[QUOTE="bogdan, post: 1657, member: 2"] Nice guide. Although you might want to mention that Comodo Geek Budy is optional and what the New Private Network Detected pop-up means. The auto-sandbox might prevent some legit apps from running (still) so you might want to mention Defense+ -> Unrecognized Files. From that window users can submit files to comodo for analysis or treat them as Blocked/Trusted. Although this fits more in a "How to use" article. One thing I don't agree with is disabling UAC in Win7. Even more disabling it completely. [list][*]It turns off protected mode in IE [*]It disables file/registry virtualization. In some (rare) cases users might loose the settings for apps that run only as admin. (Since Windows previously redirected settings stored in registry from HKLM\Software to HKCU\Software or settings files from Program Files to Users folder.) [/list] I think it would be as easy to download [url=http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/]TweakUAC[/url] and set it to "Switch UAC to quiet mode". This will disable the elevation prompts under the default account (running in admin approval mode) without the 2 disadvantages mentioned above. If there are other accounts running as standard user they won't be affected. Anyway, I am used to being the only one seeing a benefit in running as a standard user and UAC :) [/QUOTE]
