I guess dead air means you have to have geekbuddy installed?
MalwareBytes is about the same, great product, but support only cares about signing you up for paid services, whether you need them or not.
Why would I ever let them remote in after this?
I use CIS because of the rules features. The ability to create a zone based on IP or MAC address, then apply that to a rule, and then apply the rule to apps, even on the fly when the popup asks what to do with it.
Is there another FW with these features? That is also easy to use, in active dev, and installs without issue?
Any tips would be appreciated.
