Never trusted the sandbox functionality. I've been installing Comodo CIS with only the firewall and antivirus, sandboxing disabled, HIPS on low settings on. Any notable exploits left that would bypass that?
That said, I'm getting seriously tired of their shadyness/incompetence recently.
I need alternatives.
What's wrong with Windows firewall/defender/anti-virus/whatever it's called these days? It's free, it doesn't try to market itself to you, it doesn't smell like malware, and it doesn't seem to show up in these regular sweeps of disastrous security bugs in the third-party solutions.
It's a mess working out what it's doing, fixing it and explaining to the user why their perfectly working system just broke. It could really use some organization tools like the Task Scheduler.
*I thought Microsoft promised at one point around the lead up to Windows 7 that they were going to address their stealing focus issues.
