    I say keep changing until you get the right setup for you. I personally I won't be changing anytime soon. I'm satisfied with my setup. Although I do have one more possible setup I might try soon


    I will have the perfect setup tomorrow lol :D

    After a long time using this setup on my notebook:

    Sandboxie, Mamutu, Look'n'stop, Hitman Pro, WOT

    I switch to " in my sig".

    On my Desktop I was using Outpost SS 7.5.1 but I wasn't satisfied and have replaced it with Emsi Anti-malware.

    I'm waiting for the perfect combo in my opinion:
    Panda Cloud Pro 2.0, Mamutu, Hitman Pro.

    Just FYI the latest Chrome/Chromium doesn't support that flag anymore.

    Someone may get angry but in my opinion OA++ is 10 times better than Outpost SS these days.
    The only problem that OA has are some bugs that persist some time.

    P.S. I would exchange my Outpost Security Suite 7.5.1 license for Sandboxie year license. If no one is interested i would give it away to someone from this Thread.

    I'm not running latest Chromium. And, won't be updating anytime soon. Do you happen to have an official page where I could read more why the flag was killed?

    I'm trying to find, but so far nothing.


    Thanks

    I had an one year license for Outpost Security Suite and gave it away. To me it is very buggy and severely effects the performance on my laptop on windows 7 x64.

    I can't find the commit. Apparently it was just too much work, it kept breaking things.

    Sorta testing Comodo DNS... can't really tell if it's working. I have it on my router.

    Here's one from the Blocked Sites page, which as you can see, is still being blocked by Comodo.
    Again, until they come up with a test page, this is the simplest method.

    I know it was blocked... that's the warning I got when I went there before posting the screenie. :cool:
    Just keep pasting the urls they report on that thread until one shows up as blocked.
    Pitiful way to have to check, but it works.
    By the way, so you're saying that ipconfig /all won't tell a user if it is working, just that it is configured as DNS server, that it?
    (I know you have it on your router, I'm talking about users who have their network connections configured).

    Yeah =p I just wasn't even sure if Comodo DNS was running properly.

    If you run ipconfig /all it'll show you your DNS servers, which will confirm that you've set Comodo as yours. But it won't actually show if it's working if you never see a legitimate blocking. It may be blocked by some browser settings or who knows what - it's nice to have confirmation.

    I installed a new firewall last night and decided to check the Norton test page (I was running Norton DNS at the time). It came back "Your computer is not currently using Norton DNS", which caught me by surprise. I reset it and checked again and all was well. So I agree, it's nice to have conformation. :)

    Yup. I think Comodo should get on that.

    It's easy to bump them up or down on the list, according to which one I feel like using.
    Takes 10 seconds.
    Comodo on top, Norton on bottom in this current image...

    Here is an example of how I secure applications with Mamutu.

    As you can see everything is blocked except for the two boxes necessary for me to run the program.

    This is the way I have most of my programs - and if any of them are attacked they're very limited.
