I have been using Comodo Internet Security since it’s initial release and it just keeps getting better and better. However whilst trying to install the most recent version 4.0 which was released on March 03 2010 I encountered an installation error 1603. Naturally I cleared all the junk files, disabled unnecessary services, cleared the registry and still couldn’t get it to work

The wonderful thing about Linux is its capability to get all of your software from one place. Unfortunately you don’t have that option with Windows as you have to download and install things separately, which can be rather tedious. The trouble with downloading stuff the Windows way is that you are openly subject to viruses and malware. You can be misled into downloading software that promises you the world and then hijacks your computer, once installed. You can never be sure if your security is going to be compromised.

If you are like me, you want to have the latest secure and up-to-date version of Firefox installed. Generally the package management system handles all software downloads, which is extremely useful, but unfortunately it may take some time for security updates to appear. There is one such workaround and that is to install your own copy. This tutorial is aimed at those using Mandriva Linux so your results may differ depending on which distribution you use.

Web browsers are probably the most used software in this day and age. We access the Internet, play on-line games, access bank accounts, use them to power web applications such as Google Docs and so much more. There are so many browsers to choose from but which one do we choose?

Comodo firewall has been around for a few years now. It has always been rated highly for its tough firewall. Version 3 now comes with a Host Intrusion Prevention System (H.I.P.S) in the form of Defense +, which protects critical operating system files, the windows registry and personal data by preventing unauthorised access. It is extremely useful but can often be bewildering when all these pop-ups keep appearing on your screen, especially if the user is an amateur and doesn’t understand what is being asked of them. However, once you have got used to it, it works like a dream and doesn’t take up too much memory.

There are always going to be security exploits within browsers but to minimise the amount of unwanted rubbish such as adware, malware and Trojans you can use Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox is stable and highly customisable and most importantly it is well known for being securer than IE. Here is a list of extensions that are available to make it just that bit more secure.
