As I haven't been kicked off MT (yet) for off-topic posts please let me quickly present the Comodo trial against the API exploits.

The default settings will fail against many things, this one included. I will never bother to use defaults in any trial as under no circumstance would I use CF in that manner. As it is no great burden (a few seconds?) to bump the protection level up why on earth would a user not do this?
You can easily find many topics and/or Videos about "Comodo Breaches" and inevitably these folks have the Sandbox settings untouched. Is this reticence or lack of knowledge the fault of the product? If you'll allow me to butcher a line from Shakespeare:
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves"
Don't use defaults.

In real world scenario CIS default settings are very strong with very good usability. The only thing I change is setting FW to ask for unknown.
Offcoz custom settings are more protective but affects usability too especially when CIS sometimes gives probs with legit apps. HJLBX & me have talked about this quite a lot. Especially connections are affected i.e sometimes CIS generate FW alerts for trusted apps & custom settings i.e FW set to block for unknown in this scenario will block the connections for the trusted apps.
For me tests are tests & good to know how a security software handles threats/handles threats with different config, etc... Real world scenario is not the same like tests & products have different modules to provide protection with layered approach.
CIS defaults is not weak. Just as custom settings sets more restrictions for the programs i.e in CIS case restrictions for unknown programs i.e not allow unknown programs to fully operate or block them, defaults too provides an equivalent protection for unknown i.e one can hit block on the alert.
I do wish CIS provides more options on the alert for "Run Isolated" i.e expand options with all the sandbox levels, Full Virt - Default, Limited, Restricted, etc...

sorry i did not get it, why you have to kick out,
hey this forum is just a debate place and this not dictator conference you had to kicked out, do not say anything like this, just pour more videos like this. you know something, crystal has so many cuts and dimension, same way do technology and as well people who testing it, with out these, then nobody knows what worth the technology they are using as well as people who testing it. so for each and everything in this forums, some debates, arguments, even quarreling will be there, then only forums become more interesting with out it it is like dead animal, not interesting that is the point, keep up the good thing coming up. we love to watch it. ps: come on lets start another debate..........................

KMR- It was a joke (I guess a bad one) on my part. I went a little overboard the other night (morning, actually). I had just finished up a project that I had been working on for about 18 hours/day for a few months and had just come back from celebrating with my team. I am aware of no Universe, either real or parallel where posting on the Internet when still tipsy from drink is ever a good thing.
In short, MT is a wonderful place and I'm proud to be a member.

hi, only one request make those videos pouring in and give us something to argue, debate, even quarrel without these its boring.......
so please do not stop that whatever you are doing.......
ps: always remember every point or even every problem has so many dimensions and even every holes (where ever they may be) still carry so many dimensions, so lets start over again
