Version 6 killed Comodo
« on: February 25, 2011, 09:27:15 AM »
I upgraded to new version 6 free edition yesterday.

It disabled my free edition of the Comodo firewall.
I got that running again by means of a clean reinstall of Comodo.

When I booted this am........Comodo was disabled again.

Have reverted back to Avast free version 5.1.889 and Comodo is behaving as it should again.

Will stick with 5.1.889 until it becomes unsupported and will then change to another AV prog.

Considering CIS is at 5.3.174622.1216 and you version was released on 30th May, 2008 - may I suggest to upgrade finally  ??? :o

As far as I can see, my version is the latest for a stand alone firewall. I don't want a CIS.

You can install a standalone firewall just fine w/ CIS installer - read the documentation. You won't get any support for completely obsolete products from Comodo and noone at Avast is going to bother with compatibility issues either, I'm afraid.

You don't need to install CIS . Comodo Firewall  v5 is here (the first of the list) :

http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/free-download.html

if you don't want Defense + nor the sandbox, just disable them and clear the Trusted Vendor List and put the FW in Custom settings mode.....

It's the same product/installer - will download CIS. Their website sucks bigtime and confuses the hell out of users.

Thank you all for your comments, advice and pointers.

Please bear with me...at 89 years old I need some time to understand all this.

Will be back at some point to update on progress.

Just a thought - is comodo FW really not working, or is it just that windows security centre says it isn't?

(I have had a problem in the last couple of days with windows reporting that comodo FW isn't running - but when I check comodo it is actually fine (a reboot has solved this for me so far).

yeah neither the free version of Avast nor the paid ones have the ability to disable any firewall. So it must just be "Action center" messing around as usual.

If two Antivirus are in realtime protection that may always a problem to run which is in higher priority. Simply select only firewall in Comodo, then make a flexible in your system.
