Updates?

Help for v2
1

HI, I have just downloaded/installed the comodo firewall. When i try to check for updates, in the task bar, i right click on the check for updates and another comodo icon pops up and spins and thats all it does. SO is there no updates or is something wrong?

Must of the time when you download firewall’s etc. there is always new updates to download.

The task bar icon currently (not sure if it will change) only checks for updates for itself, which is the Comodo Launch Pad.

If you have CPF or CAV also installed, you can manually force each to check for updates in their own menus… like CPF for example has an “Updater” button up by the “Help” button.

Ok, says there is no new update…How often is the firewall updated?

The firewall is currently in a second beta stage after the last stable release. I assume you have the 2.2.0.11 version (which is the last stable release).

Beta versions are not pulled down as updates. If you wanted to try a newer beta version, you would need to unistall your current CPF before installing it.

These past Beta version are bringing some good enhancements and fixes, but a big change was Comodo’s move to dump Install Sheild and create their own installer. Not sure, but when the next release does come, you might want to uninstall your version and go for a clean install on the next final release that uses Comodo’s Installer.

Regarding your log messages, other than the port scan… it looks like you need some rules defined (or blocked application rules opened) to get your CS:DOD functioning, as it looks like your blocking it.

What Network Control Rules do you have? What Application Rules do you have for hl2.exe?

if someone/something is really trying to probe you… it might have had potential to be bad… but CPF stopped it… so no worries ;D
