Re: I'm done with Comodo FW said by KoRnGtL15:As with all systems and so many different configs. Not all software plays nice with each system. I have had zero problems with it personally. I am on XP though. It seems a whole lot of people are having trouble with the Vista version. I do think they are trying to add to much way to fast. This stuff does not happen over night and they need to realize that. I am using XP also and I had issues with it on my laptop and my wifes' as well. I just went back to my old pre-norton version of sygate. Since I'm behind a router all I really want to monitor is outbound connections anyway.

kudos:1 | I am not impressed with Comodo either. I am still using Kerio 2.1.5 on my XP machines.
Can anyone tell me what was the last version of Comodo that was stand alone firewall? I think that version did MD5 signature checking as well. Does anyone know by any chance? |

That's what I'm using on my WinXP. No, it was 3.0.25.378. Both versions 2.4 and 3.0 are available at FileHippo »www.filehippo.com/download_comodo/ (3.0 uses D+ which I consider an essential component of Comodo's firewall.)
FWIW, I test drove Online Armor and I'm not willing to try it again. Blue screen crashes are not something I'm willing to go through again. I'll stay with Comodo 3.5 forever before doing that again... |

I'll stay with Comodo 3.5 forever before doing that again... Which goes miles confirming that some software, for whatever reason, doesn't like some computers. Who knows?
My intent wasn't to deflect this discussion towards a "better than" direction. As others have said, regarding the creeping bloat some tools have exhibited over the years, I too was very pleased with the old ZA. I used Comodo for some time too, before it began to .. swell.
It wasn't very long ago, having used Online Armor and Kerio before it, that I was curious enough to take another look at Comodo and Outpost. Both, no doubt, fine tools.
Outpost, like OA for you, doesn't like my computer .. and, Comodo wasn't anything like I'd remembered using earlier. Very, very "busy". I didn't spend much time trying to calm it either.
From earlier in this thread .. I'd thought to mention that, to me, OA is built solid, like a tank. It's functioning here is, has been, completely flawless. I consider it to be one of the finest (if not the finest) software firewalls currently available.
I run admin. And, I like being able to designate programs I choose to "run safer" mirror the limitations of running LU.

Thanks. I will check it out.
I will assume that version 2.x does not have D+ so do you know if 2.4.18.184 does MD5 checking? |
