How is Comodo 3 for system resources in XP? I currently am using XP SP2 firewall and am considering using Comodo, will Comodo have a big impact on my system and slow me down? My XP SP2 firewall alreday got all greens on the GRC Sheilds Up! tests. I know outbound protection seems to be a big deal, but I don't really think I need it because I don't go to any malware-ridden sites so I never get infected. I have dial-up if that matters, so I'm not always connected to the internet.

I have to try it into XP.
In Vista, for the 6th time, it fails to install the network driver (not digitally signed). Shame and pity.

I read in the Comodo Forum that the final release is forgetting Avast is installed. Anyone else seeing this? I have read about the slowdowns in the Avast Help section. Thanks.

Ohohoho! It looks like my laptop is staying away from Comodo... again! >:( What's happening with this product ? Nothing but trouble lately... does that mean they are not able to cope with programming for Vista ?
Oh well... back to ZA free again... ::)

I'm surprises, astonished, with the lack of real support... nothing...

Well... first of all, you should be aware that outbound protection will not protect you from any kind of malware sites anyway. Its purpose is not to do that. It's purpose is mainly to protect you from applications "calling home" and stop malware spreading out of your computer to other systems you communicate with. So I would say it is important, it is very important to have adequate outbound protection. Vista's firewall has some outbound protection and it's a lot better than having nothing, but you are on XP and you have no outbound protection at all... so my advice is to find some firewall with good outbound protection and do it ASAP.
Avoiding sites with malware is not an answer to this problem... why ? Because you can not possibly know which sites are malware infected and which are perfectly clean. Even some most trustworthy web portals get infected sometimes...

What amazes me is isn't Comodo some sort of security signature provider, this is supposed to be the reason that they can provide the free products

Comodo Firewall V3 is actually quite outstanding ...
it got very interesting Defender+ module with 'heuristic' and to my shock it's able block lot of 'malware' including autoexploit ran ones...
definitely thinking about use (i wait one or two more patches :))
-
As you know Comodo just came out with their new Version 3.0.12.266 within the past couple of days. For you folks with Vista that are having a driver problem this may be of some use to you. I just received a update to the Version 3.0 today. Now the version is 3.0.13.268. I don't know if this will solve the Network Driver issue for Vista or not. Just thought I would let you all know about the latest update available.
-
Hey Neal, thanks for the heads-up! I think I will give it a try, although some people told me it's better to wait few days more and see if there are some major patches to be released...
I truly hope Comodo will not be heavy on system resources... Vista is such an eater alone, don't need another SysRes Hog around ;D

Yes true...

I am testing it for the last 2 hours and I have to say I am impressed how it works. It looks like it doesn't use a lot of resources, and I also noticed browsers are opening a lot faster now, plus there is no delay in opening pages like in ZA free. I'll see how it behaves in next few days, but so far it looks like a real refreshment after ZA Free on my Vista Ultimate laptop.
EDIT: I have to add that my Vista system was never this responsive like it is now... it really looks like it came back to life. I also installed Comodo Firewall 3 on my desktop (XP) and it works like a charm. So, I guess I jumped the gun in one of my previous posts... Comodo, welcome back!
-
I am using the latest version 3.0.13.268 and it's working just great for me. :)
It also works just great with my V.O.I.P. programs that I use. :)
-
I don't like the V3 version of Comodo. What's the word that i am looking for ? Ah yes OVERKILL !!!
I installed it the other day and it gave me hell when i tried to run a few of my games. Popup after popup after popup after popup. It's damn annoying when you have to enter and exit the game a few million times(and get a BSOD while you're doing that) to let Comodo know that yes you want the game to access the keyboard and mouse and joysticks etc. etc. If i wanted a HIPS i would have installed it, i just want a simple firewall and the only questions i want to see from a firewall are, would you like to allow xxx program to connect to the internet ! That's all ! Not a billion pop ups related to everything else that i don't care about ... Not to mention you almost need a doctorate to understand this firewall. Actually i wouldn't even call it a firewall anymore it's more of a HIPS program than a firewall.
This is just my personal opionion but i would like to hear what makes this firewall so good as a firewall that you guys praise it so much ? Or is it more a matter of the fact that it does so well in the leak tests and you guys just have to use whatever is in spot nr.1 at matousec leak tests ?
-
For me, Comodo, even without HIPS is a nightmare. See here (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=31613.0;topicseen).
I'm thinking some low level driver from HP is preventing the installation of the network driver.
It's a pity that it does not have an installation log that could show the conflict or the problem.

Miha, it simply works on my end, I haven't tested it deeply or anything like that. I know it passes all tests so I didn't bother doing it all over again. You could choose simple interface when starting it for the first time and you would get a lot less pop-ups. I don't have them at all now. Because I went to Firewall section, Define a new trusted application and Define a new Blocked application and did it all manually. I added all my applications that I know I want to let connect, and I also added all those I don't want to call home ever. Not a single question this firewall asked me after. Defense+ module is completely disabled on my end. I simply don't need it. If you enabled it I understand why you got all those annoying questions, but in the same time I am 100% sure there is a wonderful and effective learning curve so it wouldn't bug you that much after some time of using it... As I said I don't use Proactive defense, I just use Network defense and that's what I need.
I have to say that GUI is very pretty now, clean colors easy for the eyes, and its very intuitive. Informations are highly accessible. I am really impressed with this baby... Best of all, I have no clue it is even installed on my machines. So light it is crazy... pages are opening in a split of a second and I simply can't remember when it happened last time on my machine (I had that ZA free installed for so long... finally it's gone for good).
-
Yes i believe you Sash when you say that it works for you but it doesn't work for me, would you use a program that produces BSOD's on your rig ?
Also this isn't the first time i got BSOD's with Comodo it happened to me with v2 on XP aswell. But that was an even bigger problem(random BSOD's caused by inspect.sys).
So you can understand me when i say Comodo is off my computer for good ?
EDIT: BTW the new and "excellent" HIPS was the only attraction point v3 had for me. Since it was supposed to be so quiet ...

Hi Miha,
Like to stick to the previous version with the 3.0 update data. Why all these programs grow to be overbloated?

Whilst I don't use comodo firewall, I couldn't agree more about bloat, now it seems everyone wants to be all things to all men and I think we are going to see more problems when these jack of all trades applications clash as they cross into other applications areas.
My own firewall Outpost Pro 4.0 has lots of plug-ins, but the Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 adds yet more. So I'm currently sitting on my heels waiting for it to mature (read iron out any kinks) and make my decision if I will upgrade. Considering I have a lifetime license and the upgrade won't cost me a penny, many would say upgrade.

Yes, yes Miha I completely understand you and I believe those problems made you crazy mad about it. I felt the same way before although I never had any kind of BSOD on my machine. I felt the same way about Comodo, but I just posted this because now it really works fine for me and I've noticed my machine is a lot more responsive than just two days ago... so I gave it thumbs up in this field.
I also hate when application goes bloatware... there is nothing worse than that, but as I said, there is an option to permanently disable DEFENSE+ feature what I did it. Now I have super light firewall that doesn't make my system slow.. That's exactly what I've been looking for, for so long...

It's good that it works well for you and that you are happy with it but i just don't like this new version no matter how i look at it.
I never thought i would say it but i actually will stick with PC Tools Firewall for now as the new one works very well on my Vista system.
I am still waiting for avast! firewall but that probably won't happen anytime soon so in the mean time PC Tools will have to do.
Besides it isn't bloated and i like that. ;)

Lack of support: this is Comodo nowadays...
Sent email, nothing.
Post in forum, nothing.

Yes, for that there is no excuse. They are buttheads if they think they don't have to provide technical support to their users just because they are giving us freeware version of the program. Same is with avast! free, Alwil gave us a wonderful opportunity to use this product for free, and there still is technical support... you come here, you ask something and in no time you'll get your answer. Where else can you get that ? Not at Comodo forum, that's sure thing... ::)

I had it at learning mode at first and it worked for my normal programs, it was only when i fired up my games did problems start happening.
First a black screen as it blocks the game, then a million popups in the right hand corner on whatever it was learning followed by a long brake and then a BSOD. This happened with a few games, i then took the learning mode off and after some more pop up clicking the games worked.
But i just don't want to use a program that will BSOD on me and it isn't the first time aswell. I had problems with v2 in the past(i was using XP back then) when it kept BSODing my machine at random.
Like i said the HIPS was the main reason i installed v3, i don't really like HIPS but it was claimed the one in this program is going to be so good it will need very little user interaction and as i found out it still needs some work.

Totally agree with that.
-
Hi Miha,
I could not discuss this with you if I did not upgrade to 3.0. After doing so, I must admit honestly that I like it. The learning curve works for me. No I cannot say I have the reservations others have, Tor plays ball, no trouble whatsoever as I had with other firewalls like ZA. Comodo has not disappointed me.
I like to have a solid firewall, specially while the viral threat level is elevated at this moment. I do not have many proggies out of the ordinairy, and I give those that I know a privileged status. Also works fine with Comodo BoClean and no problems alongside Avast. Not bad really this new Comodo FW Pro.
On the other hand there are those to say that without any firewall people can be secure. I post about this subject later.

I am currently using the comodo3 and found it to be the best firewall ever, I don't get all those popups just that its learning and its real light on resources. There is also a log viewer, once you click on firewall events-more. I am using windows vista home premium. I am alos using it with avast pro
-
Hi Damian !
Glad that your Comodo experience is going well, unlike my own. I'm perfectly satisfied with what i have right now so Comodo not working for me is not the end of the world . ;) Besides i'm tired of switching firewalls all the time. If Comodo works for you and you like it than use it by all means. I'm not trying to get anyone away from Comodo i just posted my experience with it.
-
Hi Miha,
Never even suggested such a thing. It is completely depending on what you run on your OS. Well Comodo FW also has its hickups sometimes to launch an application for instance VLC media player with Comode FW not only does it need Trusted Application Status also must be run as an installer before Comodo FW Pro allows me to start it up to run streaming radio. So it is not all sugar and cream, on the other hand they actually thought of all sort of things there. I only left ZA because it crashed on launching Tor.exe, and when a firewall does not allow a legit application to be started or even crashes, I have to say goodbye to such a piece of software.

That is a very important aspect, and the developers of the Avast Firewall better keep this in mind. You have to consider various patterns of users, and have various levels of the firewall with these various users in mind.
I for instance am a user that like my port 80 actions safe/secure, and also my media ports (radio, video etc). I like secure webmail. I do not use services like messaging, skype etc. I like to monitor what goes on under the hood. Other users have other demands: safe downloading, sharing, blogging, Web 2.0 or Web 3.0 security. Not an easy task to serve a firewall for all tastes...

Hahaha you should see what happened when I installed that piece of crap Online Armour or whatever it's called (trying to forget it ASAP). Whole computer froze, not a single application would even start, total mess. Thanks God for Norton Ghost... it saved my life million of times.

Now I have the impression that some of the Comodo betas messed my installation and is avoiding any firewall to be correctly installed...
-
I would search every single corner for leftovers of each and every firewall you installed in the past. Clean registry and if needed do it manually. If you have some older system image backup, just restore it and start clean. That's why I always have my most recent super stable system image ready, and I also keep super clean Windows installation with all security updates available at that point without any single third party application installed... just pure and untouched Windows SP2. I keep that image on my DVD and if I ever need to go back, I have it ready... in less than 10 minutes I am up and running a super clean installation of Windows XP Pro SP2. How much time it would take me to install it from the scratch ? Of course prior restoring any one of those backups, I do backup of all my documents and my emails, Firefox bookmarks etc. All my work source files are on a separate partition anyway, so I never touch them when restoring my system. I also have all my work files backed up on a separate external HD and two DVDs.
Don't know what to advise you Tech, but those two possibilities may help... :-\

Tech make you delete three directory related to Comodo after you uninstall the software before you run the register cleaner.
Look for (#### mean in your user name)
1. C:\Documents and Settings\####\Application Data\Comodo
2. C:\Documents and Settings\####\Local Settings\Application Data\Comodo
3. C:\Program Files\COMODO

people need to realize this is new milestone in Comodo firewall , major build, rewrite of most code, new features and all must work for thousands different configs ...
You seriously cant't await they gunna get all right instantly ...
yet the product is very promising and considering it's competition in Online Armor or Outpost 2008 suite
it does quite well in free price category ...

Thanks Sasha. Nothing related to Comodo in that folders.

Yes I believe so. Anyway, I wasn't the one who suggested this, I just mentioned it to show you the right location of that folder on Vista. Also, I am sure there is nothing in this folder that would give you all those problems you have now. I believe though, that you need to look little bit deeper into the registry, because that's exactly where the culprit to your problem could be.
-
because that's exactly where the culprit to your problem could be.
If at least I have an installation log... or an error message about conflict.
Anyway, when I try to install, there is an error regarding to compatibility with Vista, so, something is not all compatible... Vista has its problems too...
-
Yes this is strange indeed... I just don't understand why developers or at least technical support at Comodo forum won't respond to this. Have you posted this screencap over at Comodo forum ? I have no clue what kind of driver Vista is asking about... it never asked me anything about any drivers when I was installing my firewalls (PC Tools and ZA in the past and now Comodo).
-
Tech, would you be able to use the "English" version of CFP 3.0? I don't think the English version has this problem from what I have read?
-
I think he says you must delete only the folders named COMODO in those paths.
Sorry Tech I don't have Vista not yet soon I will, you have to find all the sub directory related to Comodo on your HD and delete then before you run the register.
Sometimes most file are located in the windows\system32 I'm not sure about vista.
-
Tech, would you be able to use the "English" version of CFP 3.0? I don't think the English version has this problem from what I have read?
There is not another version besides the English one.
Maybe the problem is on my Portuguese Vista, not Comodo.
-
Yes, that may be the problem you're looking answer for tech. Is there any MS forum where this question could be addressed and ask for help ?

They are, in my poor experience, worse than Comodo in terms of speed answer...

i jsut came over post on wilders where guy claims that CF3 fails to validate checksums of executables
(he exchanged opera.exe for different file accessing internet and CF3 ignored that detail)
if that true then it's serious issue
-
Sounds like a problem, I know they are using white listing, but that shouldn't be to the detriment of other validation.
I have to say I'm surprised (even though I don't use it) as when the likes of ashWebSv.exe or ashMaiSv.exe change after a program update they should be challenged, so there is obviously some form of application control. However with no idea if their settings lessen any checking isn't known.
Considering comodo is meant to be strong on leak tests this goes against all logic.

Hi Tech,

How do I set Comodo to ask connections from parent application?
I mean, the application A uses the executable B to connect. On version 2, the user was asked about this. How do I set this on version 3?

I have downloaded the comodo user guide PDF and although it relates to 2.4 I would have thought it would have been in the same area, Advanced, Application Behaviour Analysis, Parental Application Change.
Application Behaviour Analysis
Comodo Firewall Pro analyses each application’s behavior and detects any suspicious activity before granting it internet
access. This powerful new feature enables it to detect more trojan activity than any other firewall - the ultimate protection
against the leaks that the most personal firewalls fail to detect, including:
• Process memory injections
• Invisible processes
• Parent application change
• DLL/Code injections

Most importantly, user complaints about resource hogging when version 2 came out have been all but eradicated with the new model.
So, turning back to the original topic, resources aren't hog anymore...

How much resources are flying below the radar? I'm sure you've read posts by some of the ALWIL team who say you can't go by Task Manager.

Hi rdmaloyjr,
And how is it when you launch process explorer or IBProckMan? It could be the leakage is somewhat less.

Hi Polonus,
Process Explorer & Task Manager show the same on my computer.
Maybe you meant something else?
I'm not seeking an arguement, but a software product that does more generally uses more resources.
Here is a link to a post where VLK responds to me about RAM use in a fw. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=29259.msg240224#msg240224

For a free firewall, I can't say they're paying for the reviews. But, of course, sometimes people talk much more than the strict reality. I can't say this is one of the case. Anyway, my system is working very well with Comodo, both XP and Vista.

Tech welcome home to Comodo glad it working great, Tech is Comodo very stable on Vista I just like to know.

After all my nightmare, it's stable. I do not use Defence+.
Now, avast is giving me trouble. Specifically the Internet Mail provider on GMail.

If it helps to choose between:
Webroot’s Webroot Desktop Firewall
Agnitum’s Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 6.0
Online Armor Personal Firewall 2.1.0.31
Comodo Personal Firewall 3

I would never ever recommend using that crap of a firewall called Online Armor. What kind of software is that that turns some PC configurations into zombies literally ?!! Some firewalls work for some people, and some don't... but it is simply unacceptable that some security software can turn your PC into pile of crap. I have never ever seen in my whole life time anything stupid like this firewall. Thanks to wonderful developers of system backup software, they saved my life like million of times. Online Armour --> direction trashcan, permanent wipe out! ;)

OK I took the plunge and now have Comodo 3 on my Vista system - so far the setup is painless I have a little slowdown but I expect that whilst I set the rules etc.... Obviously Tech's work with Comodo worked ;D
