First of all , this is my first post and I had COMODO firewall version 2.4.18.184 (spanish) installed and I found it and excellent I when I say excellent it's because I think that's it's superior to others firewalls, I like it's stadistics connections because I can watch the in -out traffic and these feauture I don't see it in other firewalls and finally because it's does a well job.

But my request as the title says I would like that the version 3.x.y, etc etc etc.... has an
Ad Blocker incorporated into the firewall, the only thing that the firewall lacks...

Thanks in advance


Win XP SP2 very well updated
COMODO 2.4.18.184 (spanish)
Avast 4.7.1074

It would be nice to have Superadblocker as a choice in the firewall...hint hint  Melih are you reading this

No, no, I really think this is a crappy idea (scuse me).
Blocking ads is on the browser's side, not on the FW's side.

No overlapping needed. Use a fine browser, and keep Comodo FW lean.

As it is now.

No destruction of mythos, here, please

I too think this would be a bad idea. Comodo making an adblocker? That would need updates again and I think Comodo has enough to deal with already (CAVS, BOClean, Safelist, etc.)...

I also have to agree with MorphOS REBOL and adchia  This is the job for a browser and comodo is very busy with their Anti Virus and Firewall.

Ok, I agree to not to have the ad blocking in the firewall directly in, but Comodo did mention plugins that could have it. But my main point is about having a ad blocker in general, and it would suck to have Comodo make a pop up/ad blocker from scratch, that's why I'm saying Superadblocker is a good company...again with the hints!

I haven't seen that anywhere in this forum.  The plugins idea started out with members and Pandlouk (a moderator, who is a volunteer member): http://forums.comodo.com/feedbackcommentsannouncementsnews/which_plugins_would_you_like-t6216.0.html

Anyway, Comodo is aware of the idea, but never did give an OK to it.  These things might be considered in the far future.

Ok, thanks for correcting me.

adblocking is just simply knowing the ips of advertisers and providing this to end users in a tool.

so do anyone know a good and fresh supply of all these IPs/domains for advertisers.. cos we can simply feed this to CPF to help against adverts..

I think I've heard about this from other users, let's hope they jump in this discussion.

Anyway if you're going to build a mere IP black list (which seems to me a much better idea than a full-blown program), don't forget the spammers, phishers etc. Maybe these were who you were thinking about but, what I mean is that: a) be sure to blacklist spammers' IPs; and b) don't put legitimate advertisers in the same basket. You could give the option to block them as well, although that would be controversial and attract the advertisers' hostility. (And it's never been responsible from some security programs [not Comodo's] to criminalize advertising and legit adware and to make people think that cookies are malware and so.)

I'm not techy enough to know whether this would help against spam email, or if on the contrary the remote IP in that case is the mail server's and not the sender's... It wold be so swell that spam email could be blocked before entering just by blocking IPs, but I don't know if that's possible at all (anyone?).

I do agree with you Japo..

Thnx, even though I respect people who think ads are wicked per se, I just don't agree, and don't think any punishment must be forced on advertisers unless they actually do something specifically wrong. I haven't even configured my browser to block ads myself (only I block flash by default which if unsolicited can be really annoying and hoard bandwidth and even include unsolicited sounds )

I have read all the replies, and well it may be a good, or bad idea, depending the side you look the issue, but I would be a good idea to add an ad-blocker , maybe as a separated product.
take in mind that the browsers generally the only thing about ads it's to block pop up ads, I mean a ad blocker that simple do the job to recognize an ad and block it, remember that ads take an amount of quantity of bandwith 

Thanks in advance

Well, I read all your posts, so, I would ask a big favor, anyone can recommend me a free ad-blocker??? some product that blocks not only pop ups ad but also ads from the pages in itself???

Thanks in advance

That question is better suited in the General board.  There are a few recommendations already in this forum, such as http://forums.comodo.com/general_discussion_off_topic_anything_and_everything/how_to_customize_the_opera_browser-t12813.0.html;msg90117#msg90117
