Advice Request COMODO Firewall: browser exploits and flash drive attacks

[TheMalwareMaster]

How does COMODO Firewall (at my settings) deal with browser exploit, if a person is running a browser which has not been sandboxed? Will the containment or the HIPS be able to block the malware dropped in memory?
Are the Containment and HIPS (at my settings) able to protect from autorun Attacks coming from infected flash drives?
This are my COMODO Firewall settings: COMODO - Maximum Security.cfgx

Right. I immediately deleted the text from my post -- apparently, I don't have permission to delete the post itself -- but if you received it as email, please ignore.

You raised an interesting but difficult subject, and I don't know enough about it to answer it properly.
What I can say is that in Advanced Protection/Miscellaneous/Do heuristic analysis... you can click on "certain applications", and then a window opens where you can enable embedded code detection for more processes. This will increase your exploit protection. If you get too many prompts from a certain process, and you can't find a workaround on the Comodo forum, then just disable that process like it was before.

Yeah, I enabled the detection of embedded code for all values
