I’ve been using Comodo firewall 4.1.150349.920 on my XP Pro SP3 system
and like it, BUT it sometimes asks up to 6 times to let the same program
run, which gets annoying, then I say treat it as an installer.
Today, I got the notice that 5.0 is available, so I imaged my system
and installed 5.0. Immediately I noticed a slowdown in my system. My
backup system uses a lot of batch files that interact with vbs scripts.
The first script file called runs in less than a second under 4.1.
Under 5.0 it took up to 8 seconds before the prompt window appeared.
I tried several changes to Comodo 5, but none helped.
So, I restored my system to 4.1 and the script is now back to running in
a second or less.
Needless to say, I won’t be upgrading to 5.0.
