Hi Justin,

Your link requires a user name and password (which I don't have).

Is this release Vista compatable?

Yes, both Vista 32 bit and 64 bit compatible along with XP 32 bit and 64 bit compatible. Windows 2000 Support will be discontinued.

I've modified the first post for you :)

Thanks  :)

I've been waiting to replace PC Tools Firewall for a while now on my Vista box.  Nothing wrong with PC Tools - nothing worth arguing about anyway - just a different preference for my computer  ;D

I also got COMODO BoClean 4.25 to-day, the precious version expires to-morrow.

P.S. Do not forget to uninstall the previous version first.

I've installed the beta and must say, it is very advanced! I also have found it to be very stable.

Here are some screenshots of Comodo Firewall 3 Beta.

Please click images for a larger view.

This is the main screen of the new Comodo Firewall interface.

This is the main screen for the Firewall Settings, the firewall settings basically control network rules (i.e. TCP In/Out)

This is the Firewall category showing the advanced settings.
This is the Defense+ screen which is the section of the firewall which controls how applications are allowed to access the internet.
This is the Defense+ category showing the advanced options. Also towards the bottom right, you can see that Comodo is showing me that it just created a new rule for a safe application.
This is the Miscellaneous category, here there are many different options to configure your firewall.
This is the about screen displaying version information.

Justin,

I have Comodo Firewall Pro and it register for life ;D at home and I am looking forward to see the new final release when it ready after all the beta testing, Justin from the screenshot you posted keep in mind I'm at work on my a company computer please correct me if I am right or wrong.

Comodo doesn't backup all the firewall settings, rules etc etc, like ZoneAlarm Pro when most get a new computer or reformat the hd because it painful to throughout the settings again.

Because I really like to include Comodo Firewall backup feature and it make us less stress going around the circle, alway I have to do is reload my Comodo Firewall backup. Justin can you include this Comodo Firewall backup feature before they release the version.

If this Comodo Firewall backup feature was already their on v2.4 can't remember, can you please point me to the right direction I cannot find the Comodo Firewall backup setting options.

Hello SpeedyPC,

Sorry, the backup feature is not available in version 2.4. But version 3.0 may have what you're looking for :-)

My trial of Beta 3 lasted about half an hour.

After a couple of hits on any website, the connection was dropped in both Firefox and Opera.

The program locked up while viewing internet connections- it protects itself, so a forced reboot was required.

Same connection problems after rebooting.

Watch it!
