First, a great thanks to the wonderful service Avast is.
I am searching for a log that records every IP address sent/received from my laptop. XP Firewall and Avast I find only the currently connected…But I am looking for the entire history since each startup.
?
The XP firewall doesn’t have outbound protection, so there is no way it can record sent data and it is a very basic firewall and as far as I can remember it doesn’t so stats.
You don’t say what avast version you are using ?
The avast free version doesn’t have a firewall so it wouldn’t be gathering these kind of stats.
Avast Free. 2 days ago, I tried installing Comodo Firewall, but one of its .tmp during installation is being flagged as a trojan dropper. Yesterday I submitted it as a possible False Positive to Avast, but so far still being blocked from installing.
I also have a Linksys E2500 Wireless Router hardware firewall.
I don’t see how a firewall log if available would help in this regard. If avast is alerting on a local .tmp file belonging to comodo.
If you can give the full information of the alert, full file name, location and malware name ?
Given that you are using comodo firewall you have to be very careful not to install the AV component and possibly the defence + as both of those may be trying to download virus signatures in the .tmp file and that could well be what avast is alerting on the unencrypted virus signatures.
I used Comodo Firewall before on different computer, so have been trying to install it on this one since 2 days ago. I use the direct download link from Comodo website. The autoblock from Avast comes during installation. I not able to use Comodo Firewall until Avast stops auto blocking the file, and submitted it both yesterday and today.
Here is its details…
Original file name… cis19.tmp
Original folder… C:\Documents and Settings\Lynn\Local Settings\Temp
Size of file… 9437184
Time of transfer… 8/20/2013 3:31:22 PM
Virus description… Win32:Dropper-LJP [Drp]
Well it looks like it is likely to be unencrypted virus signatures.
Not really sure how you can get round this. I don’t know if there is a link where you can only download the comodo firewall only and not the suite.
disable the shield and then try again. Or it won’t work until they fix it.
Sorry but if it was my computer, I’d expect Comodo to fix their unencrypted stuff.
I would not turn off my protection so I can bypass an error on their end.
There are other free firewall programs where you don’t have this problem.
