Have to agree on this one.I simply love this firewall.
I would also have to agree about PF I like it, my only complaint about it would be the symbol used in the tray that looks outdated.
10 minutes ago at start up it happened again,the very same issue.I had to manually kill that runonce.exe process as “usual”…
I have this problem too. I have avast + comodo firewall.
Please remove emergency update it is not necessary.Keep avast simple or you will loose a lot of users.
In my own tests I have found PFW to be capable of catching most threats even without an AV switched on. It uses very few resources and with a bit of initial tweaking of alerts just does its job quietly in the background. I contrast that positive experience to CFW which is quite the opposite. On a day to day basis I no longer use either because I feel safe enough behind my hardware firewall as well as a great anti-virus, sadly no longer Avast.
avast and PFW running here without any issues.
Also got this issue with the Avast + Comodo combination on a freshly installed Windodw 7 x64 computer. Black screen after login. The only thing visible on screen is the mouse cursor.
i have the avast and comodo firewall (only firewall) updated and when emergency updates starts on logon i have to kill runonce.exe or restart 3 times for it to stop doing this.
then i have 1-2 months of piece before avast does it again.
seems like its avast’s fault, PFW and now comodo, well done avast.
at least im happy to see im not the only one having this, i suspected avast in the past but now i know i was right!!
windows 7 sp1 64bit
and yet other people using the exact same combinations of security have zero issues … avast/PFW work without any of these problems for me.
Maybe your firewall settings are incorrect.
The problems is clearly Avast’s,it’s hard to believe that we all who reported this problem are newbies and don’t know how to use a properly configured firewall.PWT and Comodo,that’s clearly not a coincidence.And again,i’m using Privatefirewall for more than 2 years (with Panda Cloud,AVG,Avira,Bitdefender AV Pro) and i NEVER faced something like this.
just ignore adrian, avast is the problem its a fact not an opinion.
We decect the issue: emergency updates starts at logon conflicts with some third parties FW (PF, CIS and I think others) but Avast devs seems silents.
More than evidence the problem we can’t do, or we can do just a thing: change Av
I think next time emergency update start at logon the problem return because is not solved
Yes,it seems odd that nobody from Avast doesn’t seem present and don’t reply a few words about this issue.
Out of curiosity - and this is NOT a criticism, just an attempt to understand: What do these 3rd party firewalls bring to the party that Windows’ firewall doesn’t?
I’m just curious why people use them.

Ease of use/configuration and Hips, blocking lists.
The same problem: avast 2014.9.0.2013 + comodo 6.3.302093.2976.
Black screen on windows startup. I need to kill explorer process and run it again for desktop show, but no autorun programs start, so i need to reboot my pc and the everything strating fine.
For now i delete trigger “Run on user logon” in scheduler for “avast! Emergency Update”.
This thread is about Private Firewall, not Comodo.
