cfp.exe Question

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Firewall Help - CIS
#1

I recently had problems updating the CIS A/V signatures after the most current program update.
I uninstalled and re-installed the program and have been successful updating the A/V signatures.

In the Active Connections box, with a TCP OUT Protocol, cfp.exe is connected with the source being my computer and the destination being 72.9.241.58:443. My hardware firewall log shows this IP being blocked in both directions. I do not remember seeing this happening in the past on either of the two computers I run CIS on.

Can you please describe what cfp.exe is doing and do I need to create a hardware firewall rule to allow these connections to take place.

Thanks for any help…

The IP address is of Comodo. I looked it up with Whois - IP Address - Domain Name Lookup . Since it was called by cfp.exe that must have been the program updater.

The AV updates get done by cmdagent.exe at port 80. So I think the AV updater hiccup you noticed is unrelated to the activity the hardware firewall logged and blocked.
