My pc and os is fresh and running very fast . I installed today Comodo firewall
also if I had a Sunbelt Kerio license. I want to test it .
I like it , also if I don’t understand how it monitor application.
I have nod32 , thunderbird email installed .
Comodo is running on custom mode , Application monitor is On , and
Component monitor is on learning mode.
When I opened Internet explorer I received a window warning
aksing me to allow or disallow IE . I allowed it.
When I checked email with Thunderbird Comodo asked/prompted me absolutely
NOTHING . Then when I updated NOD32 Comodo asked/prompted me absolutely
NOTHING .
And on the Application/Component window I cannot see
Thunderbird or Nod32 while I can see only IE .
Why Comodo didn’t advice me about thunderbird and nod32
connecting to internet and didn’t place them on
Application/Component list ?
Hi and welcome. While there seems to be a bit of confusion here, I will answer best I can. First you say Thunderbird doesn’t alert CPF, then you say Thunderbird is safe when you execute it? So we have a slight contradiction here, no offense. IE being unknown means another application is using it to access the internet and is using IE as parent. NOD 32, if you were to uninstall it, then reinstall it , it may be detected unless it’s not accessing the internet yet. Maybe for an update it may kick off CPF on an alert. Any anti-virus I had never kicked off my firewall alert unless for an update.
I hope this helps some, but could you please touch base on if Thunderbird is or isn’t getting a pop up?
No no no, I don’t mean to uninstall Nod32 completely. I mean, and for whatever reason, with many firewalls, it depends on what ORDER you install SOME security softwares in order to be detected by a firewall. I used Kerio and ZA for years and have had to do that many times. Actually CPF is the only one I haven’t had to do that with. I now know what you are saying, but NOD and Thunderbird may be on CPF “safelist” or\and you don’t have your alert settings high enough to bother you with trusted apps.
Do you see what I mean? If not, post back.
You need to disable : Security->Advanced->Miscellaneous->Do not show alerts for the application certified by COMODO option if you want to see alerts for known applications.
I just installed Spyware Terminator and enabled automatic updates. When it updated itself, CPF said NOTHING. Application Control is ON and Spyware Terminator is not on the list! Why no pop-up?
a very knowledgeable member has tried to help you. Did you try the suggestion above? I can tell you unequivocally that Comodo does warn on NOD32 - if you have the firewall’s parameters set up correctly.
Would it be possible when “Do not show alerts for the application certified by Comodo” option is on, that if CPF allows an application, that a rule is created for it in the application monitor so people would know that a program was allowed and have a flag next to it showing it was marked as a safe application.
I confess I didn’t read - or heed - that suggestion either! Having now disabled the option, I indeed get a pop-up. Thank you! Is there a Comodo safelist?
