Graham, sorry to hear about your troubles with Commodo. I must admit I
haven't had a proper play with this since it was mentioned on the
GWMicro list, to which I was once subscribed to when I was using a demo
copy of Window-Eyes. In Window-Eyes's case, on my system it just stopped
talking when windows like you described came up. So as a result I took
it off and resorted to Windows Firewall. I did try Kerio and even paid
for it, thinking it would allow me to connect to my university's
network, but I couldn't! So once again I took off Kerio and reverted
back to Windows Firewall. I'd be interested to hear what you think of
Look'N'Stop as I've heard good things about it on the aforementioned
list. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
