V3 Beware

I am just your average home user. I have been using Comodo firewall V2 for several months with no problems and thought it to be a great product. It passed all the GRC tests including the Leak test no problem.

Then on Friday it said a new update was available so I downloaded and installed the new version which was V3. Have had no problems with my PC unlike some users, however I did run Leak test and no matter what I tried it always failed.

Also after installing V3, I run all my usual anti-virus and anti-spy ware scans, and this is what Ad aware found (WIN32.BACKDOOR.AGENT.) Which wasn’t on my system prior to installing V3

If you found that with ad-aware, then I really think it’s ad-aware reporting a false positive, if not then maybe something slipped through your antivirus through installing/uninstalling the firewall maybe.

if you ran Ad-Aware and thats what hit on WIN32.BACKDOOR.AGENT it IS A FALSE POSITIVE http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=14160 ← that is the link to the Lavasoft forum detailing it , simply put, if Ad-Aware reported that, UPDATE your definitions!

Another FP!
please report it to Ad aware so that they can fix it!

thanks
