Alright, i had few cases with comodo firewall + forticlient where forticlient was showing in system tray, but web filter were turned off. I think hips caused it but you should check sometimes its really turned on

Forticlient now installed

Syshardener ( evjl rains setup + bit more) - What is that exactly in the parenthesis? Interested in how I can better config this

Mine happens to be Syshardener w/ @Evjl's Rain settings, Forticlient (web filter only), Immunet at my own settings during tests, then CFW, then finally Scriptsafe my own settings for fingerprint protection etc etc.

Really nothing much, just printers and something that i dont use and he does. Its pretty much max settings on his setup

@Evjl's Rain would i benefit disabling .reg & .bat files with syshardener? Do malware ever exploit .reg anyways? If i dont mess up with register at all

This morning i couldnt acces with chrome into anything, found out comodo blocking forticlient even i allowed it many times. Theyre conflicting together...here i am now running windows defender once again

it's up to you. malwares frequently use regedit to infect windows
however, they are essential components of windows
I use bat and reg every week so I can't disable them

Cheers, there isnt much i do outside of web browser so i have disabled ( enabled from SysHardener) them for now

I think im not gonna mess with comodo anymore, just SYshardener + basic av for basic protection, could go for avast / bitdefender since i havent tried them much

I like to see how people try to use Comodo products in MT, and after a while common sense kicks in realizing they don't even need CCAV, CF, CIS, if all they do is just browsing and follow what they install on their system.

it´s not that easy.. some web abuse literally and alot of ads, pop ups, redirects ( wich no ad blocker can block them: just try any youtube converter online )u can surf safe but there always many webs full of dangerous things.

Its hard to get infected without torrenting/ illegal things. Youre very right, im just paranoid

Update:
- CCAV removed
+ Syshardener hardened + windows defender as default antivirus

Offtopic: spotify installed from microsoft store, alot lighter than desktop app

 

[Moonhorse]

update:
+ added

- Sophos home premium FREE
- Comodo firewall - cs settings

Plan is keep this setup for a week and see does sophos really calm down
I wanted to also try andy fuls defender setup, but i rather use something from big av company, also i have .reg disabled wich is needed for conf

Definitely give it some time to see if it settles down. I'm not 100% sure on the free version, but I know the SHP once it is done caching it prompts you to restart your computer. If the free version behaves the same way, once you get that prompt you should be good to go!

cf + sophos is bit heavy combo, but after first boot it feels like having CIS. Definitely having high hopes to see results after caching is completed

Update:

- removed sophos free

Good changes!

Did you still find Sophos to heavy like before? I too have been contemplating just switching my setup and keeping it simple. Not that I'm dissatisfied with SHP, I really like it a lot, but the more I think about it using WD with configure defender and potentially OS Armor is more than sufficient IMO.

Well cant say its heavy, free av just lacks something, web filter werent working on legacy browsers etc. The paid is worth it for sure
