And even if that came to an end, I'm a closed browser away (thanks to Sandboxie) from snuffing it out. a Web Scanner would have blocked a grand total of 0 things for me since moving to XP 8 years ago. In every case the person said their browser worked just fine denying the traffic. And I don't put 100% trust behind anything, so I block it if it's not essential. I've hardly met an app that didn't try to take some liberty like this, no matter how trusted. I'm talking in fact about essential things, web browsers, IE, Firefox, & Chrome. And I'm talking about apps that are well respected in here. But do you really know? Some of it looked downright shady. Now in a perfect world you like to think/hope it's legitimate traffic, doing legitimate things. what you're doing if you have no outbound FW). though perhaps 2 seconds later.Īfter I posted my hardened Web Browser rules for Comodo I had a few people PM me showing me traffic they noticed that was now being blocked that wasn't prior when they had simple allow all outbound rules (very common with trusted apps. If you use NoScript, and have other means like DNS filtering, not to mention that your File Shield would snuff out anything anyway. If not, and you want web scanning, that's the route I'd go.

I'm not sure if MBAM Pro utilizes their URL scanning in a similar manner or not. They also deploy a proxy in an identical manner. I'm more than covered anyhow.Īlso I'm pretty sure Avira's Web Guard has the same problem. With SBIE, NoScript, D+, DNS filtering, WOT, VTzilla, and VT Hash Check scanning new files anyway. I'll gladly sacrifice web scanning to keep those measures intact. connecting out, sending pings home (CCleaner does it with every install), setting hooks. I know plenty of apps that are generally trusted in here that do strange things by monitoring them with my outbound FW & HIPS. Can you assure me it isn't sending out any user info? How about other apps/processes, even ones generally trusted? If it's not necessary for what I need to get done, I don't allow it.

And I personally don't know what Explorer is trying to do, connecting out every time I try to install something, but I don't like it, or trust it. blah blah blah" can be prevented with a tight outbound filtering regimen. Most of those patches you see that say "this could allow a remote user to compromise. You never know when a Windows service even, like svchost.exe, will become vulnerable to an exploit that needs patched with next Tuesday's batch. I also think it's faulty logic that outbound filtering is rendered moot if you have no malware.

It's up to end users to be aware of such conflicts and decide on how to handle it accordingly. Nor will outbound FW vendors ditch outbound protection over it. That doesn't mean they don't consider it a viable concern. Web scanning on the other hand, I do live without just fine, and even thrive without.Īnd I don't see why Avast would ditch something that's been around for so long, and become such a staple, even knowing about this conflict. I definitely cannot live without outbound filtering. So my advice would be to only use one or the other. if both conflict with each other you could end up with NEITHER product properly protecting you in the end.
