    Not if you learn how to use it, which could be said for all software!

    :rolleyes:

    Dont think that JUST because ive started posting on here im some sort of tech newbie. I know cos ive had it ~ but to be fair they may have changed how it works now, I can only comment on how it worked a few years back and I had all sorts of problems (and I know EXACTLY how to work it thanks :T)

    I advised against it because when I used it then it somehow stopped other programs I had from working properly! I dont mean blocking them from reaching the net I mean actual conflicting software and as I understand it zonealarm (the newest) STILL conflicts with a LOT of software

    And in the context of this thread I think we can both agree that theres something blocking comodo. Wether you like the software or not is not the case ~ I think finding whatevers blocking it is the first problem to overcome and what shes chooses to use after that is entirely upto her. As of yet I dont know of comodo conflicting with ANY software and once uninstalled its completely gone (unlike zone)

    Yes, I never use paid anti-virus/spyrware/firewall software.
    It's usualyl very poor, or at least not to the standard I require.

    I recommend ZoneAlarm, just google it, it's the industry standard.

    Another thing to avoid is just relying on the built-in Firewall that comes with XP or Vista. Both have a place I suppose, but they are still vulnerable to attack.
