Laptop in Serious Trouble...

Comodo Firewall, Latest Update.
Works fine on my Main Computer.
Work Like a dream together.

OK somewhere it was posted here that there is a problem with comodo and avast if they are installed in a different order… I believe Avast should be installed first and then comodo - I will ask David as he knows about this

OK, my 2p worth:
As far as order goes, whilst I have never used Comodo firewall I would still advise having avast installed first.

I have applied that for my Outpost Firewall Pro (or suite) as it detects avast as being installed and offers compatibility mode to disable its web control and anti-spyware modules, etc.

If avast is installed first, there would be less chance of any possible interference from comodo/defence+ during the avast installation. So I would suggest that order of installation and see if it makes any difference.

I would suggest that a clean install of avast (as you used to have avast5 on here previously, but I can’t see anywhere where you say what version of avast you have) to ensure there is a clean start point:

  • Download the latest version of avast, 6.0.1203 and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download) before starting your uninstall/clean install of avast and comodo. Use that when you reinstall.

  • Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 5.x and 6.0.x).

    1. Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 5.x if previously installed and then for 6.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.

I was using Avast! 6.0, and I Did What you Said And It’s Now Working!

Thanks for Your Cooperation and Time!!
Many Thanks,
SgtSimpson

P.S- I Really Don’t Know What the Avast! forums would do without you!

No problem, glad I could help.
