    Since I learned that ClearCloud (my preferred) was going by the wayside, I began using Norton, Google and Comodo.
    Google, I learned, wasn't doing anything to block malicious sites.
    I want blocking from a DNS service.
    Norton quickly became my service of choice.
    I have toyed with Comodo every now and then because of this very odd feeling that one service begins to get stale and slightly slower, and it feels like a bump in performance when I switch.
    That's about as anecdotal as it gets, and a long way from any sort of empirical testing as can be, but it feels right. :)
    How about you and Norton/Comodo DNS services?

    Yeah, Google never blocks any sites (it doesn't believe in that I guess) but it focuses on server-side security to prevent DNS poisoning attacks.

    I'm considering moving to Comodo/Norton once Chrome gets proper adblocking. I'll probably just go with Norton since I already use Comodo's Firewall and Defense+ and I like to spread out which products I use =p

    I mean, if Comodo blocks something at the DNS level I'll assume they have the file blocked too. Best to use Norton to get a different take.

    I know you use a handful of Chrome extensions, but don't know if you'd tried AdBlock? I am very, very satisfied with it.

    Adblock doesn't block in-video ads and it can't prevent http requests. Thankfully Chrome 14 and 15 will have this.
