Notes by Staff Team

  2. This setup may cause performance issues, system instability or conflicts between programs, and can hinder the effectiveness of the installed antivirus products.

I suggest you open a thread with that problem to see if someone using Comodo says something to you, I haven't had that problem. Only when I use the sanbox does not allow copy and paste into wordpad. :giggle:

In which case you don't even need the sandbox. You're using CS settings. Done. If you must have a "solution" to this, please open a new thread as @bribon77 suggests.

good setup but I really think it's waste of money to use emsisoft with comodo firewall because CF will block everything bypassing emsisoft's signatures => emsi's BB won't be able to show its strength unless you allow something to run outside CF's sandbox
any paid AV is unnecessary IMO unless you have it for free

A free AV with decent signatures is sufficient

You can set Chrome to block all third party cookies. Some say, it breaks some sites for them but that's highly unlikely. I personally never had to enable third party cookies for any site. Alternately you can install the Privacy Badger extension. It's not based on any filter list. It learns as you browse the web and block any cookies that tracks you.
Also you can manually add additional filter lists in Adguard from FilterLists | Subscriptions for uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, AdGuard, ...
Eg: I don't care about cookies, I don't care about newsletters, Fanboy's Annoyance List, Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List, CrapBlock General, etc are some of the useful ones.
Edit: I personally don't use Adguard desktop so I don't know if adding these filter lists would slow things down or not.
