I have seen this behavior occur but only on certain builds of CF. I wonder if you would try this is you can find the time: 1). Use the Comodo Uninstaller from here: https://forums.comodo.com/news-anno...do-uninstaller-v31045-released-t121091.0.html 2). Then download and install CF from here: https://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ 3). Now try to install Killswitch from the Task Menu (Watch Activity) and let me know if you met success. M
Thanks for your help! I reinstalled the image taken before install (but have saved the uninstaller link just in case), downloaded again CF and this time the Killswitch install went just fine. If I may, a question: in your vid (Comodo Firewall- The Cruelsister Variation) at 3m25s after Killswitch install, you open the Network and System tabs but don't seem to be doing anything. Am I missing something, or is it just to check that everything is fine?
Not a fan of Comodo firewall... it does not detect applications like OSS/Sygate had. It often times allows third-party applications pass through without your knowledge.
Sygate was a great firewall. Symantec got it for their security software. Not sure how much is left, but Endpoint firewall rules are similar.
Taking a completely neutral and unbiased approach to CFW free several months ago, I have found no serious concerns with it whatsoever.
whats the best light weight Comodo version for windows 10? Comodo 10 or Comodo 12 ? I notice with Comodo vs 10 doesn't give you the option of not installing the virus component. it forces you to install the anti virus component
You can download Comodo firewall only here. The full suite also gives you the option to uncheck the antivirus, and their browser and I think something else. If you install Comodo firewall, find Cruelsister's setup. It toughens it up with only a few clicks of the mouse. https://forums.comodo.com/news-anno...curity-2020-v12227098-released-t126694.0.html
Is there a text version of cruelsister's rules for CFW out there? I have ADHD and I find instructional videos are a little hard to follow with much confidence that I am getting them right. With a text It would be much easier for me to go over and check the steps I have made.
hi do they update comodo firewall ? i mean do they release some firewall update to fix bugs ? but the hash released in the forum doesn't match with the file just downloaded and MD5: B48216DCA6F745A40645248384659FDD SHA-1: 3BC265E7282BFB5C63BE6CC73A2B7AAD9A060904 on the forum Code: MD5: c98b561e01f0c1592a2ac2b362706d19 SHA1: d67540a3d83e62bb4660e887badd939c7c471389 thanks
@cruelsister I was wondering if you would care to respond to this assertion below re CF, made more than once I think, by Sandboxie dev: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/cybergenic-shade-sandbox-tool.380371/page-10#post-3010615 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sandboxie-breaks-on-windows-10.437820/#post-3011014
Thanks @cruelsister for responding here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/cybergenic-shade-sandbox-tool.380371/page-10#post-3014423
I should have added that under no circumstances should the Script Analysis function of CF (enabled by default) be disabled. If it is even my cat (no offense, Ophelia) could breach CF.
If one has riff-raff such as children or foolish friends using your system, then yes- by all means as this will prevent settings from being changed. Further, one can also enable silent mode so there would be no alerts, just malware slaughter.
I see from release notes link at bottom of: https://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ that CIS - and presumably CF - have not been updated since 02 Mar '20: https://cdn.download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/updates/release/inis_5150/release_notes.html Wanting to use WVSX with CF combo, but wondering if CF maintenance can be trusted? One just wants Comodo to be on top of tracking relevant changes in Windows.
I been keenly aware of Comodo containment in versions earlier and script analysis feature. As such I don't speculate but curious @cruelsister on how effective WMI + Powershell (also sections malware is proved to seat command in them both as a workaround doorway to assign a rogue persistence entry code to bypass detections. Does Comdo contain them as well?
