Thread: Allowing limited access to partitions while downloading

Suppose you have four partitions: C, D, E, and F. Now you are using one or two torrents, and the files are being downloaded to C and D. Is there any way to shut off access to E and F drives at this time so that if someone hacks into your computer, he will be able to see only C and D drives, but not the other partitions? The reason I ask this is because there are times when I just schedule a download while I sleep; if I am awake and sitting at the computer there are chances of my finding out something suspicious, but if I am alseep I might wake up to find everything messed up.

Thanks.

I think Comodo Firewall allows you this facility. You will be prompted when any programs try to access your hard disk.

I too had this problem

Commodo is just perfect ... you can exclude certain process from its list like Download managers and torrent clients .... but it will notify u if any process tries to access the outside or any outsider tries to access your comp ... it ll block it until you respond ... so good night and sweet dreams

I am also using commodo firewall I think it's good for security
What shadow said it always ask to user before connect any other suspicious attempt until user allow it block by firewall.

Comodo remembers your selection. And this makes automatic blocking easy.

I've already got Comodo Firewall Pro. Only I didnt know it would prevent an entire partition from being visible to the outside world.

EDIT: Comodo Firewall has this thing called Defense+, and there is an option to block files. Once you block files you can see it, but you can't access it - it gives an access denied error. But like I said, I don't know if this makes the folder invisible to the outside world.
