Comodo Firewall Pro

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello all....

I'm about to install CFP v# 3.0.25.378; and I would like to hear some feedback. Is anyone running CFP on Windows 7 yet?

Comodo Firewall Pro

Thank you!

Hello again....

When I attempt to install CFP I get this and CFP doesn't show up in "Installed Programs"; any ideas? And yes; I disabled WF first.

Hi Ted,

You may want to try the comodo internet security download and install rather than the firewall on it's own.

Mine shows 3.5.54375.427 as build info - I only run the firewall but install via the CIS download and uncheck the AV option

Hello Nigel; I love the avatar....

Thanks for the input; maybe in a day or so I'll give it another go. Just to clarify: you do have Comodo running successfully on W7? F/W & A/V.

Hi ted

Not yet will try it later - I am running avast AV and am at the point of trying the firewall so will post back and let people know

update

Bah Humbug - I get the same rollback error so will have to look for something else

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Howdy!...

Yes, I'm running Avast and Windows F/W at present. As I don't go places I shouldn't go; I'm not real concerned about a 3rd party F/W right now. I just wanted to get this sorted because I like CFP and would like to use it with W7.

Thank you Nigel and to all who offer input.

Hi Ted,

Update on status of Comodo Internet Security Firewall only install

It Works

what I did was set the compatability mode of the installer to Vista RTM and it installed.

It may be that the installer is the thing that has the problem with seven

 

[DBsantos77]

I did the same thing Barman, works flawless for me too!

You might take caution with Comodo Internet Security (Firewall). Take a look at the post below. It appears to run just fine, but uninstalling may be another story.

A word of warning re: Comodo Firewall. It is an internet connection buster when it uninstalls and it also BSOD'd on me twice in the process of uninstalling & it did not do it cleanly and I had to spend at least an hour cleaning up the registry...they don't appear to have a removal tool. So I had to rely on System Restore in the end.
I'm staying with Windows Firewall for now and keeping my fingers crossed that it and Avast will protect me.

Shawn while there might be bugs in the uninstaller there are ways to uninstall it
one would be to uninstall it in safe mode since it does not use the windows installer
there is post that actually shows how to successfully uninstall CPF if the uninstall stop, froze or BSOD. Here it is:

Give a try to Windows Advanced Firewall (Run->wf.msc). After dozens of buggy firewalls I decided to stick with the default one. At least it works as it should on multiple NICs, including wifi, and doesn't shut up all your connections after long-stand P2P sessions, hibernations and user switching, like Outpost Firewall, for instance

Thank you Darkassain. I'm sure that Comodo will get it worked out as Windows 7 is closer to being released though.

That's not very good, I doubt I'll uninstall though, I've been with Comodo for just about 2 years, good to know though thanks

Thank you Darkassain. I'm sure that Comodo will get it worked out as Windows 7 is closer to being released though.

yeah thanks shawn i had an experience like that and i remember i had made a script or command file because i didnt want to do it again and again....

and yeah like most software developers they wont win 7 supported apps until maybe the public beta...

Bare Foot Kid:
Does CIS 3.5.x support Windows 7 beta?

 

[darkcyber]

Well, I have tried all of the things listed and I can get it installed, but it will not work. I keep getting an error that something is not working and to run the diagnosis thing and I do that and then it says it cannot fix it. I installed it using the Vista compatibility and as administrator.

It shows on the bottom of the Comodo Firewall popup "The network firewall is not functioning properly" also.

I am using version 3.8.6463.468 of CIS.

Hi darkcyber and welcome to the forum!

Please read the article that Prtik posted.

I've been using CIS v3.5.57173.439 for several weeks now, though I must say, I didn't give the native Windows 7 firewall a test drive but will most likely remove CIS from my system this weekend

If you really want to use CIS, please understand the risks and follow the instructions properly.

Cheers

NosferatuX,

Thanks! I read his article a few days ago. I really like Comodo Firewall on all of my other pc's, XP & Vista and was just trying it out to see if I could get it to work. I have been using the Windows default firewall and will probably continue doing so for the short term, until something else emerges for 7.

Thanks for the welcome!

How to make it works!!

hello, i was looking for a solution (replace the windows Firewall) and i found comodo firewall pro but when i install the first time i had a Firewall Error..
how can u make Comodo Firewall Pro to work exellent in W7?
Easy, Download the latest installer, Right Click on the Setup exe file and Check "Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For:
Windows Vista, then check the box on Privilege Level:
Run this program as an Administrator.
The next step BEFORE install the CFP is to Disable "User Account Control" Change to "Never Notify" then Install the program and that's all.

Check "Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For:
Windows Vista, then...

Just started messing with 7 Bld 7057 and THIS is the single most useful post I've seen yet. Sooo useful with those ancient Vista programs, eh!

Thanks!
