Comodo 4 firewall is running good

[JuninhoSlo]

Good to hear! I tried CIS 4 RC1 but it was terrible. I only scored 30/340 on leak tests and couldn't block some programs from writing to the registry with Defense+. How do you score on leak tests?

Are you talking about Comodo leak test suite?

Just tested...
it scored 340/340.

Can this test harm my computer?

Thx

Not sure, shouldn't be... But if you are using comodo v4, no, as it is blocking all the attempts...

i’m using ComodoFirewall V3(3.14...)

No probs, as Asyn already reported that v3.14 also scores 340/340.

well, thanx 4 the help, mate. (we're grownig 2gether more and more )
but the configuration must fit...
some hints: always use proactive settings and d+ along with the fw!!!
also latest os-sec updates will be needed... and some more, 2 get to the desired 99,98% security. i don't dare to go higher, cause 100% can never b reached if connected 2 the net, imo.

More than happy that the last infection detected on my system was 'Yankee Doodle' in the late 80ies. [avast did its part]

Are you using Avast since then???!!! And really no more infection...?

[Asyn]

no, a short time, i used mcafee. (hadn't the info i have now)
but shortly after recognizing the huge speed drop i looked 4 something else.
then i used avira, which worked well some time on w95 these days. then had update issues with it and changed 2 avast. b4 i did a in depth lookup on any products available & tested them myself, as i didn't fully trust the av-tests out there. (some vendors pay 4 good results)
so, i would say from the early 90ies avast made it possible. *applause*
but please always consider a good av is only the starting point of any well protected system!!!
so i would say, since then: 98% avast 2% the rest...
asyn

edit: huh. 4got the second question... yes!!! no more infections of any kind on any of my systems since then.!!! (except some lso-cookies, which i also can handle now) counting and hoping and learning and protecting.

HI

I asked my cousin to test his firewall but his AV program found virus in Folder CLT. FalseAlarm maybe?

just adding, I've been running the RC and the two final versions: same problem experienced on all versions, either immediately after install and first reboot or a couple of hours later:
no way to log in in Win7/64 >>> go to save mode and realize that CIS cannot be uninstalled in safe mode because services don't run in safe mode, and the protection is rather strong. Only way out is a system restore. Had this three times already with CIS4 (together with either AIS running with firewall and sandbox uninstalled, or together with Avast 5 "free", same results, a disaster happening randomly).

...and the protection is rather strong.

so u believe me now?

I guess this was a joke, I was talking about CIS anti-termination protection. OK this said, Asyn, I've been a Comodo user for years , and switched to AIS very recently. All I can tell from my testing of V4 in W7/64 is there's a huge bug interfering with the system at boot time; I've reproduced it several times now.

hmm... may be it is interfering with some system configuration. But believe me I have no problem either.

[Asyn]

'only one' !
there's more sec-related stuff...
but i better stop posting bout comodo - dont want 2 run in2 troubles..

I have to admit to getting a weird feeling when a firewall passes its own anti leak test.

I have zero confidence in such test when it is so easy to design the test so that your firewall will get 100% or to design your firewall to pass your own anti leak test.

Any such tests have to be seen as independent.

CLT is to help users properly configure their firewalls, nothing more...
