comodo firewall

i just down loaded and installed the comodo firewall pro 2.4.1.92 so what do you guys think of it pros and cons ? ???

Why not use Comodo3? I use it on Vista with AVAST, no problem. Best FW free on market but learn how to use it :smiley:

Why not use the forum search function and look at the many previous posts on this forum about Comodo.
If it works for you, it’s a pro… if it doesn’t like in my case, it’s a con.

i didn’t see it i must have over looked it on their website you say it is free ?

Yes, install Comodo3, it’s free. Dowmnload the setup. Uninstall Comodo 2.4. Disconnect internet and reboot. Install Comodo 3. Reboot, follow the procedure Defense+ is an HIPS that will get on your nerves at first but it’s a necessary defence as it is learning the system as it is. Answer correctly. Comodo has its own forum. :o

I’m actually using Comodo 2.4 (on XP) but the highest version number I can locate is 2.4.18.184, so I don’t know where you got that version from. (Interested.)
The “D+” in version 3 is a full-blown HIPS. It will popup quite a few prompts to do with internal computer processes at first. These can be a bit confusing.
Personally I’m fairly happy with version 2, (used in conjunction with Avast and Threatfire, so I don’t need the HIPS so much.)

i deleted the comodo 2.4 and then down loaded the comodo pro v3 so we will see how it works out. :slight_smile:

totally agree with comodo v3 hips…thats why i use it with defense+ disabled :wink:

Comodo 2.4 is for WIN 2000! I use Comodo 3 FW on both my VISTA and XP SP3 machines and it works well with DEFENSE + ON (putting it OFF is like putting a tank in combat without the shells). I’m sure you’ll get to be used to it for security purposes but if you like it easy install it with Defense+ OFF. You can download the latest Comodo 3 FW final version from here: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html

Do you use ThreatFire? Isn’t this an overkill of HIPS protection?

Yes, I forgot to tell I use ThreatFire. No, it doesn’t give me any sort of problem as ST’s was giving me when its HIPS was ON. Comodo3 FW and ThreatFire go well along on my PC. :slight_smile:
ThreatFire is more like an AV, Comodo3 FW Defense+ is not but more like an HIPS.
There a thread on Wilder’s forum that may be of interesthttp://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=218975 :-X

But isn’t this set a resource hog? Can you work with your computer easily? Isn’t it too slow?

No, it isn’t too slow. Actually, I just had kind of a “malware attack” with no malware on when I tried to Adaware scan on SafeMode by putting Returnil OFF without a complete reboot. Things get complicated with all these security softwares and I wonder if it’s worth the p*** in the a**! :o

Simplify your computer security… having more is not the solution…

You’re right! :slight_smile:
I took Adaware 2008 OFF
It’s no use to have so much ON DEMAND SCANNERS when you only run them once and a while (I always do thorough scans because for me Quick Scans are incomplete!!!). 8)
