Title: Off Topic "Comodo Firewall?" [Resolved]
Post by: Para-Noid on May 29, 2013, 08:29:40 PM
I have recently begun to have CFW pop-ups freeze. And I was wondering if any other CFW users are experiencing the same issue?
The pop-ups occur then freeze until I do a "hard" shut-down. The pop-ups are for the HIPS as I have the CFW "behavior blocker" disabled. They don't happen very often. But often enough to tick me off.

I posted on the Comodo forums and they want me to disable avast...that's not gonna happen.
If nothing else I'm going back to Private Firewall.

Hi Para-Noid!

I'm using Comodo-FW without 'GeekBuddy' and without 'Defense+' in 'Safe Mode' (Comodo settings) since years and I have no troubles at all.

Did you set your FW & D+ in training mode and did you exclude it correctly after 2 or 3 days than switch back to safe mode, IF so please send me your complete screenshot settings of Avast and Comodo FW so I can have a look.

Edit: Did you run a Comodo FW Diagnostics

I refused installing D+ and GB and it never run in training mode. Usually I control the settings right after install and if necessary I change the settings.
BTW: I never run FW diagnostics.

5.12!

You're safe because v6.1 is very strong and very aggressive and very tricky to control in between Comodo vs Avast

Without 'Defense+
If you not using D+, which is where the HIPS is, why even bother with a third party firewall?  ???

@ SpeedyPC  I have been using CFW for several months so training mode was quite a while ago.
                      I did a clean install of CFW over two months ago. No difference. CFW v6.0

Well it's an issue between Comodo and Avast and as this topic is solely devoted to a Comodo issue I see no reason it cant be continued here.

No. Bob's right it is a Comodo issue.

The thread is "Toaster Pop-Ups".

edit: It's about why CFW freezes not about any avast/CFW conflict.

Used this correct download link http://www.filehippo.com/download_comodo/download/f75e1fd4170a42d1290e128caf365905/ (http://www.filehippo.com/download_comodo/download/f75e1fd4170a42d1290e128caf365905/)

Because I've got it and double checked it v5.12.59641.2599 IF you want it just in case

That link worked!

I'm going to stick with 6.0 unless it starts to act up again. 6.0 has a smaller installer file.
Since I did another clean install I'm leaving it on "training mode" (again) for a few days.
For now the GUI is behaving with no acting up.

Thanks!  :)

Comodo v6.1 is worth a go as it is a really smooth runner now.
Its had several bug fixes.

If your looking for an older version of the comodo firewall then this website may help.
Thanks.
