I've just installed it. It rocks.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Just using Windows firewall (or BitDefender's) on my systems, but will give CPF 3 a look since I never tested it.

 

This appears to be quite awesome actually. I tried one of the early beta's which were buggy as hell. This however, is very polished. Runs very light, getting the stealth ratings at all the usual sites. Much easier to understand than some of the beta releases. And, what a lovely GUI!! I must say i'm impressed so far. I have defense+ turned off by the way. I don't care for leaktests. This may well be a keeper, I will keep playing.

 

Version 3 seems great so far. Running well,(on XP Home), no problems, no conflicts, reasonable boot & shut down times. Can't fault it

 

Is Defense+ easy to disable? and does the new Comodo handle p2p/gaming ok?

 

You can disable defense+ during the installation. I'm yet to put it through it's paces with p2p. It's currently running at about 13megs RAM over two processes and as yet none of the awful spikes I used to get with Comodo 2.4. By the way i'm running XP home with a shitty old Celeron 2.5ghz processor and 512 of RAM. So far so good.

 

Quick question. Do you have to uninstall v2.4 first, or do you install v3 right over the top? Thanks

 

I wouldn't know i'm afraid. I wasn't running 2.4 before hand so it was a fresh install.

 

Could someone please inform me if this can be installed also offline? Or does it absolutely need online activation?

 

OK let me re phrase my question. Can someone who upgraded from v2.4 tell me if I need to uninstall v2.4 before I upgrade, or can I upgrade over the top of v2.4 to v3?

 

Just to be safe remove 2.4 then start fresh since this is all new.

 

You will probably save yourself some grief by doing a clean install. So uninstall first - the two versions are quite different.

I'm not aware that it needs online activation. Why don't you just install it off line and see for yourself?

Sweet. I've been waiting for it for 6 months. Now, my vista is protected. I could not stand the ESS firewall.

 

Thanks Adric and rhuds13

 

Had to Ghost back. Launched Quake4 and system locked. Using Vista Premium and was unable to stop Quake4 since no mouse after using Ctrl+Alt Delete. Used to XP Pro and would have had the mouse there. Will try again later and see.

 

look at the size of it 31.4mb
what have it in setup
normal firewall is 5 to 20 mb but this is 31.4mb
why

 

All other F/W have to be uninstalled before V3, including previous versions of comodos firewalls.
Installation cannot be done in safe mode as some low_level kernel drivers cannot be installed.

Running tight and well on this end...have fun ppl

 

I imagine the HIPS component added to it's size.

 

Probably it was the whitelist

 

Yes, the withelist and also the Help file that was not present in the Beta and RC versions.

 

does this cover vista?
