Q: Do we need to export our settings or will they be saved? A: Everything will be left untouched after the update.
Some of developers should say exactly what is updated, please. I have ton of custom rules which I don’t wanna lose (and vice-versa) if I import previous rules in new build
Edit:
Am I going to lose default updated improvements if I import rules from previous version?
The update works flawlessly and keeps your old rules, merging with whatever the new protection is-haven’t tried to figure it out yet. This is one where I would go ahead and do the update, rather than doing a settings replacement with your old rules.
Could we please have a definitive answer,yes or no,
Can this update be installed on top of our existing version or do we have to uninstall and reinstall the new version.
This information should be published with the release notes
Thankyou
I had some problem with the integrated update. The update itself went fine, and CFP seemed to be working fine as well, but the GUI was giving me issues. When I tried to open some items like the firewall event log, it would take a minute or more to open, and during that time my laptop was basically frozen.
I did a complete uninstall/reinstall and everything is working fine now.
I still wonder though, when Comodo says -
IMPROVED! The default configuration has been updated to protect more resources
do these additions really get added in to your existing config during the update? I mean, without knowing what exactly was added, it's impossible to find out for sure. This is maybe the only complaint I still have about Comodo's release notes and update process.
Well, the default log window only lists events for today, so a few hundred events shouldn’t take that long. And it shouldn’t ever freeze the whole laptop. I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few days though.
