Coreforce

thanks for posting Alg. I won't install cpf again, at least not before version 3.0. I found the link to Coreforce really interesting. The software looks extremely sophisticated, but not that easy to handle. I downloaded it yesterday, and when I rebooted, I started to get quite a few problems. System freezing shortly again and again, but no crash. Just the alerts reacted too slowly to my clicks. I had to uninstall to get my system work normally again, but I will reinstall, after I've read the user's manual carefully. The software seems to be a high-end mixture of a firewall and a HIPS,even if at the moment, I'm not even sure it can be called a HIPS; it reminds me a bit of System Safety Monitor (which I use); the big difference is that Coreforce is also a firewall, and from the type of alerts that I've noticed, a very efficient one. Also Coreforce works with profiles, with one profile dedicated to each application known from Coreforce; these profiles can be updated; I suppose that's why they call it a community software: the updates seem to come from other user's optimized config. Sounds like very, very new stuff.I said yesterday to someone that in compare, cpf looks like a toy for babies. I'm just a bit worried about this windows drivers warning during installation. Hope it doesn't matter.They're just not listed and tested by Microsoft. OK, for those who'd be interested, here is the link again. Just be advised, this program is really not for everyone.See here first for the pdf user's guide.Good luck !

more on this program later in this blog...

p.s.: CoreForce is still a beta. Consider watching the FAQ on their web site; there's also this address for support: support@force.coresecurity.com
