I love Comodo's auto-containment feature :)

Isn't this module + Cyberlock kind of redundant? Why would you need an anti-executable to stop untrusted files from being ran, if such files will be contained by Comodo anyways? :)
Thanks for feedback. Agreed, Comodo's containment is great.

The two are sort of redundant together though CL blocked the POCs people posted about to kill Comodo processes. I have a lifetime CL licence and it's very low on resource usage. I haven't seen any conflicting issues running both.

I can also use the Smart Firewall feature in CL creating LOLbin block rules in windows firewall like Andy Ful's Firewall Hardening.WF runs along side CIS as CIS doesn't disable it.

Anyway, having temporarily removed CIS for 26H2 update, planning to do fresh CIS install later.
 
Been trialling Malwarebytes Browser Guard though it's been making me do captcha for incognito searches. I might look at other options. So far using Quad9 working pretty well but still testing. Osprey would be what I would revert to if not using system set dns.
