New Comodo firewall coming later today

While there were several issues I had with it, my primary dislike was with its heavy footprint, over 26MB of memory utilization in the last version.

 

Hmm, how does that compare with Outpost Pro mem usage?

 

No idea, I've never used Outpost.

 

Instead of the anticipated final, RC5 is out. Looks like this didn't stay in Beta long enough!

Btw, you guys who don't like Comodo's mem usage, which FW do you like from that perspective?

 

Jetico, Ghostwall, Kerio 2.1.5. I´ve read good things about OA FW mem usage too.

 

Kerio 2.1.5, LnS, and PC Tools Firewall Plus

 

Do any of them work with Windows Ent Server 2003?

Before Comodo, I used L'n'S, which is very light, but it was way too 'nervous' (excessive alerts) to suit me!

 

The latest version 2.4.16.174 has been released. I installed it today at 12:30pm. Looks good to me.

 

I´m not sure but Ghostwall says that it supports Windows 2003.

 

I keep getting errors when installing

 

Me too.

 

Cheater 87 - WOW. What's with that. I clicked the Updater, and it basically installed itself. Maybe if you reboot and try again.

 

error no:108
it stuck at %17
if it keeps like that I will remove comodo and install PC tools firewall

 

Cheater87 - A thought just occured to me. I did my update only an hour after I checked and it said no update available 12:40PM. I would guess that by now, 3:50PM every one is trying to do the update at the same time and you can't access. I would wait until dinner time and try again.

 

Good idea. But if it wasn't able to complete the install and it stopped at 12% will it mess up my computer since it was installing then had to stop?

 

Is there any difference in version 2.4 about memory usage,is it same or less?

 

Cheater87 - I really doubt it. I think the server got overloaded with calls for the update and fainted. I think if you wait until it calms down like mid-night it"ll sail through. (I hope) Check the Comodo forum and see if anybody submitted a post complaining.

 

The forums are being updated now and I saw some posts about update errors.

 

I hope partially updating will not cause any problems!!!!!!!!
I restarted PC BUT while trying to update it seems it is stuck at 1767 kb .I tried to clean temporary folders with CCleaner no way.It is the same.

 

I heard about turning off the virus and anti spyware scanner's shields while updating and that still didn't help. Does it help?

 

No it doesnt.I keep getting error code 108.Is it the same for you.I also tried to download from the comodo page it also does not work.The servers are down.I will wait till tomorrow and hope that partial update should not cause any problems.

 

Hey cheater, would you know the link for the new final version? I'm still seeing 2.3.6 on their site!

 

Everybody wants to download CPF, I have never seen this with a new version of update of a firewall!!!

I try to download it and it says:

"This site is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance. Please bear with us, we will be back shortly."
