You think there's some incompatibility between Avast and Comodo?
The trouble is: because of the intermittancy of this problem, I'd probably end up having to go a whole day without a firewall up, and I'm a little reluctant to do that. I mean, if I uninstall Comodo and then Avast starts working again, I'd need to keep Comodo uninstalled at least until the next day to see if Avast still worked when I turned on the computer again. If that makes sense?
The frustrating thing is that 99% of the time that I have these weird little compatibility issues (and I'm talking over the years with every computer system I've ever had, not just specifically this one I'm using right now), all I have to do is tick or untick something somewhere. Sometimes it's right there in front of my face, other times it's cleverly hidden where I might never find it.
I feel like this might be one of those times, too, it's just that I haven't found the right box to tick or untick yet ...
