Hi, i saw this in KIS 2010: It is protecting registrys and folders of Firefox,Thunderbird,MSN,Filezilla and some other programs. From how i understood it, it protects the files/registrys which contain the passwords and logins and only allows specific programs (or propably all trusted ones) to acces those file/registrys.
Is the same thing possible with CIS and if yes, how?
I would like to secure my password of (win7 x64):
Firefox
Thunderbird
Windows Live Messenger
Filezilla
Skype
Steam
Thanks
@edit: i tried to add the “Hosts” file but i´m still able to edit the file with notepad or wordpad without a warning… followed the guide from the help button :o
and i think the problem isnt modifying but just reading the files®istrys which contain the passwords?
You can add the folders or files that hold the passwords to the My Protected Files like under Defense + → Computer Security Policy.

In short. CIS is the nanny of program behaviour. Not of user behaviour. CIS allows the user to do these things at his own discretion.
Okay so i still ahve a “strange” problem when adding smth… first of, i cant create customs grups (they wont show up if i click “groups” and add one"… same goes for adding an app which i do inside the “groups” window). Second, if i add an app (HOSTS file in the example video) it shows at the very bottom and without a group at all. Is it just fine how i did in the video?
Also: will CIS keep other programs(apps without trusted as rule) away from reading & adding & modifiing files of folders which i add?
If yes, i could add the whole “windows” & “user” directory since those are the the folders were most trojaners create there files? or will it slow down the system/comodo when adding such big folders?
And finally: anybody knows where windows live messenger, filezilla, thunderbird, teamviewer, skype, pidgin and steam are saving its passwords? i know the file for firefox (its some key.db file if i remember correctly).
I see you want to add a file in an existing group. Catch is here you need to first use the Group button on the right hand side. Then you can edit an existing group to add a file to it. It is a not a very intuitive method.
The Windows folder is already part of the protected files and folders. Look for %windir%| in the list of protected files and folders. Notice that that means that the hosts file is already protected.
