Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20605628 en Thu, 03 Dec 2009 03:05:09 EDT Thu, 03 Dec 2009 03:05:09 EDT Re: Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20613488 anon : Go into your services menu and stop/disable Comodo firewall before you try the un-install. I use Comondo, and that is how I remove it from Vista Ultimate x64; removed completely without problems.......... Hope this helps]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20613488 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:08:36 EDT Re: Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20610582 PeeWee : Vista likes to make decisions for you, any conflicts in Defender?

@tmaertin: 1) I left the UAC enabled, but Revo runs with admin privileges... I could play the UAC card, nonetheless. Thanks 2) The Vista Firewall is still disabled

@everybody

Thank you all, guys, for your support!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20609681 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 04:32:18 EDT Re: Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20608981 tmaertin : Shot in the dark here but:

1) Is UAC turned off while you are removing Comodo using Revo?
2) I believe with the uninstall the Vista firewall reenables itself. Have you tried disabling this after the uninstall

Maybe you've tried these...just hadn't seen them mentioned yet. Cudni's response above mine is also a good next step

Then reboot the computer and let it find the new device and install the drivers for it. The uninstall process could be screwing the driver setup and that might fix it. I've seen it happen on XP, no reason that it couldn't occur on Vista as well.

I guess I'll have to stick with Comodo (disabled) until the next format...

you might have to set up manually the card. Is it set to pick the ip address automatically?

Cudni
Yep, I tried configuring it both ways: 1) IP/DNS assigned by the router, and 2) user defined IPs with router's DHCP turned off. If Comodo is installed, it works both ways, otherwise the situation won't change, no matter how I set up the card...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20605671 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:22:07 EDT Re: Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20605664 Cudni : you might have to set up manually the card.

Why using third party removal tool? What happens if you remove via Add/Remove progs? What happens then, what are the error messages with network card, if any?

Cudni
Revo uses Comodo's tool to remove it, then looks for files/registry keys which weren't removed.
There aren't error messages, the network tray icon just shows a yellow triangle (limited connectivity) instead of the regular blue/green planet.

@get the rebels: I didn't ask at the official forums, as similar problems were extensively debated in various threads, but the instructions didn't help in my case...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20605661 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:10:10 EDT Re: Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20605643 Cudni : Why using third party removal tool?

I'm desperately trying to get rid of Comodo Firewall (3.0.25.368 on Vista, as I write: good firewall overall, I just don't need it anymore), but every time I uninstall it (with Revo in Advanced mode) and remove its countless traces (as described here), my network card (Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet) won't connect to the internet until I give up and reinstall the firewall. The problem doesn't seem to affect the wireless adapter, though.

Any ideas on how to permanently get rid of it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20605628 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 06:45:23 EDT
