A. When I made changes to firewall from this page: “Firewall Setup For Maximum Security And Usability, Firewall Set Up, Spyware Scan”, except for the stealth port change, after I saved changes, there were several web sites I could no longer connect to. (Varies from issue to issue)
If you can, exact steps to reproduce. If not, exactly what you did & what happened:
I was able to repeat this a few times and whatever configuration I made the changes to would no longer work. I had to import a new config from Comodo folder.

C. ATTACH REQUIRED FILES (delete this section (section C) after attaching required files)
Always attach the diagnostics file (instructions on how to do this provided here) and the KillSwitch Process List (instructions on how to do that provided here) and put the resulting file in a zip file. Both should then be attached to your post.
