Hi all you Comodo Commandos!
First, THANKS MELIH!! Obviously I’ve re-entered the Comodo fold of safe and secure computer use. Got here the hard way. Had Comodo Firewall back around '08 or '09, in the days of Version 3. Also had all kinds of other stuff loaded on a tired, underpowered machine [Pentium II 300?] including AVG, Malwarebytes, Spybot Search & Destroy, Super-Antispyware, SpywareBlaster, Spywareguard, HP Printer program etc. The poor old thing strained and labored along. Everything was okay at first after Comodo install but then it started slowing down, then glitching with other programs added.
I knew very little about computers, don’t know a whole lot more now?!? No understanding that the poor Processor was simply being beaten to death and minimal Memory was being thrashed into a bad case of Alzheimer’s. I thought it was the Comodo Firewall because it wouldn’t fully recognize AVG and reported AVG Security Certificate Invalid or somesuch. I posted to this forum. After some responses, in frustration and ignorance, I wasn’t very polite at all and was insulting.
So secondly: a long overdue APOLOGY here! I was WRONG in accusing Comodo as the cause of my problems and I’m very sorry for doing so. You were kind and patient with me. I was mean and nasty. NOT Comodo at fault, it was a lamebrain who didn’t know what the heck he was doing, who was hammering an outdated, underpowered computer into an early grave. Yep, it eventually went belly up with much moaning and groaning, poor thing…
I always had a high regard for Comodo products and the company and that reputation continued to be excellent. I’ve used many other Security products since then, having all sorts of weird problems of one kind or another with all of them. Latest was Avira Suite, gave many serious problems but couldn’t get any email or Tech Support even though I purchased the full program. Uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstall, no go. Over a month later I finally got a refund requested 2 days after purchase. In honesty though I had no idea that at the time of requesting Refund there was a huge non-religious National Holiday season in their country and for the most part, nobody was home so they’re partly forgiven for that.
Next and last fiasco was Avast Pro Suite, more serious problems. Locked out of email, locked out of interent access, system freeze, dead in the water. Program couldn’t even connect to its own servers. Once again, no support and minimal feedback on forums. In short, “It’s not Avast, it’s your computer”. I uninstalled, reinstalled, repeat, same problems. Noticed many other people were having very similar and very serious problems at the same time, even on different operating systems, following one particular update.
Finally in a moment of clarity and sanity at 3:00 AM in the morning with forehead bleeding from beating it against the wall I said, “Hey, wait a minute here! You know you want the best, and you know that’s Comodo! I wonder if Comodo will run now on this newer machine with fatter processor and loads more memory???”
The answer? YES!!! YES-YES-YES!! And it’s fabulous so far, only day two or three, but I’m very confident. Faster everything. No annoying popups and voice messages every 2 hours saying ‘Your Security has Updated…’ - no more stalls - no more glitches - much quicker email access - 20%-30%+ faster internet performance - better overall performance! Great! Happy, happy, happy!!
THANKS to Melih and everyone involved in making the single best Security product available in the entire world today!! I know you’ve worked unceasingly in every way to develop it into a truly superior product, the best! Thanks also for the support forum and to all of you who give your time to help others.
