The thread in which PA Bear seemed to be talking to himself bothered me.
I know how those resolutions usually work out - I guess you do too.
Would-be leaders are furnishing crap heaving examples - nastiness works?

Guess where it is located in the matousec.com firewall leaktest results.

Comodo Pro in XP = UAC in Vista is a /recommendation/ ? (I recomend you
consult a psychiatrist about your masochistic tendencies.)

It's not as intrusive as UAC and after it learns, it shuts up.

Yes. I love joking but don't include those emoticon things.
ANY software that will not allow the OS to update and replace system
files ** IS a joke ** in my opinion. That is *specifically* how malware
operates.

A hardware firewall plus the native Windows firewall provides sufficient
protection and will not hamper the OS nor it's ability to be updated.
Case, closed. Next !

Correct, and I don't want to start an argument here, but that's only when
Defense+ is installed. You have a choice to disable Defense+ when you setup
the firewall. If it was malware, do you think you would have a choice? No.
