so ayon, my pc sent data of my pirated software. I changed it to custom policy mode, so that solves the problem, a little late though...

then, I notice 10 secs delay on the firewall informing me of internet access from another PC. my bro was able to open google 10 secs before a dialog appears to me if I allow connection to his computer.

but that was not my main problem, I notice every 15 mins, my movie skip frames and also has the sound. specialy when comodo dialog pops up. my mouse skips on me.

I gave it a benefit of doubt, I un-installed and install again, but this time, no defense plus but with leak protection only, no safe surf . same problem. the third time, I re-install without leak protection, with safe surf. same problem.

then I disabled logging and it solved the problem but, I'm removing it. despite the fact that I can put it to custom policy mode now. so I can monitor every application or system that tries to access the net. the damage has been done. so I'm pissed!

not much worry on outsider hacking in, but I worry of my softwares secretly accesing the net for license verification.

I used to use old sygate but it does not support ICS so I will try that Online Armor Personal Firewall free. if it still fails on me, I'm back to same old firewall plus free. only 5mb.
