[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 701918, member: 67091"] [USER=11847]@josinpaul[/USER], thanks for your answer. As I said, I really didn't ask about AV/AM along with CF. Also, I didn't ask about my browser protection. My original question is still open: There are lot of browser online-dangers that I don't know/understand how CF+CS' settings could block them. Your explanation as other explanations are based in the past, not based in today zero-day attacks or future zero-day attacks able to harm bypassing CF+CS' settings. Also, is not based in pure online-harms. For example, if a malicious script can steal passwords damaging files stored in the cloud, or if trough fake webpages can steal physical addresses, phone numbers, personal info, credit cards, bank accounts etc... it can harm more than a ransomware, worm, virus etc trough the hard disk/memory etc. Again, for me the trend of the focus should be browsers online vulnerabilities. And in this context, it is interesting to know/understand how CS recommends CF to average users, to be used alone and without AV/AM etc. Regarding WebFiltering with hosts... I don't like hosts. First, I don't know how to update the hosts with the UMBRA solution at the link you attached me (thank you!). I am not going to be every day updating this hosts in CF. And certainly, average users never will do that. It is much more intelligent to use an AV/AM which takes care of malicious online webpages. Second, hosts files have lot of mistakes and redundancies. Third, I need to check system resources impact (RAM, CPU etc) of UMBRA solution, in order to evaluate that CF can deal with more than +300k blocked items. [/QUOTE]
