Since I am reinstalling XP, what would you recommend? Why so? They don't have to be free.
Thanks,

I keep a close eye on my registry and manually make any changes necessary, I don't trust any program to make changes, I use Winpatrol free to monitor startup entries, new active X, BHO's. But if a change needs to be done I do it manually. When a victim has corrupted registry entries I use .reg file instead of fixing with a registry program.
Regprot is very similar to Winpatrol.

The problems I have noticed with Comodo have been on Vista machines - the most recent I remember was that it corrupted the Repository. I have since started backing up WMI to the WBEM folder under system32 as Repository Recovery.rec -> this can be done through
1) go to control panel -> administrative tools -> computer managementv->
2) expanded services and applications
3) Right click WMI Control and select properties
4) Backup/Restore Tab -> Select Backup now (Before becoming corrupted)
The problem this causes is for windows security center to report errors such as no firewall when you in fact have one active. Or it will report multiple firewalls when there is definitly only 1 installed. With the backup you can restore the repository without having to attempt to delete and rebuilt it, <- doesn't seem to work to well in
Vista
But there have been some other issues that was just the most recent

But we are a long way from a reliable Comodo that will work on small networks of 10 machines or less. Comodo gives trouble on most networks, it seems to me... even the two machine networks....
The mystery is the problems with multiple printers.
For now, Comodo is a terrific product for one-machine WXP installs only.
Blind Dragon said:Not a lot of options out there yet- I run zone alarm mainly and Comodo on my business computers. I guess the best option would be XP Pro?
The good thing about Comodo is that it has built in HIPS and it can monitor programs for behavior rather than relying on a set of definitions. They call it malware hueristic or defense +
