[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 114834, post: 1094776"] I've played with CIS since back in the day before it was a suite and just a firewall. With a knowledgeable user in the right hands, it can be an effective measure. The problem is most users do not understand the operating system and its functions well enough to do so. This not only for all the advanced options and tweaks, but also to understand the issues that locking a system down with cause, and of course I have yet to see this product bug free. Its a fun tool for enthusiasts to play with, but honestly I would never use it as my daily driver for security. As before, I did not enter this thread to go product bashing. I came in to clear some misleading things up because too much emphasis is placed on improper testing methods and sheds a terrible light on products more than capable of keeping users safe. People like myself, use this, as I did, when I discovered this website back in 2011, trying to learn about securing my system. My first year around this place was full of listening to misleading crap that led me to multiple fresh installs from system crashes. Of course on the bright side I'm became proficient with fresh installs. Many of those were attributed to playing with Comodo. I can remember just getting it installed and having to get through the first restart without the system crashing was a feat. This is all fun and games for enthusiasts but we must remember not all who frequent here are those exactly, and they need straight honest answers not misled. Saying CIS is for average users is misleading for example. Saying tools that require input from users is absolutely ok for average to novice users "which so we are straight here, means they do not know the operating system, its services and uses well enough" to know how to handle such an application, is as stated misleading. Its not rocket science, and all understand what I'm conveying here. [/QUOTE]
