One more Smitfraud-c.Tolbar888 victim

I'm only in the part of install a firewal other than the windows default, selected the Comodo one.
A little doubt, after install the new one, should I desactivate the windows default firewall?
I thought that an external router would give some more protection, OBVIOUSLY I seem to be extremely WRONG.
Thanks
 
Hi

"A little doubt, after install the new one, should I desactivate the windows default firewall?"

Yes :)

"I thought that an external router would give some more protection, OBVIOUSLY I seem to be extremely WRONG."

It actually does if you have NAT and/or hardware firewall on it.
 
Hi there!
After a long journey finaly have managed to fix this, I think.
Now it's a question of identify what are the safe connections and get used to the firewall prompts.

No idea of how to portforward in the Comodo Firewall so that e-mule doesn't have low id, right???:whistle:

Now a more serious question.
I have Firefox with the No-Script add-on instaled, besides the IE7 and Opera. From the list of recommended software I've instaled Comodo BOClean, IE/SPYad, SpywareBlaster and AD-Aware.
I already had instaled Norton Anti-Virus 2003 always updated, Spybot (of course) and has above said the Comodo Firewall.
What should be the default browser in your opinion, what do you think is safer?

Thanks for your help and pacience!:crowned:

Comodo forums have sticky for portforwarding for common p2p programs :)
This might help you.

Firefox is IMHO safer, less security holes than in IE and they are being fixed faster than those with IE.
