[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 651088, member: 32547"] That's good. I am using Proactive because I like to see alerts from normal programs. I believe it alerts even for "Trusted" applications. I like to see firewall the alert once and then allow or block (just a few but some devs are sketchy with connection usage or just not a well known dev). I have HIPS on Safe Mode. Still working on how to best configure it. At one point, I eliminated all HIPS rules except some for scripts I have introduced onto the system and then the Comodo defaults. At that point, I was seeing clearly the power of Comodo HIPS, but this requires a great deal of understanding. Great that Comodo can automatically make use of the "Exclusions" for each HIPS rule from HIPS rules alerts, but also not something a novice will notice in the settings or know how to choose from an alert. Example of this is Safe Mode HIPS rules for Explorer.exe. Any time an "Unrecognized" process is opened via the start menu or from an open folder, HIPS will create an Explorer.exe alert for the program. If I allow and remember, Comodo auto-creates an "Exclusion" for the Explorer.exe rule. The best part is it can be "Allow" or "Block" either way. This is really powerful for my usage. It takes HIPS to a second level of choice and configurability. It would be great if Comodo added something similar somehow with the firewall to easily allow locally connected machines on a home network to communicate. I mean a way for me to identify which are local machines using an alert or whatever. This way all the local traffic could easily be monitored separately from traffic that travels across the internet.
