no firewall icon in cis 5.x tray [Resolved]

fauxpas · July 19, 2011, 1:01pm

I have only the summary, antivirus, defense+ and more icons.
Neither is the firewall in the Windows XP Home SP3 system tray.
Neither is it running.
Neither can I start the firewall manually.
This cis 5.x was downloaded and installed yesterday.

Hi Fauxpas. Depending on which installer you used it sounds as though the Firewall didn’t install.
Go to Control panel, add/remove programs click change for CIS and make certain both Firewall and Antivirus are ticked (See screenshot) if not tick both and then next. Kind regards.

Windows XP does an annoyingly bad job when it comes to showing and not showing icons in the systray area. Please see http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_013.html for more information.

That issue also somethimes happens with Vista. It is a MS issue, not Comodo.

Hi guys. I think OP was talking about within the GUI.
