WinAndLinuxTutorials's Config

Google Chrome is quite secure.. Although I would give Comodo Dragon a try, and see what you think, as it compliments CIS very well.. And if you are already used to Chrome, the transition will be nothing..

I've given it a try, but I really hate that it uses the ask search engine, so I used Google Chrome instead...

Comodo Dragon does not use Ask search engine.. Comodo Search, around 3 years ago used the Ask search engine, not even sure if it is still around... I am using Dragon right now with CIS and they work together flawlessly..

When I want to search using the URL bar, it redirects me to Comodo Search and when I type anything there it searches using the ask engine.

I was not aware Comodo Search was still around, when i first install Dragon, i go into options, to basics, and either use google or bing search for home page..

As the wolfsmith72 says, set up Dragon to use whatever search engine you wish.
Mine is set up to work with Scroogle and works flawlessly.

advise to change webbrowser. Chrome has low security protection compared to FireFox

Well the fact is Chrome have built with security features like sandbox that Firefox doesn't have.

Chrome has low security protection compared to FireFox

Firefox has lower protection settings than IE's Protected Mode, and Chrome uses light-sandboxing techniques, whereas Firefox has none. I would like to see an article about what you claim.

Cheers.

Perhaps you noticed the adblocker for Trafficlight already. Their adblocker doesn't have more configuration its like to be install and forget.

Firefox seems to be the 3rd most secure browser behind chrome and IE. Most ppl don't realize that IE has been utilizing sandboxing since IE7, but it seems chrome has done a better job of it. It would be nice to see how IE10 comes out but I most likely won't be moving to a Windows that features so much java like windows 8.

Installed: Avast Free, ZoneAlarm Free, Bufferzone Pro

How is BufferZone Pro? Works well on Win 7 x 64?

I'm in a deep suspicion that BufferZone Pro is the cause of my system slowdown. I closed it for a time and the system is currently running well.

Good, now SBIE should protect you.

Bufferzone Pro didn't even want to install on my system, I do believe they rushed this release.

You have a lot of extensions, which have you found to be the most reliable, accurate from Avast WebRep, BDTF and WOT?

You got a lot of updating to do when new updates are released.

I think it's WOT. I know I should consider removing some, but I am lazy.

Bufferzone crashes my system...lucky i had a backup image...Sandboxie never crashed it.

Update:
Switched from avast! free to AVG Free for causing problems with a program I frequently use.

 

[McLovin]

Were programs causing Avast to crash? If so what programs?

 

[NSG001]

Must confess I have never ever tried AVG products over many years.
Will monitor your experience/s with interest

 

[Ink]

Which part of Avast caused problems for which programs? Was it the Auto-Sandbox, or other component of Avast?

Thanks.

@stormgtr
I don't know what exactly caused the issue. I've tried to disable all avast! features and run the program. Still errors occurred. Then yesterday I've decided to switch to AVG, and after the operation, the program worked successfully.

Do you have uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller and reinstall it?

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

@McLovin: There was no program that crashed avast!.

Which program are you talking about?
