thanks KDNeese!
spybot was blocking the activation.  I disabled browser helper for internet explorer under the immunize tab, and it went right through.

Hello!

I have the same problem. ...wanted to change from another freeware to Comodo. The other firewall is inactive. I use just Firefox - and have deinstalled IE (still seams to be there - without it, I could not ubdate XP). Only Sophos Anti Virus is active.

Any hints?

Hi,

The activation cycle relies on features of Internet Explorer at this time.

So, to activate it you will need to install IE again.
Activate the product, then remove IE again.

Yes, so I had the error until I stumbled across KDNesse's reply.. Hosts eh?.. So after I did a little googling on host files on IE,
I went and did this:
First, press start. Run. Put this into the little box thing.

For Windows XP:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
For Windows 2K:C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

and open the "HOSTS" file in Notepad. Find (ctrl+f) "Comodo"
And then find something like:

[Restricted Zone site][Comodo]     (not exactly what it said.. But something like that)

And delete everything under that section.. so its like

[Restricted Zone site][Comodo]   
secure.comodo.net
blah
blah
blah
   
 (I deleted everything in that section.. But it might work if you just delete "secure.comodo.net")
*Note: Again, thats not exactly how its going to look like.*

After deleting it. Save the file. Exit notepad. And try to activate CPF again.

Thats how I got the activation to work for me.. =D
Hope it helps.

Hi,

The hosts issue has been in our knowledgebase for some time.
https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=444

If anyone has activation issues, please consult that article first.

Hi All, Thought I'd add my 2 pence worth I had a problem with my laptop running windows 2k and SP4, I installed commodo firewall on my pc running xp and sp2 with no issues, but the laptop kept on coming up with the above error. Originally it was my primary method to connect to the internet via dialup, and I've used Mozilla for a long time, I could connect with no problems to my wireless router and browse the net but could not activate commodo on the laptop. Anyhow getting internet explorer to recognise it could connect to the lan to access the internet solved the registration problem.
