Update 7 unusable PC

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Firewall Help - CIS
#1

Hi,
I received a notification that there was an update for Comodo and then not a lot happened. After a while a window opened and closed and only when I powered up this morning did I see that Comodo had updated.

I started my browser and could not connect to the net. I opened the next browser. Same result. I started a scan, thinking this would identify running processes and then allow a minimum configuration in learning mode.

Nope. The PC was unusable as nothing was allowed to run or connect. But the Comodo icon said I was secure.

Before I ban Comodo from my PC for good, is there something I did wrong? Should I have done something I did not do after the upgrade?
Is there a procedure to get Comodo Firewall to do what it is supposed to do without shutting off my PC?

Thanks.

That’s strange Andy, which version was comodo upgrading from?

#3

I uninstalled everything before it could cause any damage, so I can’t check.

I would imagine from the previous to the latest, ie v6 to v7.

#4

Most likely something went wrong during an update. It sounds like the Comodo firewall driver may have gotten corrupted. If you are still experiencing problems reinstalling by following the advice I give here should be able to solve this.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, indeed, there must have been a hitch during the update.

Downloaded. Clean install. It is running now.

It’s unnerving that I am asked whether I want to allow programs such as Skype to run and that I can’t sort the Rating Scanner according to “Rating”, but I suppose those are minor hiccups.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers for now
