People following my other threads will know that my intention was to run Bullguard for a period to cover queries arising from the offer. I trialled it a while back on my older XP machine to see if it might be suitable for a "freebie" and was impressed. I liked it too on x64 Vista until a still unidentified software conflict began slowing my PC and causing some programs not to load at boot. Was it not for the fact that I need this PC to stay fully functional for TSA then I would have followed Bullguard support's "fix" advice but having already destroyed my Ubuntu partition network during the upgrade to 9.10 (LOL) I felt things were best left alone to avoid a possible prolonged absence off line.
Consequently I re-installed CIS and apart from the whopping 100mb+ additional signature base required everything is back 100%. I certainly find Comodo the easiest firewall to manage out what I don't want connecting. Maybe it's just a false sense of security but there's something comforting about seeing all those "system this" and "system that" red crosses in the blocked log
I intend to upgrade to W7 in about another month and at this point will either use my Bullguard license for it's balance or put CIS on. Have you had any negative issues with CIS and W7, J.L? I still see quite a few supposed bypass incidents being flagged in their forum but it's difficult to assess how relevant any of these might be for the likes of us average folk, especially given that their level of forum traffic is so high and these things can sometimes look out of proportion.
