New Comodo is out: 2.3.4

This new build is a great improvement , the gui runs very smooth now feels light and quick ,the last build was a bit laggy . I like the way there is a system try icon for the firewall gui, i allways previously disabled the try icon and ran the gui from cpf.exe as a quicklaunch, the main try icon is just an annoying advert thing like macfee do with their security center. The ability to choose how "noisy" the alerts are is a good feature, can be as paranoid as jetico or as silent as za , general cosmetic improvements make it even more n00b friendly i have recomended this firewall to many people, what a great firewall this is and it seems to be getting better, i choose comodo over many others that i also have like outpost jetico look n stop tiny , keep up the good work

 

Yep, I like it too.

 

Wait and see the innovation we will bring into CPF! Hopefully you will change your mind about the above statement then ;-)

Well, I said that because what I saw about the new incoming version of Outpost PRO

But I believe in you because I see all the effort that Comodo Team are doing to make this firewall as best as possible.
Besides that, you have the great advantage, in relation to the others companies, that is: you listen the users and really support them...

Great job!

 

Thanks VaMPiRiC_CRoW
We will do our best not to disappoint our users!

Hi Melih,

While I realize that the new version allows users to "disable" Launch Pad, will the next release of Comodo Personal Firewall still mandatorily include the Launch Pad? Or will that be changed to accomodate the many users who want to see it as an "option" during installation?

Congrats and good job on your latest release of CPF, and please keep up the good work!

 

I would just like to say thanks for this very nice firewall it was a breeze to setup and use.

cheers

 

Glad you like it! Comodo is already working on the 2.4 beta! Oh and the CAVS 2.0 will be released next month so keep your eyes open for that!

 

i think comodo is better than outpost atleast on terms of usability.
Outpost 4 now with proactive defense and what no,slows down pc,gives too many prompts..
comodo has always been nice on my pc,with i think the best GUI and a very good support.
kudos to comodo.

 

I keep downloading version 1 instead of 2.3. Anyone know what the problem is?

 

Lol, yeah, my computer is slow at times. Why? Microsoft Windows And no I don't have dual core.

@so.fongy:
A lot of people on the Comodo forums also have this issue, I believe. Some said completely uninstalling CPF, downloading the setup.exe again (I recommend trying to clear your internet cache before that) and trying to install again works.
If that doesn't work, well, I think you should try the CPF forums

 

The digital signature of the file is dated 1 Sept 2006. It is the same old link for 2.2.

 

Maybe you should clear the Internet temporary files in your browser.

 

Its no real drama just disable clp tray in msconfig and launch the firewall gui as a quicklaunch from cpf.exe, have always dones this on all builds makes life easer

 

Launchpad can already be disabled as the firewall now has its own tray icon you can disable it by...

1.Right click launchpad then click options
2.Uncheck the box that says "Start Comodo Launchpad On Windows Startup"


Sorry i think he meant will it actually come with the installer instead of having to disable it.

 

This new Comodo Firewall installed well.

On XP Home with 512mb RAM it's using just under 24,000 K.

 

Not good first impressions:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23287.msg192283#msg192283

Anyone else having troubles with avast's proxies with Comodo?

 

I dont use Avast so I cant validate that, but doesnt that "problem" belong to the fact that Firefox needs to listen to the localhost? Best thing to do when one is not sure of how a software runs things is to ask the developers directly at their forum.

I think Comodo is the best firewall around and it's FREE!
I"ve tested it with all the leak-tests I have and passed them all!

The new version is even lighter then the previous one: only 14 MB RAM. Good work Comodo team!

 

I don't know if I'm ready yet to declare Comodo the best firewall, because I have only been trialing this latest version since earlier today. I am a serious fan of Outpost Pro, ver 3.51, but I wanted to try Comodo because of all the hype it has been getting, especially in this forum.

Thus far I am extremely impressed with what I am seeing from it. I have the Alert frequency level set to Very High, so the warnings are numerous to say the least I find setting up rules to be quite cumbersome because it does not allow me to set up port ranges on the fly; I have to go in after the fact to fine-tune the rules on this. I also wish it would log as clearly as Outpost does, especially with concern to network traffic.

I threw all kinds of leak tests at it and Comodo thwarted them easily. In all, the defenses this firewall places on the system look to be awesome. After spending some quality time playing around with this fw, I will have more to say.

One question: Does anyone know if a configuration file - especially for rules - can be saved in case the fw requires re-installation. i would hate to have to re-create all these rules again

Thank you in advance.

 

Fellow Creatures,
I loaded it yesterday, after removing McAfee Personal Firewall which included a registry clean of broken or useless keys. There were not that many.

Then I decided to turn off the Launch Pad by clicking tray icon and options and not to launch at start up and then rebooted a second time.

At reboot McAfee stated "Suspicious file recommend Virus scan". I did and it was clean no PUP on infections detected. During all this time BoClean never complained at all. McAfee fluke. I guess. I run McAfee with heuristics off.

This firewall so far has operated flawlessly, nice interface everything handy; one click at most to get to what you want to see. McAfee you have to click all over the place it seems not nearly as laid out as nice. Easy to set up too. Still messing with it and evaluating it so...

It's a keeper on my family machine.

 

What about rules for bittorrent etc.Are there any presets,or do you have to create .

 

I had no problem at all, no need to create a special rule.

 

I just opened bittorent port in Network rules for Azureus (Comodo Bittorent FAQ).

 

Just in case you are interested, Comodo launch pad can be removed by going to program files and clicking on comodo and you will see two folders one for comodo and one for launch pad. Just delete the launch pad folder and launch pad won't bother you again. I did this several days ago and the firewall still works just fine, it doesn't miss launch pad at all. It works perfect for me but if it doesn't for you you might have to reinstall it, but I don't see that happening as it has worked perfectly on three comps I have done it to.
