Comodo Leak Test: What's your score?

[zteardrop]

Does anyone thinking that these Comodo Leak Tests coming from a firewall company is a little self-serving. :sarc:

I wonder if Comodo Firewall fails any of the tests

The Leak Tests are used to fine tune the Firewall settings to insure the greatest level of protection. Every instance of the Comodo Firewall passing the Leak Tests with a 100% perfect score is not a given. Some Comodo Firewall users initially have trouble passing all of the Leak Tests, but by sharing which specific exploits in the Leak Tests their set up is vulnerable to advise can be given as to what settings will improve their protection to 100%.

The Comodo Leak Tests are not a contest, but rather a set of tools that can be used to diagnose the vulnerability level of different software Firewalls including the Windows 7 Firewall...

I've been hitting all kinds of firewalls (including the Win7 firewall) with Comodo LeakTest suite and the scores make for some interesting results. Here's the Win7 firewall in its default state on a "home" network.

I scored 140/340 that means there are 200 vulnerabilities.

 

[Maxxwire]

Francis93- Actually its not quite that bad. A 140/340 score on the Leak Tests would mean that your Firewall passed 14 of 34 tests giving it a 41% pass rate with 20 vulnerabities. Which Firewall are you using?

I'm using Comodo and only scored 210. Not good enough. I'm gonna have to try to fix that

 

[Nem]

With ease you could Re-install it, it usually fixes that. though i was scoring 120 as well untill i changed some things. Now i get 340/340

Excellent use of the Leak Test results to improve your Firewall's protection!

Some people seem to think that Comodo developed these Leak Tests to show that the Comodo Firewall always passes them when in fact they are diagnostic tools to help show where any Firewall is lacking in protection so that it can be brought up to full protection.

Do you have the latest Comodo release of v5.0.32580.1142 in the x32 or x64 version that your computer requires? If so uninstall the currently installed version and do a clean install of the latest version, choose Proactive Defense+ with maximum protection during the install and then follow these Comodo Firewall, Defense+ HIPS and Sandbox settings guidelines in order to maximize your State of the Art Comodo 2011 protection. Here is a link to some Detailed Installation Instructions

Please let us know how things go. These settings should yield a perfect 340/340 Leak Test evaluation on your Win 7 computer as they do on mine and many other Comodo users win 7 computers, but if now we can keep trying until full protection against all 34 exploits is achieved.

[Borg 386]

I got a 340/340.

I'm running Comodo Firewall and Norton 360 Firewall

 

[Fayla]

I got 210 and I am running the standard windows firewall.

The thing demanded that I ran it under the admin account, -- that's probably why I got a lesser score (my main account is a standard user.)

 

[Subsonic]

I set everything up as shown below. I get a score of 190/340! My standard Windows7 firewall gives me 200/340. I must not be reading something right!

you get less points when testing on an ADMIN-account.
but, you don´t have to use an ADMIN-account, you can run CLT on your "normal" USER-account.

unless Comodo has released a new changed version of CLT recently....

 

[Maxxwire]

Borg 386- Norton 360 is not a Firewall, but rather adds an additional layer of protection to detect viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other threats commonly called an Antivirus program.

Its great that you got a 340/340 perfect score on the Comodo Firewall Leak Tests, but you could save yourself $80/year for Norton's fee and simply install the Comodo 2011 Suite although I am currently just using the ultralight 5.2 MB RAM load Comodo Firewall with Defense+ HIPS which has Automatic Sandboxing and access to Cloud Malware scanning as well as a Cloud Behavior Blocker using the Comodo Servers so if you have Comodo Defense+ HIPS installed you won't even need the expensive yet much poorer performing partial suite of Norton software.

That's good advise and as far as I know Comodo has not released a new version of CLT so your advise stands. BTW nice computer security set up listed in your signature gotta love the saftey and security of virtualization software!

Maxx, Norton 360 is not a partial suite.
It includes an excellent automatic firewall which can be configured to be as noisy as Comodo firewall.

[Francis93]

Comodo's Cloud Scanner detected CLT as malware.

 

[LiquidSnak]

Comodo immediately detected it as a threat

As it should, since it is a leak tester it technically is malicious software.

I run MSE and comodo firewall, a match made in heaven for a perfect score.

I checked out your link and did not see Firewall mentioned anywhere on the page. Do you have another link showing that Norton 360 has a Firewall?

As far as the Comodo Firewall being noisy that is a thing of the past as the developers have made Comodo 2011 very quiet and still just as effective as ever.

Now that's the ticket! The best of both worlds...
