I installed Comodo firewall pro and avast home at the same time. Since doing this I PC is slowed down. When I play a game online " Freestyle Street Basketball" my ping is horrilbe now. I am thinking that it is comodo. What do you think?? If it is comodo what free firewall should I use. I like the comodo features but not the slow down. Oh I also have pc tools spyware doctor standard running and trend micro anti spy ware with venus spu trap. Trend micro was already here.
Thanks for taking the time to read
Make sure you set it to “allow” or “recognize” the game connecting to a MP server. You may have to disable your firewall while playing the game. Or it could be “thinking” other online players as possibly trying to “invade or infect” your computer.
Ping depends on what you are using. As it goes by distance, load, router, computer etc. Are you using DSL, Cable or Dialup? (yes, some of us have no choice except dialup) Wireless or satellite. The first three are developed to deliver large upload AND download packets from your provider to you and back. Wireless, I am not sure but I believe it is similar to Satellite…which I do have. There, the upload packets are much lower in size to send through the distance from it’s source in space orbit to you and back… compared to the much larger “Download” packets.
Hmmm… did you try disabling Spyware Doctor to see what you get… it is notorious on system resources consumption.
