Post by: pete on January 26, 2008, 10:51:49 AM
Hi
I have noticed today on the desk top, i have a icon called sigsdb (Data Base File), if i delete it it comes back.
I can't open it, Have no idea what it is or what it does. It is 20kb in size  :smash:

pete,
As far as I am aware this is to do with your Comudo firewall is your version upto date.
Do you have items queueed in it's pending list reinstance.
but you still should be able to remove/delete it.
but maybe it is because it is being used by the program thus stopping you from deleting it so try moving it in to new folder within your Comundo folder.
(Isay within it as you may already have one in there)
I sure others who use Comudo on a daily bases will let you know if this has or is happening to them.

Apparently sigsdb is a bug, going by comodo, and will be fixed next week, with there plan update.

In the meantime i have reverted back to there former version which has leak protection on it.
Will try there Version 3 "basic Firewall with leak test " next week.

Had I been in your situation, after sifting through that information...sounds like what I'd be doing too  :lol:

I have been following the feedback as of late concerning the Comodo FW and the advanced features in any firewall still continues to be a challenge for me to understand.  And yet having a quality firewall you can depend on is one of the most vital security options a user has at their disposal.

Glad you were able to make a decision based on what's best for your computer configuration.

/Off topic

I observed the way you have separated your desktop icons by "security" per your screenshot above.  I suggested that for all the family computers, as well as sending them "How To's" & "When" docs for each computer that they could add in a desktop folder called "Security."  It did make it easier to "find" the security programs quicker.

And Pete?

Hi

How do i go about uploading a picture from my computer, as to use for avatar.
Not from the web.

This really shows me as being quite illiterate as far as computers are concerned. :oops: :tech:

pete,
The best way is for you to up load it to a hosting site (Try Searching Google (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=free+image+hosting+&btnG=Google+Search&meta=))there are a few good ones around but I recommend Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/)
Once you have uploaded your images you can then go in to your profiles and add the image you want.

Post by: Ripley on January 28, 2008, 05:58:59 PM
Here's how I do it:

In your LzD User CP (at the top)
Forum Profile Info> Select "I Have My Own Pic"

For LzD avatar use a URL from hosting site or if using PB: "direct link" option
(For LzD signature a URL with "img" tags or if using PB: the "img code" option)

Click "Change Profile" at the bottom.
