Comodo Firewall + Defense +.
Then, after having a problem with Comodo Firewall interfering with the update of Windows, I decided to download it again, and with the function of defence. I had Defense + scan my computer and he picked up 3 malicious software that captures not AVG, I found quite amazing. I deleted the files, because it was the only option he prompted me to. Anyone try Comodo Firewall and/or Defense +? I am pleased that Defense + caught the malware, I didn't even know I had it!

Solution: The videos Flash does not not - Win7 w/Comodo Firewall
On a new machine, I have added my desired desired programs. These include Comodo Firewall and Firefox with various plugins and addons (including Adobe Flash Player NoScript, FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus).
I soon discovered that the videos would not play (initially I could see some videos using HTML5, but after some adjustments, they were gone too). I tried MANY suggestions and settings are on various boards of Directors, nothing worked.
I should have learned long ago that I need to document all THE CHANGES, I have in my system - but old habits have life tough. I tried many things, with no written notes. I didn't know what problem prevented the Firefox to play videos. Nothing I've tried has worked. After unsuccessfully, I have reset Firefox (sad to see my custom settings go). When I restarted Firefox with only the plugin Flash Player active, I could not yet play videos.
More follow-up research. Finally, I came across the solution on the Comodo site:
http://forums.comodo.com/defense-sandbox-help-cis/defense-in-clean-pc-mode-is-blocking-flash-uploader-in-firefox-3612-t64628.0.html;msg459022#msg459022
There, I learned that Comodo Defense + had blocked the Container Plugin Firefox (and Crash Reporter) to run.
I used the following steps to resolve the problem on my system (w/Comodo Firewall 7.0.317799.4142):
1) Open Comodo Firewall (right-click the Comodo tray icon and select Open)
2) Select Tasks -> Sandbox Tasks -> Open Advanced Settings
3) In the "Advanced Settings" Window, select Defense+ -> HIPS -> Hips Rules
4) Find the entry for Firefox.exe. Right-Click it and Select Edit.
5) In the Comodo HIPS Rule for Firefox.exe window, select the "Access Rights" tab. Locate the "Run an executable" option. Click the modify link under the "Exclusions" column.
6) In the "Run an Executable" window, select the "Blocked Files/Folder" tab. Select the plugincontainer.exe entry and right-click -> remove to delete it. Do the same for the crashreporter.exe entry.
7) Click "OK" on each of the Comodo Firewall widows to save the changes and close the window.
After doing this, videos might play. My next task will be to reinstall my favorite extensions and see if I can get Firefox works as I liked it on my old PC.
I hope this help anyone with a similar setup.
Thank you.

Portege R830 - Windows does not start after I have install Comodo Firewall
Good afternoon
I bought today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration, the first program that I installed was the popular free Comodo Firewall. After that I restarted, Windows 7 unbootable. It would be stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I do a system restore to the restore point created by Setup of firewall, windows restarts.
So I ask if there is any inconsistency between the firewall and software on the Toshiba. A that someone already had this problem? I tried to solve this problem throughout the day with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba Recovery and the problem persists. I really like the Comodo and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows does not just start!
Any help would be apreciated.
Hi jillefsky,.
Have you disabled the Windows Firewall before you start with the installation of Comodo Firewall? As far as I know, Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you must remove this program before you install other security tools.
Generally this has nothing to do with Toshiba and it s advisable to contact Comodo directly. They may know about this so they can give you a proper answer.
But I put t understand why this program is so important to you. Windows already has an internal firewall so that these programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus like AntiVir and enable the automatic updates of Windows. All that s!

Comodo Firewall or ZoneAlarm free firewall free?
I heard good things about Comodo free Firewall compared to the 1 that comes with Windows 7. Even though they say that Windows 7 firewall is excellent against the inbound threat prevention is not as good as outgoing Comodo as well. Right now I use ZoneAlarm Free Firewall & he did a decent job. However, I'm starting to wonder is better Comodo? The only bad thing I have heard talk of ZoneAlarm is that they are slightly trimmed with ask.com now & their auto-mises to day produce weeks or even several months after the actual release of a new version. I need the best firewall free as possible for both outgoing & incoming, Comodo better then ZoneAlarm?
You can configure the built-in firewall for incoming and outgoing settings without problem. Simply go into the advanced settings.
If you are insistent on going with a 3rd party, my suggestion would be to Comodo. Zone Alarm had problems earlier in 7 life, know if they are all healed...
But really, learn 7 is under construction. Its nothing like the XP / Vista firewall as it was.

Comodo Firewall installation mode

A few weeks ago, I installed Comodo Firewall and uninstalled quickly. Now, I find that it has diverted the navigation program (not the field of research but the side navigation) default search bars. I have reset 21.0 FF that it did not yet use the Comodo research. I found one ran the search default reset program also, it did not work. What else can I try?
If you have used the reset Firefox feature, then the Firefox search parameters are at their default values, unless there is a malicious program, intervene on the settings as soon as born new Firefox profiles.
1. check your DNS for IPv4 and IPv6 settings. If they are set to anything other than automatic, compare the values with Comodo SecureDNS.
Do not change these settings without writing first down the original values; your ISP may require the particular addresses to clarify, rather than using the automatic setting.- http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-TCP-IP-settings
- http://www.Comodo.com/secure-DNS/switch/
2. If you have a router, check the settings as well. Refer to the manual of your router for more details.
3. If the problem persists, post on the Comodo forums for help.

Hello
I don't see anything malicious here, so there is nothing to worry about. Firefox uses keyboard shortcuts and for various reasons, i.e. web content accessibility features select (copy and paste), zoom in or out, navigate the Web etc. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-features-firefox-make-firefox-and-we site

Following update Firefox 36, my firewall was flooding asking me to allow external connections from the Internet to my browser. Looking at it more closely, Comodo Firewall indicates that external websites are trying to connect to Firefox, port 53 to an arbitrary port on my machine.
If I disable the option FF36 new network.dns.get - ttl, it stops. I can't find any documentation or help on this option.
Why Firefox do this? Is Comodo incorrect when he labels it as an external connection attempt? (It has normally been extremely good to differentiate the incoming and outgoing traffic). I guess that Firefox is trying to determine the TTL for DNS caching, but it is not make sense why DNS servers then try to connect to me.
I am reluctant to create a firewall rule to that arbitrary Internet connections on my machine are OK as long as their origin on port 53, tips on how to manage all that this new feature is firmly States would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi grammarye,
Yes, you're right in thinking that Firefox is trying to find the TTL value. This is new in Firefox 36 behavior and was presented as services frequently changing DNS records (such as Cloudflare) were not working properly for Firefox users.
Firefox makes asynchronous DNS searches - which means it will make a DNS query and then proceed to perform another task instead of waiting for an answer.
Your ISP DNS server puts in cache only TTL an area for a short time, so if it does not the current LIFE expectancy, he will interview with other DNS servers to find.
IANAE, but probably what is happening is:
- Firefox tries to find the DNS record for the domain that you want to connect to
- Your ISP DNS server does not have the current LIFE expectancy, then connects with other DNS servers to find
- During this time, Firefox lingers with something else
- DNS server, then reconnects to give you full DNS, including the TTL check
- Comodo sees the packets of the DNS server and panic
I completely agree that arbitrary ports of white list is a bad idea, but in this case, the behavior is completely harmless.
You can want to whitelist Firefox in your Comodo Firewall, or continue to let network.dns.get - disabled ttl.
(edited to fix broken links and add a sentence)

I tried the solutions such as resetting and reinstalling or Firefox running with disabled modules, but they did not work. everything worked fine with my current setup but now style sheets are not loaded (only the text and a bunch of links on the left side) for some of the pages of Mozilla (including AMO). I open the site by using all the default settings (basic page style/default fonts, etc.) and update of plugins. I don't even see the green background for https in the address bar for the Add-ons site. I have also in the white list Firefox in my Comodo Firewall. Sites load perfectly in chrome.
Anyone know how to handle this problem?
