I ask, because they have a whole slew of FREE products.
Anti-Virus, Firewall, Malware, etc.

No license...EVER (or so they claim)

The firewall is pretty nice... (better than most actually)... The other stuff I wasn't much impressed with, but it has been a while since I've used any of their products.
I've read reviews indicating that the firewall was the BEST software one available (home use). I don't know about the rest, though.

I usually prefer my security software to not introduce additional vulnerabilities...

Nice.
You'd never be caught running a Win32 firewall period, would you, Ghost?

and linux is the perfection of security. why don't you type linux and search under exploits on the same site.

Last exploit '04 for iptables, the Linux firewall for 2.4+ Kernels.

Take your hyper-sensitive Microsoft apologist panties off for a second and realize that I was addressing the specific thread question about Comodo and the four exploits in the past year and I wasn't blasting your blessed OS.

I will never run firewall software on a windows O/S. It's like putting a band-aid on a shark bite. Not only is it completely useless to do so, but your out the cost of the band-aid as well.

I wouldn't charge you to crap in your hand; it'd be free but something tells me you wouldn't want it.

Whether or not I would want it has nothing to do with me then bitching about the price...

You're the only one to mention price in this thread.

Actually.... he was addressing Monolyth's cost of band aids.
At any rate, I hope our babies are doing well.

I stand corrected, I see the conversation flow now, apologies ninelven, I misread your point.

Well, as of right now, I am running an OLD Sygate firewall. I can't use a hardware firewall, cause I have dialup, and don't want to shell out the money for a router with dialup capabilities.
Looking for a decent firewall (NOT ZoneAlarm), of little to no cost.
suggestions? Don't suggest Linux, cause I already have MEPIS 6.5, and can't play games while I download. :p

Windstream won't service your area?
Shamrock
10-23-07, 10:11 PM
Heck no!!!
Windstream, Bellsouth/AT&T...nobody!! They say "it isn't profitable for us to bring it in that far"...but hopefully some small independent cable co is bringing in cable internet....soon. They are getting the entire county.

That might be worse than what you have, believe it or not...
I was stuck in a similar situation with a small cable company in a rural area. horrible speed (compared to real DSL/Cable), bad price/bandwidth ratios, and ridiculous download caps at like 1 or 2 GB then pay .10 per 5 megs down. It was obscene.
This was a few years back, though. I hope you have much better luck.

notice how all of those applications need to be ran on the users pc, not remotely
hardly an exploit
the first one is about random regkeys which don't really provide anything handy
the second one is a little bit more troubling, except if he has control of your file system, your screwed anyway
maybe i should send valve/ea/id/insertanycompanyhere an email about their dll injection problems, i root my own pc on purpse, apparently thats an exploit too
if you run this firewall with an antivirus, you are much safer than without it
these aren't anything like 0day exploits, i'm confused why the author even bothered on researching these "exploits"

Well, where do I start? I downloaded the AV and the firewall. A total of about 42MB...on DIALUP!
Firewall...
I don't know whether to call this the best firewall ever, or the worst. It installed great, but it never asked me to restart PC now or later, and just immediately shutdown. I had Firefox open at the time, and because it didn't save anything before shutdown, I lost EVERYTHING in my Firefox profile! No bookmarks, no passwords, no profile, even! Just my luck I have Google Browser sync, it saved me. It requires you to download a unique license ID over the internet, so it can update. But the firewall itself wouldn't let me!
On reboot, it asked to block/allow even services upon bootup. I never made any mistakes on the answers. But when I went to open an application, it refused my answer, even if I allowed it. I could connect to the internet, but NO traffic could get through. EVEN if I select "allow ALL".
Cliff notes...Won't let ANY application/traffic enter leave my PC. Not even if I select no protection.
Anti-Virus...
Couldn't update due to Comodo Firewall. So, here's what it caught.
Raxco Perfect Disk (Defrag) is a known backdoor trojan!
FRAPS is a known backdoor keylogger!
ZBoard Z Engine (my keyboard software) is a known keylogger!
Firefox is a known backdoor cookie advertisement!
WHOA! And it put them all in it's "vault" without my consent! I had to manually retrieve them.
I can't support, nor will I EVER download this crap again.
