G’Day all,
1st time posting but have been using CIS for some time now…
Some of you maybe aware about the whole EA Origin / BF3 privacy concerns & hard drive scanning. Firstly I must point out I am not trying to block Origin however I am trying to block Origin from connecting through to 007Guard on random ports, which is considered spyware etc…
As soon as a I execute Origin.exe (required to play BF3) & even if I cancel Origin & do not decide to login, from looking at the log files within Windows Process Monitor I have noticed many successful TCP Send & Receive connections from Origin.exe to xxx.007guard. I find this rather strange & disturbing as I have setup block Global rules for this host (007guard), Application rules around Origin.exe, Blocked Zones for this host & furthermore added host blocking rules into my router. I even have a “Ask” rule on all IN/OUT TCP/UDP for Origin.exe however I am never prompted for any such activity. When executing Origin.exe the comodo icon in the tray does show IN/OUT activity as well.
For a learning exercise could someone please explain how this application is bypassing my firewall & router rules and if you have any suggestion to block this 3rd party activities to 007guard I would really like to read them.
Cheers in advance! Have to try & keep the B@stards honest
