Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 (Final) Released Today

alls smooth now running KAV and Comodo firewall, no slow downs

 

How is NOD32 V3 and CFP 3 getting along? Anyone running both?

 

Sorry to rain on the parade, but I like Comodo 2.4 better. 3.0 has too many pop ups. It looks to me like it would never be fully trained, there would always be some combination that had not been tried yet. To a certain extent 2.4 has this attribute, but it is an order of magnitude less bothersome.

From my point of view, with defense+ on, 3.0 will only work for the most dedicated and paranoid. Ordinary humans need not bother.

 

how about leaktest ? did CPF 3 passed ?

 

With this and all else, it may seem to be getting a little bit "bloated", but let's give it a couple weeks to "mature"...

 

Man you're everywhere 19monty64. LOL. I was wondering how close in protection it would be between using just Comodo Pro 3 verses using ThreatFire with Zone Alarm Pro? Please don't crucify me for asking this in this thread. LOL. However if you love Comodo, (and I at least like it a lot) then convince me why I should use version 3 over TF and Zone Alarm Pro? Thanks. Hey 19monty64. See ya in the "other malware forum" LOL.

 

That does not make any sense. I don't get popups.

 

I downloaded the Comodo exe off the website in case I'm convinced to use it over TF and ZAAS. However right before it was done completely downloading my PC froze for a second or two. After that then, with the exe on my DeskTop I tried right clicking it to check the Properties just to make sure I had the right version, ( Windows XP 32 bit) and my PC froze again for a few seconds. Then when I went to put the exe in the Recycle Bin ( thinking i had a bad DL ) it wouldn't move right away and once again my PC froze. After that, once in the Recycle Bin it then took a few seconds before I could delete it. I also DL a ZAAS exe later and no such incident. Why did this happen?

 

Hello,
It looks as though Defense+ isn't all it's cooked up to be. Some rules are simply not remembered. As far as HIPS capability goes, Defense+ is not as fully configurable as SSM. I think it would be a combination of the FW and SSM that would provide a little more in terms of options.

 

comodo is running great for me also running about 11.4 mb i am using basic firewall i was not two crazy about the hips and i am not gotting a lot of pop ups at all compare to 2.4 it seems to remember your answer a lot better and as far as installing new version it will uninstall 2.4 reboot then you install 3.0 i did clean registery before installing new version i am very happy with new version i think comodo did a great job i am using new version with also new version of nod and counterspy and boclean and admuncher and rogue remover and everything is getting along great

 

Hi Wordward-what another move

Probably completely unrelated to Comodo,such as an app or process running

in the background-updater antivirus etc.

.

 

so is there any conflict with Avast and Comodo?

as avast has ids and comodo as well?

 

I have just installed it alongside avast!, so far nothing catastrophic, but it will take a little time to be sure.
This is on an XP machine btw

One thing that does worry me though is that there were issues with the last version due to it's protection of it's own registry keys, with FD-ISR, am wondering how it will behave now it's protecting a whole raft of keys

 

They work, they are like boyfriend and girlfriend - inseperable! No need for Threat fire either

 

I uninstalled the Webroot firewall and got this one. While webroot was good, I actually like the built in HIPS better in Comodo. The webroot one was really only a process blocker, but this is more advanced, but not as bad as SSM (good, but too advanced and noisy for my use and level of paranoia).

No problems so far, and the GUI is much better than webroot's.

edit: I forgot that webroot had options for different permissions for each process, so it wasn't just a process blocker.

 

Thanks for testing that.

 

I don't think this paticular version of COMODO is suitable for novices.
I'll just stay with the windows firewall.

 

So far so good. Best of all, i don't get prompts about my the crytographic signature of my game executables being changed which happens frequently due to patches for my online games like Guild Wars. I don't think there was an option to disable those prompts for 2.4 and i didn't need to change any settings for 3.0.

 

sorry


but I still dont know how to specify those rules derived from the popups.

Eg, I got a clean install of comodo and at the point my windows spool server wants to connect to my printer the warning popup comes up.
Now the user has the options to allow generally, to deny etc. and that comodo remembers that answer thus applying it as rule.

What I did was - cause not knowing better - to say ok, please remember and allow spoolserver to connect to IP xyz , my printer.

But on checking this rule in the network policies I recognize that the rule is now a general outgoing rule. It is not bound to my printers IP!!!

That is totally anoying. How come? What can I do easily to change that behaviour? Is it initiable from the warning pop up? Is there a hidden setting I dont know?

 

Could not be smoother. Running XP Pro on Dell notebook with NOD32 V3 and Comodo 3.

 

You can create your own rule before you get the pop-up

Seriously, you'll have to change the rule to your liking once it is created.
Network Security Policy -> Edit ->Edit

Al

 

That is quite uneasy. Imagine you want your email programme only to connect to your email server/provider. Let's assume hotmail and yahoo. then I had to look up those IP adr. and to enter the rule my self so that it is corresponding.
Lots of work

 

Way Cool!

 

DickDiver :
You have to set the alert level up. Check in fw-advanced-'one of the two last options' (i'm not looking at it right now)
If you missed this, i highly recommend you to regard Defense+ as a execution blocker only, and forget about it, so you can learn the firewall. Navigate the Firewall tab, look at the options, read the help.

 

Hi,

No need for TF with CFP v.3 ? due to ?

Overkill or

Report at Comodo's forum re conflict between TF and CFP ?
