Comodo Firewall

Hi all

Recently purchased a new lappy and was looking at installing Comodo firewall on it. Just a few questions, if anyone could help.

1. I already have AVAST, AdAware and Spyware doctor installed. Would I need to remove any of these or is it a case of the more the merrier (to a point) with antivirus etc.

2. Would I be adequately secured with the three programs I have installed (listed above).

3. Has anyone had any problems with this firewall?

Thanks in advance guys

 

Install Comodo... Dont uninstall anything... Comodo is the Best Free Firewall

 

Thanks for the feedback dude. I'll try it later and se how it goes

 

Just be sure to disable defense+ as it may get annoying.

 

Thanks, I read somewhere that defense + can be a pain alright.

Also apologies for posting in the wrong forum, didn't see the Security and Anti-virus Software thread.

 

Yes i also recommend this. I use this combination and it's better than defense+ IMO.

 

So you reckon Threatfire, Comodo, AVAST, AdAware and Spyware doctor isn't overkill??

 

Threatfire, comodo, antivir if you want to keep low on resources but high on security.

 

Thanks again guys

 

No problem, be sure to post again if you're having problems.

 

Updated Version 3.0.16.295 released Feb 4th 2008

# NEW! Anti-Leak Configuration:
- A new default configuration is introduced to make D+ show fewer number of popup alerts while still remaning leak proof.
# NEW! On-Demand Virus Scanning:
- CFP now provides an option to scan for viruses during the installation and from its graphical user interface
# NEW! A-VSMART Warranty Program:
- CFP now provides the users an option to enroll one of the available A-VSMART Warranty programs
# IMPROVED! Self-Defense:
- There has been various reports that CFP 3.0 is attacked by some malware to disable its protection.
The self defense has been modified such that an ungraceful termination of CFP will block every unknown action (i.e. it will function as if "Block all unknown actions if the application is closed" option is selected. This option was not enabled by default).
# IMPROVED! Default Configuration:
- Default configuration now protects more registry keys and more COM interfaces.
- Default Web Browser and FTP Client policies are modified to support passive FTP requests
# IMPROVED! Handling of known code executing applications:
- Defense+ has been modified such that some known code executing programs such as rundll32.exe or windows scripting host are not autimatically trusted anymore.
# IMPROVED! Pending Files:
- Defense+ has been modified such that it is not going to report any pending files if it is not in clean PC mode.
# FIXED! Bugs in Defense+ Engine:
- Fixed numerous bugs that could stop Defense+ to properly handle the suspicious actions(e.g.bugs in registry and file protection, key logging etc).
- Fixed the bug that could prevent CFP from functioning properly in certain types of hardware configurations(e.g. when a USB harddisk is present etc.).
# FIXED! Minor Bugs in the Graphical User InterfacVersion

Yeah, i just got that message. Downloaded it, gonna restart now.

 

Done my update some hours ago and this time enabled Defense+, never used it before due to bad reports.
Well blow me down with the motherinlaw's G-String no problems and Defense+ doing its job just fine...

 

Total opposite for me, the firewall update caused some freaky problem with my startup menu and i had to system restore. It was a pain in the ass but i'm not sure if i should complain.

 

Sorry to hear this Calvin, I did the auto update and still stable this side. Try their forum to see if others have such an issues as yours.

 

Haven't had any problems either, Calvin. I think I'd just uninstall and then download it again. Anyway, good luck; I know you like the app.

 

I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks guys.
