[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 714526, member: 7463"] The issues that some have had with Comodo really are user related in that some not necessary and potentially conflicting options may be used. With just the cloud AV, Sandbox, and Firewall active CF essentially lies quiescent on the system; and I think that any Windows update issues may have a source other than Comodo. But to the Firewall component- an assumption that Comodo makes (rightfully so) is that either the HIPS or Sandbox will also be active, whereas this is not the case for Stand-alone OutBound alerting firewalls. As I'm being (usually) vague, I guess an example is in order: 1). Consider the excellent WFC- the guys at BiniSoft realize that their users may have sub-optimal protection backing up their Firewall, so they have coded it so that all malicious mechanisms that they are aware of are covered. For instance, in the case of malware that will inject into another process, and that process tries to connect out, WFC will block this silently without any input needed from the user (like I said, the product is excellent). 2). With CF (using my setup as an example), the malicious attempt at injection will be stopped in Containment before it can occur, so there is no need for the Firewall to be overly burdened by things that it will never see. So we have a different Philosophy here- one set of products (like WFC and other Outbound alerting firewalls) will attempt to stop stuff on an already infected system. CF, on the other hand, will prevent the system from getting infected in the first place. Either will prevent things like injectors from harming you, but I certainly know which method I prefer!
