Title: Lost internet connectivity with 6.01044 install
Post by: g3b on March 24, 2011, 02:28:41 AM

Would like to know how someone who uses Comodo 5.3 firewall & Avast 6.0..., is able to get them to work together & play nice.  The earlier edition of Avast 5 series was more compatible.  On the Avast 6.01044 install I put the D+ security into the training mode thinking that would help.  It did not, when I clicked on the Firefox 4.0 icon --- it whirred away & gave me a connection reset message.  Any ideas would be welcome.  Am using windows xp service pk.3 & Comodo 5.3.

After a program update, components will have changed so your firewall might/should ask permission.

Does it allow avastSvc.exe internet access ?
- If it does delete the entry for it and reconnect to the internet, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.
