    Hi guys and gals, I've just begun using the much acclaimed and free Comodo firewall a few days ago, and I've been getting BSOD's on my baby (random time intervals, the dreaded DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error) pointing to the driver file inspect.sys. It is the latest version as of this posting. Has anyone else had this problem with Comodo before, and if so how did you solve it?

    I've been using Comodo's firewall for a year now and I haven't had a problem on the hardware below. It's strange to think that a firewall should interfere with memory demands made by drivers.

    I really should be more knowledgeable of these Microsoft BSOD's but usually when I see one I'm so disgusted I hit the power button right away to wipe it off the beautiful bright face of my baby lappy (awwwww).

    I've switched to ZoneAlarm now, which works fine and requires more or less the same amount of working memory.
