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.

If you have made a decision, Click here to download Comodo Antivirus + 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.
