Keyloggers

[Safety_First]

Just installed Commodo, it seems very sensitive to me asks me before it allows anything (Steam gaming platform etc) . I'm not sure if it's slowed my internet - could just be after the reboot (my computer is slow when it boots). Does anyone have Commodo (CBMatt) if so how would you rate it, does it slow your internet? Additionally I'm about to install the Rootkit detector.

Im using Comodo.
Here are the words of a wise man .

Comodo will continually learn from your Internet habits.
The best thing to do is allow it to learn and always make sure you tell it to remember your answers.
In addition...stay on top of the processes that run on your computer...knowing which of them should be allowed...and which shouldn't.


P.S. you should be sure about what you are going to ask comodo to remember , if you are not sure dont ask it to remember your answer .

Lots of users, here, will swear by it...
Personally...I've used it and subsequently uninstalled it...the learning process drove me nuts...and when idle, would disconnect me from the Internet...so I uninstalled it.

Having a router hardware firewall...I really didn't need a software firewall...but use Windows Firewall for additional security.

You never answered the question...are you connected to a router?  If so...read my previous post, again.

On a scale of 1-10...I'd give Comodo a 9...the alerts and idle disconnects keep me from giving it a full 10.  However...it does have to learn...it's the nature of the beast.

If you are going to continue using comodo then you might like to be sure about what process to allow and what to deny ,this will guide you through it.

Sorry, in response to your question: no I am using a speedtouch modem. So far Commodo has thrown fits over steam.exe (gaming platform) and svchost.exe - Which I'm going to assume are safe, however I didn't tell it to remember to allow permission for svchost.exe. I don't like the sound of the idle disconnect - going to see if I can disable that.
Additionally the rootkit scan shows all clear.
Thanks to all involved Unloved, CBMatt, Ivy, Saviour.

I think my PC has gained 10 + security points

I will also check out those links (Ivy)

Welcome Safety_First ,
You might want to consult the above given links in future when ever you are unsure.
Im glad your comp is all clear.

Another useful link:  Process Library

In case you're ever wondering whether to allow or disallow a certain process...

I thought this additional link would help as well:  Process Scanner

One final thanks to everyone your wisdom has been invaluable. (as mentioned earlier )

If you know you can trust a program (such as C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe), then you should tell Comodo to remember your choice.  It's far more convenient that way.  I would only worry about programs that either (A) you're unfamiliar with or (B) you know you don't want to allow.  I don't use Steam on a regular basis, but I do still use it and I have had no conflicts with Comodo.  So far, the only thing it's given me trouble with is Battlefield 2142.  It takes a day or two to really get used to Comodo, but once you do, you won't want to be without it.

I checked out that link you gave me all I really needed to do was update my Java.
I think my system looks safe although I'm unsure, however Avast should warn me if a keylogger is detected right?
