[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 426033"] The rationale regarding compatibility is a valid one, but NoVirusThanks products very rarely - if ever - cause system critical conflicts. If anyone finds any type of compatibility issue and reports it to the developer, it is fixed... I do not intend to debate one versus the other. From a technical perspective only, SOB is more powerful than AppLocker since the user can create virtually limitless custom rules. The downside is that this level of control requires advanced knowledge plus time and effort on user's part; one bad rule can smash a system. Right now SOB is not so user-friendly since it is very early version... Comodo has the advantage of already monitoring dlls and .sys files - and will generate alerts when suspicious dll behavior or install of newly introduced driver is detected. However, it only covers a limited number of generic suspicious behaviors. The user can create rules within Comodo for any file type - but once again - it requires advanced knowledge. The same warning applies = one bad rule and system is smashed... [/QUOTE]
