Possible conflict with Avast and Comodo Firewall

[John Borland]

Hello

I blocked an app with Comodo Firewall but the links to the app website still work I heard that could be a problem with Avast Web and Network shield someone have any sugestions?


Peace JB

What version of comodo firewall do you have ?
This problem with the comodo firewall and web shield redirect to the localhost proxy is meant to be fixed in the latest version/s. I don't use it so I don't know what version number that is, but by all accounts the latest version of comodo firewall has other firewall issues (not related to avast).

[John Borland]

The Comodo Firewall version is 5.10 the app is Kindle for Windows when i click in the app links it still goes to Amazon but eg the suggestions box does not send what I write witch is good.
 I would like to get rid of the advertising.

Cfw 5.10, Avast! and Windows 7 combination does not give dontrol for your outbound connections. It is like davidR explained above. Avast! Web Shield redirect to the localhost proxy and Comodo sees Avast! as a trusted program allowing the outbound connection. You need to install Cfw 5.12 or the latest Cfw 6.2.

The latest Comodo Firewall is version 6.2. Where are you getting these old and outdated versions from?

Not a good idea as the firewall on its own comes with other stuff like virtual kiosk which may not be needed.
Comodo really needs to provide just the pure firewall.
I have re-installed v5.12 myself and it works just fine with avast.

The latest comodo is becoming quite bloated.

I agree with Arnold72 CFW has become bloatware. I tried CFW and had nothing but headaches.
System lags, crash logs, slow web surfing, high CPU usage, just to name a few.

CFW does have some good points but not enough to keep me.
I went running back to Private Firewall. 

[Arnold72]

I would probably be using privatefirewall except it would not stealth any ports on my system.Not sure if this has anything to do with me using mobile broadband?

It installed ok but the stealth issue i could not resolve.
Perhaps my settings were incorrect and i have not found any solutions to this.

That link is to Comodo Internet Security and NOT Comodo Standalone Firewall. Here is the proper link.

Comodo offers the following:

1. Comodo Internet Security
2. Comodo Antivirus
3. Comodo Firewall

Yes you can get the firewall as a stand alone product and always have been able to.

144mb for just a firewall.!?
I think not...looks like the av database comes down with it as well.
This is the problem as the firewall on its own is not available.

[Aventador]

Did you actually try downloading it? Yes it is available on its own. Do not comment unless you actually try. If you click on the firewall download link it clearly says "cfw_installer.exe". If you click on the internet security download link it says "cispreminum_installer.exe". Here is a screen shot to prove it. As far as the installer size.............Well ask in the Comodo forums.

[Arnold72]

Yes im well aware of the installer thanks.
Are you saying that 144mb for a standalone firewall is acceptable.?
Its the same size as the full suite...so what does this indicate to you..?

Thanks.
