Hi,
many time some program change the settings of the browser like search engines like FireFox.. and comodo dasn't protect from this attack.

I think in a future version Comodo can think to set the security suite to allert and ask user when this happens.

No security today does this. Try using Comodo Dragon.

Also try using password protection settings in the browser? Can you do that?

You can add this item to the protected registry keys.

Its you who allows the installer to install toolbars and searches.
Or its a bad installer/ a product to stay away from.

I had to learn it the hard way.....

Kingsoft AV detects some changes to the Internet Explorer too, and in some tests of my own it worked well. And now they think about to add some other browser too, like Firefox and Chrome so far i know. I hope they will add IceDradon too.

I think the idea is good. And i think its not a big thing for Comodo to make their own browsers or all browsers more secure against quiet changes. maybe they can do this with a better HIPS rule in the CIS software.

I disagree. AVG protects your homepage from being changed.
