    I would like to stay with this firewall but seriously IT IS LIKE UAC TIMES ONEHUNDRED!

    Is there anny way I can get rid of those annoying popups, that ask the same questions over and over again, I've tried looking around in the options but can't really find anything that helps?

    The longer you use Comodo, the less intrusive it becomes. It's just adapting to your system. When you choose to either allow or deny a program, make sure to set it so it remembers the choice you made.

    See, that is the problem. I tell it to remember my answer over and over again, but as soon as I restart my system, it forgets everything!

    It's perfectly fine if you disable Defense+ and install TF if it bothers you a lot.

    ThreatFire, a behavioral based "antivirus". It'll take over the area of Defense+ for you and you'll get a lot less warnings.

    Lol.. It's the second annoying after UAC :p but still I believe it protects your PC and therefore ask for every steps whenever a program wants to execute itself (either its .dll or its .exe or whatever)

    Anyway, you can change settings to it by right-click on your Comodo icon on the taskbar

    Firewall Security Level >
    Defense+ Security Level >

    I wonder what would happen if someone pick "PARANOID MODE" :p

    Don't. Those who have selected it have ended up reformatting their systems on earlier Vista versions.

    Hey Calvin, ThreatFire seems cool..

    but since i already am using Ad-aware ..do u think ThreatFire is needed?

    currently, i have 3 spywares installed.

    NOD32, Webroot, Ad-aware!

    Yes, you'd want to install ThreatFire, especially since you didn't list a firewall. I suggest ditching Ad-aware and Webroot Spyspeeper for Threatfire and a good firewall such as Comodo Pro firewall with Defense+ off since you have ThreatFire.

    Also install SAS for your on-demand malware scanner.
