[QUOTE="FleischmannTV, post: 595075, member: 23687"] First things first. CF with cruelsister's recommended settings is excellent protection. I am afraid this might get lost once a discussion becomes too theoretical and paranoia fueled. I also think this is one of the best setups out there, just not a panacea. As a home user, I think this is more than enough at the moment. In case of Word the best defense still is not to enable macros for documents from untrustworthy sources. If you are a homer user and not inside a big corporation where your job entails opening countless Office documents each day received my e-mail, if possible, don't open those documents at all. In regards to setting up CF for this kind of threat I can only speculate. Does Office still function properly if the document is run manually inside Comodo's sandbox with tightened settings? I don't know, probably not. HIPS rules constraining Word itself further might help to some extent. But then again this is currently so far of the rails that agonizing over it is not necessary.
