    Comodo FREE firewall, "FULL" download ?


    hi !

    there is a new version of Comodo firewall available, with some new protection, fx. a built-in sandbox.

    Download site:
    Firewall Software Download | Free Computer Protection

    but, why cant i download the firewall "normally" ?

    i tried, but i only got the cfwfree_installer.exe: 2,7 MB

    when i start it, the installer wants to download the complete firewall, 48,2 MB, and it tells me that: "the present version 3.x must be uninstalled before proceeding."

    i´m confused, should i uninstall my firewall and run my computer WITHOUT a firewall while i´m upgrading the firewall ???

    WTF ???

    of course i always disconnect from the internet while i´m upgrading my security.

    is the FULL download available somewhere ?

    Rule #17: Sorry.
    Do not post direct download links for programs, post links to the free program's download website instead. The program's website with more information available about it is more trusted.
