A new leak test application from COMODO !

Perhaps with a warning in regard to explorer crashing and what exactly constitutes a passed test.

OMG.. You're right, thanks for pointing that out. But, I did say "Killer".

It appears that Test 1 and 3 use the default browser and Test 2 uses IE. Is that correct?

On my system it opened MSIE all 3 times. Firefox is my default browser. But, it was open at the time of the test.

Test 1: 1.alert, 2. DNS Alert, 3.alert.
Test 2: 1.alert, 2. DNS Alert, 3.alert.
Test 3: 1.alert, 2. DNS Alert, 3.alert.

After the test I had to restart due to cpil.exe still sitting in the memory:
I got those pops, when I was trying to use IE: 1.alert, 2. DNS Alert, 3.alert.

Note 1: Explorer.exe crashed during the Test 1 sometimes, I had to restart.
Note 2: I had "Component Control" and "Enable Alerts" disabled during the test.
Note 3: I use CPF with "ABA" and "CC" disabled, so I would not pass none of those.

Thanks for the result.

Hello. I have pccillin v7 installed with ie v6. as soon as I downloaded the test file my firewall had a fit. It closed the file access and refused to unzip it. I ran a virus scan on the file and found nothing but the program will "not" let me unzip it. I suppose this is a good thing but it also prevents me from actually running the tests. Any comments?

I'd say that whilst on face value that does appear to be a good thing.. I'm not sure that it is. It's very suspicious, in my mind, that PC-cillin refuses to open a ZIP file & will not say why.. it's almost like it is blocking CPIL on purpose & keeping quiet about it.

Is v7 "PC-cillin Internet Security 2007"?

Hi,

The test program tried to use Firefox, MS IE7, MSN messenger, but not opera 9.02. In all cases CPF popped up a box asking if I wanted to allow or deny. I also run Spyware Terminator with HIPS activated. ST also popped up an allow or deny box. 

In all cases I had a "cant find page message" when I denied access via CPF (having said allow in ST, afterall the aim was to test CPF!!).

Just wanted to add that in my case (Turion64, if that matters), for Test 3, DEP kills explorer before CPF can even react.

Got back to the (old) Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6
Passes em all 3
( The antique isnt so bad afterall - and preforming well )

Hi I just installed Comodo Firewall and tried the CPIL test with Comodo Firewall running and it failed all three tests. What do I do now?

Did you allow anything when CPF pop ups appeared? I suggest you reboot, try the test again and deny  access to whatever CPF asks about.

I tried your suggestion and still the same. See Screen shots.

First Screen shot is with IE6

Second Screen shot is with Opera.

Third Screen shot is with IE6

A puzzle. On two pc's I have tested the firewall on it passes all three tests. If there is nothing in your application rules that would cause CPF to allow the CPIL file access then I am at a loss.

I hope one of the moderators or other experienced forum members sees your post and I am sure they will come up with a solution for you. Sorry I can't think of anything else to suggest but I will continue thinking about it.

Hi,

If you had allowed it the first time, and selected it to be remembered, then after reboot CFP would allow it to connect anyway.
Check your application monitor and / or componant monitor to make sure there are no entries for 'cpil' and if there are, remove them before attempting the test.
