[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 825270, member: 63857"] I use CF the CS way but I have found after set-up that the only way I know what it blocked is by opening up Advanced View of the GUI and reviewing whether CFW Blocked anything in the four categories: Contained Apps, Unrecognized Files, Network Intrusions, and Blocked Applications, and then proceed accordingly. Sometimes I have found a program listed but received no notification that CFW took an action. The only other indicator is when a program is virtualized by a Green colored frame encircling the GUI of the program in question. Only other sort of notification is if I receive a Windows Error Message when I am working with a program. I appreciate what CS has accomplished with bullet-proofing the security of my PC but I wish there was an alternate way to use her settings but at the same time, receive Pop-Up alerts when it takes an action. As you can see from the screenshot of Containment there is only one setting of "Do Not Show Privilege Elevation Alerts" where you have several options but if you uncheck it, you are only presented with "Run Isolated" which I assume means it will present me with a pop-up to make a choice. I have a feeling activating HIPS will do what I am inquiring about but it is very noisy as I have read elsewhere, whereas Containment used as CS suggested is less noisy and just as effective. No happy medium, I guess? Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
