Off Topic "Comodo Firewall?" [Resolved]
« 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
