I upgraded from 3.0.12.266 to 3.0.14.276 using the patch. About tells me I have got the 3.0.14.276 version but Add/Remove tells me I still have the 3.0.12.266 version. Which is right and should I be worried? How can I tell I have the right version? I tried reinstalling afresh but the machine wouldn’t boot so I went back to a restore point - I don’t want to try that again.
No issues with 3.0.14.276 apart from increased start up time compared to 3.0.12.266 (should be quicker?) and a slower GUI.
A number of people have had problems using the patch to upgrade. I suggest you download the full 3.0.14.276 version and install that. Before you do, however, you need to make sure all traces of the previous version have been removed. this includes files and folders on your hard disk and entries in your registry.
No guide for V3 as yet, however, remove the old version with Add/Remove programs. Then check the following locations:
C:\Program Files\Comodo\Firewall
C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro
C:\Documents and settings\Your name\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro
The registry settings can be found under:
HKLM\System\Software\Comodo\Firewall Pro
Just check those locations and make sure they are free of data
Well, I cleaned out 276 as instructed and still had the same problem as before. My machine wouldn’t boot, just gets stuck on the loading screen, hard close required, restore etc. So (very reluctantly) I’m giving up and going over to OAS.
