I am getting better with with the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. I was able to block LeakTest's access to the Web by altering the way Vista suggests writing "Outbound" rules. By making this change, I also did better with the Comodo leak tests. Of course, the first one still was blocked. The test pharse I was using is "I don't leak." In this regard, I kept the Comodo site from being able to reproduce the whole phrase. All it could reproduce was "I"--which might mean that, for example, a credit card number could not be transmistted. Unfortunately, the third Comodo test reproduced the whole phrase.
However, I don't think Comodo could do anything if I could preclude it form using IE. Even though Firefox is my default brower and I have disabled IE, the 2nd and 3rd Comodo tests are able to start IE and connect through IE.
Does anyone know how to absolutely prevent IE from being used. Also, does anyone have any thoughts about how to deal with the general approach the two hardest-to-defeat Comodo leak tests are using the get to the Web. |
