    Problem with comodo firewall apparently?
    « on: July 30, 2008, 10:14:36 PM »
    The attatched image shows what I mean. Why does it say that? I click run diagnostics but nothing is fixed-it just says that defense is not functioning properly?!? ??? ??? Also, How do I viw recent events-like when it asks for allowing internet and stuff? I have clicked all the "event" things I could find, but none shows what I'm looking for.(the requests and what my answer was).

    Thanks ahead...

    I have read that Defense + is a pain and many choose to turn it off and use ThreatFire instead.

        It's not actually an AV. It's a behavior blocker. It's designed to run alongside you antivirus.

          Ok I'll try it, but it looks like an AV.

          http://www.threatfire.com/download/

          I'll uninstall comodo and install threatfire to see how it goes. Does it ahve realtime protection and internet connection detection stuff?

            And some more help if you can... I'm have a problem with peergaurdian. Whenever I enable it, this message pops up non-stop till I exit PG. Can it be fixed?

            Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant to turn off just the Defense + and use ThreatFire in it's place. Keep the rest of Comodo installed. During the install choose to just install the Firewall and not the Firewall with Defense +. Also (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage")

            I'm not sure about the PeerGuardian issue.

            OK I installed Comodo to check it out. Once you have it installed right click the icon in the task bar and choose Firewall Security Level > Training Mode. This will make it to where you aren't warned all of the time with the pop-ups. It "teaches" itself whats good and bad for a 30 day period. You will only get the pop-up if something suspicious is trying to connect.

              Yep, you just need the firewall though and not the extras.
