Comodo Firewall

Does CFW rely on Windows Firewall Service to run properly?

 

no.I have windows firewall disabled at all levels including the authorization driver.

 

Ok, that is what I thought, I have the service disabled.

 

Windows firewall is never completly disabled, the service MUST be enabled (dependency RPC).

 

Do you mean just turn the windows firewall off?
Ive disabled the service and the authorization driver too in device manager.

 

Salut,

Yes, Windows firewall off, but service ON (RPC).

 

Just had a look at the properties of the windows firewall service and it has no services dependent on it running.

 

Windows Firewall is safe to disable when using other 3rd party solution.

When asking about a service I always look at Black Viper.
NOTE: It seems that in Vista Windows Event Collector depends on Windows Firewall service, just a heads up.
