i couldn't even using Start -> Run to run any program, no permission it said. blocked all my auto start programs, the only thing running is explorer. said file path is not accessible or path does not exist
said i do not have permission to shutdown the computer At times it simply decided on its own what i should do. Well, in some strange way it is better because it managed not to crash my computer completely so i don't have to reinstall everything. that was 6 months ago, i thought the final version would be better, how wrong was I!!! I tried the 3.0 beta program which caused my computer a total crash and had to reinstall the os. Otherwise it's simply a false sense of security. It can get the job done, but it needs constant, and I mean CONSTANT tinkering and TLC in order to get what you want out of it due to its poor design. Ive been using Comodo for a few years now, and I've had high respect for them up until release 3.0. That it would just allow some programs (quite a few seem to get this privelage with comodo) free, unrestricted access to the internet, without any confirmation whatsoever, is just completely asinine for a program which tries to "protect" you from malware by force feeding you a million confirmation pop-ups a minute over the most frivolous things. The firewall may be ok for preventing attacks, however, I cannot recommend this for someone wanting to protect from identity theft (keyloggers, etc.) or other unauthorized broadcasting by trojans which may have slipped past your Anti-virus. After having 1 million confirmation windows shoved in my face every minute by this firewall, I find this internet favoritism to be quite a irritating. Oh sure, a big program like Mozilla Thunderbird brings up the usual "connect to the internet" confirmations, but various programs I DL'd off of Bit Torrent, the cultivator of computer plagues, gets free access without so much as a blip on the radar. The WORST part about this firewall - is that some programs inexplicably get free unrestricted access to the internet without so much as a confirmation. I'll explain more on why this seemingly heightened security is bad in a sec. This in itself can become pretty tedious and annoying in a very short time. It gives a false sense of security - this firewall brings up a warning for just about every frivolous event that occurs on your computer. It gets high ratings in tests, but I wonder how much real-world protection people really get from this. The UI is a total mess compared to the previous version which I actually liked). You can only sort by path, and even that doesnt work right. The UI has become a cumbersome nightmare (for example, unable to sort program rulesets by program. Comodo Firewall has really turned to horse #*$% in this latest release (3.0).
