    Pentium dual core E2140,1.6GHz(i think is the weakest dual core :) ),Motherboard Asus P5ND2SE,2GB Ram.

    I know but i don't get these behaviour with all firewalls(i must say that there are more that have this behaviour than more who work good from what i've tested),and usually i have higher speeds than in my screenshot.
    Just to mention that i use Event ID 4226 Patcher ,and i increased the global connections in utorrent to 400.

    Should be enough I'd say... ;)

    Yeah, quite common problem. This kind of traffic can bring even cheap HW routers and wifi down to their knees. Anyway, worth reporting to the vendor I guess.

    Is it OA (paid) definitely OK with Threatfire?

    I can't speak about the paid, but i would expect that behaves like the free version. Mind you, i use TF 3.0.14, not the latest version with the antivirus. For all i know, Twister + OA v.3 Free + TF 3.0.14 + Winpatrol Plus = OK.

    But i think i will remove TF, too much security for my taste once i will have OA. Oddly enough, oasrv and tfservice eat exactly the same CPU Time:

    Too much to bare for me. So one will go. Bye bye TF!

    I am using 64-bit right now. HP now builds computers with mostly 4gb which means mostly 64-bit. Doesn't matter how unstable it is, its going to take over in 1-2 years. And no i'm not using comodo, i prefer suites now :).

    The first reboot after installing/upgrading may be slower than normal as learning mode automatically kicks in. In my case I have to wait a few minutes before learning mode is complete and switches back to normal mode.

    Cheers.

    Hi,
    Does the free version of OA provides even the basic protection?
    It seems to lack features, however I know thats the best you can get from a free software. ;)

    :D :D :D Hahaha, I agree, probably they didn´t try 64 bit just screaming around. In future there is no way without 64. 8 GB Ram will be soon usual and graphic shapes are "sooo bad" in comparison to directx9. ;) Ever seen a game in 64 bit, compare it to your 32 bits. Nevertheless I will give OA3 soon a try/trial on another system, so Mister Topicstarter my horizon is not the way you want to push it on me.. :D and I tested earlier versions of OA be sure. I likely tested all popular security related windows products as well as some unpopular security software at least once in history.

    I think it provides pretty advanced protection. Features have nothing to do with protection, they are rather for debugging and for satisfying personal tastes.

    Yes, you can always upgrade as long as your license is valid.

    Hello.
    Does OA v3 FREE run on Vista 32? The tallemu.com says it runs on 2000/XP only, but the download.com says it supports Vista as well. I'm a bit confused. o_O

    When you combine OA free with DriveSentry free you got all the protection you need.

    Have you clicked the Comodo FREE GET IT NOW! link? :ninja:
    $39.00 per year is pretty much for a FREE software. :blink:

    The Comodo Pro FW is free, but the Comodo Pro Plus is $39 after 30 days. :)
