The comodo leaktest fails with comodo? [Resolved]

I downloaded the leaktest (Cpil.exe) ran it and wrote something.
It opens a webpage with this message:

Your firewall didn't pass the test and transmitted information to our website. You typed: esting|http://comodo/|http://firewall/|http://leaktest/

This time it was useless information - next time it could be your credit card number or other sensitive data being passed to a hacker.

Comodo Personal Firewall 2.0 is the only firewall to pass the Parent Injection Leak test with its default settings.

Actually I typed “testing Comodo firewall leaktest”. But I did not get any warning from Comodo Firewall!?

Am I supposed to do any rules for this leaktest?
I am using the latest beta, but the result was the sam on the official build.

I posted the same thing today, apparently the reasons for the “failure” are already known; well, I won’t speak too much, just read about it here.

For the beta you have to put “Component monitor” at “turn on” instead of “learning” mode to catch this specific leaktest. (:WIN)

Thank you both for your replies. I did the registry thing that was suggested in the post Bullhorn was refering to and it did the trick. Now Comodo Firewall gives me an alert :slight_smile:
I did this before I had the chance to read your reply pandlouk. Yours was a bit easier sollution though :slight_smile: I will put it on “turn on” I guess I dont need learning mode anymore anyway.

Cheers

Glad to see you solved it. ;D

And sorry, because I forgot to welcome you at the comodo family (:WAV)

Btw, pandlouk, while we’re at it, could point me into the general direction of a thread that will explain me the difference between “turn on” to “learning mode”?

Sure. Take a look at:

Glad to be helpfull.

ps. I just realised that you are getting at the 100th post really fast (only 2 days). Maybe you should change your nickname in Flash (:TNG)

Heh, I’m just trying to learn as much as I can about Comodo, I became a fan so quickly.

Half my posts were in one troubleshooting thread that I made, anyway. (:NRD)
