As CFP has lot’s of features there’s also the downside that a user with little or no knowledge of firewall’s and hips get overwhelmed with all those check boxes and stuff.
Is it an idea to make some sort of a short “movie” (people don’t want to read manuals, so let them look at it ) (:WIN) they get a short “tour around the program”.
Take this for example, a great way to a learn and play kind of way to know what tcp/ip does. http://www.warriorsofthe.net/ you’ll learn more from this than from 20 pages of pdf to deliver the same information.
Or maybe some sort of a first install wizard to let them choose between 3 predefined security levels ?
One with basic security. (low on pop up’s, only the realy nasty stuff).
One with medium security. (little noisier).
One with high security. (expert level).
For the rest it is a great product with a Hugh load of features for free, only the path to the non technical user is not on the same level as the product itself i think.
I realise that this is a Q&D proof of concept. When preparing one for general users, you’ll need to add documentation at every step. Assume nothing - that’s a users job.
