Well done, Comodo team

Note: Q2 and Q4 are duplicates

[SithTracy]

Man, this thing must be popular... I was getting the update automatically and it died... 

Oh well, do hope it fixes a few of the quirky issues I had.  As it is now, Comodo is the best available... and I am a sKPF and ZoneAlarm convert!!!!

Great to see a product so well maintained... and FREE?!!!?  Even better!!!

[Soyabeaner]

I think the issue with ICMP = Unreachable Type 3 with no code is still present.

The disabled log setting not working is still on my system, although it has improved a bit in this version

Great work! Comodo.

Thanks!

I've installed 2.4, and it's working great! Thank you Comodo for all the hard work you've put in this product... 

BTW, I like those little arrows...

[SithTracy]

   Got it installed and the quirky issues I had with iTunes and Winamp appear to be gone.  Thanks COMODO.  Off to spread the word!

As for the GUI, i think it would be good to hide Language, Updater, Help and About in one button, like Options or something. It's getting clogged.

And the arrows, well i don't like them, but it's Comodo, so i have an option of course!

Overall it seems perfected. The Activity window shows better info. Some things apparently remain to be finished, but i'll wait patiently for the next release. Congratulations Comodo!  The close button is missing. I know next version it will resurface, thx.

One question: Are the logs stored now? Some users think this is a must, so i'm wandering.

I updated at 12:40PM smooth as silk! As a convert from another popular firewall, I am really impressed how simple the update was to do.  Apparently shortly after I finished, the Comodo servers were swamped by folks wanting to do their upgrade. That says something about the popularity of this firewall.

Some users prefer to see less of options/features that are uncommonly used.

My log is stored at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Comodo\Personal Firewall\Logs

Yes, they will not be used often, except for the updater. Thanks for the logs path.

Yeah it finally here.    What happen to the Beta section? No Beta's for a while?

Oops its there just not listed as a child board on the forum main page.

[Bader40]

It took me an age to download the new version, kept getting error messages ( it kept getting stuck at around the 5% completed mark) but perseverence finally paid off. i, for one, love the little arrow animation

Why is called the 'Flora" version by the way?

[KPK4444]

Yeah the arrow animation rocks!!

[Bader40]

Yeah the arrow animation rocks!!

See, after all that hard work, it's the little things that impresses us the most whoever thought of including the 'little arrows' should be given a big cigar and sent home early with a hefty bonus
