MSN Messenger Configuration

Hello Comodo Forum,

I recently installed msn messenger on my computer. In both firewall and defense settings I designated it as a trusted application and yet, I notice when I receive instant messages, Comodo seems to block transmissions connected with it. I do still receive the message but often times I experience delays in receiving messages or never receive them at all.

The same thing also happened with Skype which I just uninstalled since I thought it was causing a problem but now I’m suspect that it’s more likely my Comodo settings are done properly.

I searched older postings on how to properly configure Comodo to allow a free flow of instant messaging but all the posts I found were for v2 and at least 2yrs old.

Can someone tell me how to properly configure Comodo so that I am sure it will not interfere with using MSN Messenger? I’ve attached a screen shot of my firewall events log to give an example of what I’m experiencing.

Thanks,
Max

hi,

Make sure  you have added the MSN messenger. exe  and skype .exe in trusted application, because in  the log  its shows blocked , Also check in defense plus blocked  files , if msn and skype exe  are there ,   If its there remove it,  If  possible  send the screen shot of 

firewall → advanced -->network security polices–> application rules

Thanks for reply :-TU

  • Neither application were listed in the blocked files.
  • MSN Messenger in Network security policy was listed as “custom” so I changed it to Trusted Application. This is strange because I’m 90% sure I designated it from the start as a trusted app but perhaps I forgot to press apply… ???

Attached is the screenie you requested and MSN messenger is listed near the bottom.

hi,

Remove messenger .exe from network security policy, then oce again add messenger.exe in the trusted application

Try this

Firewall/Advanced/Attack Detection Settings/Miscellaneous/Uncheck “Block Fragmented IP datagrams”, may require a re-boot

Now check for the issue
