This software is offensive

[damon888]

I am a very experienced computer user. I was a technology planner for a major state agency and purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware and software annually. I currently have my own business with six networked PCs. I have been testing Comodo firewall and my conclusion is that it is useless. It is way too hard to configure, the documentation doesn't make any sense, and it is very intrusive. I am not able to access the internet or exchange files on the computers it is installed on unless I turn it off. The "Help File" is useless. It tells me to define a Network Zone so I can then define Stealth something or other so I can define Rules. Excuse me, but I want to use my computers to accomplish actual work. I don't want to have to read poorly written documentation to figure out how to make something work. I don't care how good this software is supposed to be. If it is too hard to use, it is worthless. What seems obvious to you people is not obvious to the average user or even the skilled user. You must look at your software from the point of view of real people.
I am not even interested in investing any more time in this crapware. Life is too short and there are too many options. Get a grip.

errr so basically you mean you have problem "creating rules set" for your PCs right?
maybe you can try making similar rules to mine (rule #4)?

Firewall/advanced/network security policy/global rules


p.s. cool desktop theme huh

G'day,

I note that this is your first posting on these forums.

It's unfortunate you have decided to give up on Comodo as your Firewall, as there are literally hundreds of willing helpers here that could have stepped you through the process (and it's only about 5 steps if you do it manually, for a simple setup).

I would also have liked to discuss what you found difficult about the help file, as well. I, along with almost everyone else I know, find it to be quite well organised and with sufficient information to work out most issues.

I hope you find a firewall that suits your needs and provides an adequate level of security for your business.

See ya

I never understand why people post things like this when they haven't even posted anything thing before asking for help.

They want it to work with no effort straight out of the box like some do, and are upset when it does not.

Despite damon888 being very experienced and a technology planner, you find CFP worthless. That doesn't make sense to me as numerous of newbies - sometimes without much of knowledge - comes to this forum for a little help. They get help from great users here, and voila, their CFP runs fine and they learn how to maintain it / answer popups (which get fewer and fewer as Comodo works hard to simplify CFP).

Obviously one of the reasons malware flourishes is because of real people. (If we don't take zombies in account )

Anyway there are other good firewalls out there so anyone can get the one which suits his needs.

How much of an computer expert can you be to not even be able to get a simple firewall like CPF to work for you? I don't understand this hideous attack to one of the worlds leading security software packages witch is completely free. I don't know of any good firewall that doesn't need manual settings to do half the job as good as CPF does by itself. In fact i think; reading your one and only post we have to do with a novice computer user instead of a professional. Your hallering sure does not imply we have to do with someone that knows anything about computers and security. I sure hope next time you first ask how to do some settings on the forum before you start nagging about something you don't know anything about. Enough people here to gladly help you setting up your firewall, no hard feelings.

Enjoy your stay here and next time just ask.

My deepest respect to Comodo.

Ignore the troll, he's just a noob .
(That's a person who refuses to RTFM because he thinks learning is for losers)

[Vettetech]

OMG.................so true Gordon. 100 to 1 he will never be back to comment. People post things like this and never come back. They think they are to good to ask for help when all of us here help everyone who asks for it. Modders close this.

[LeoniAquila]

Let's give damon888 a chance to reply, then it'll probably be suitable to close this thread. As long as no specific CFP problems - which we can help damon888 with - are brought up, the thread is not constructive in any way.

Yep, Wait for a reply.

damon888... We are willing to help you accordingly.

3xist and LeoniAquila, I agree with your reply's to this person starting this topic. I been with Comodo a little while every since V2.3.  Comodo as we know is a commercial company, it vialbility rest upon it ability to sell its products.  And with responces like yours, may influence this person to take a look at Comodo's commercial products and who knows maybe taking a second look at comodo firewall.

This looks like the real world, the guy's that get to buy stuff never have to make it work
