Have had Comodo installed for several months.
System Status is reported as Active and Running.
The Network Defense always reports 0 blocked intrusions while set to Safe Mode.
The Proactive Defense always reports 0 files awaiting your review (pending files) while set to Safe Mode.
Is this normal? Why no blocked intrusions, do I have some setting incorrect?
The firewall I used previously, ZoneAlarm, was constantly reporting blocked intrusions so I am beginning to wonder about Comodo doing its job.
OK, where is the ‘hitting yourself in the forehead’ message Icon?
I switched to WiFi a few months ago, I am now behind their router, so thats that.
Sorry, forgive a 70 year old man, will ya! I have only been fooling with PCs for 25 years, still learning.
Now, what accounts for the zero pending files? I do install and delete software on occasion.
That’s ok CU I’m actually 17 (:LGH)
Well there is an argument whether or not you need a software firewall VS a hardware firewall. The main pluses is that a hardware doesn’t use any system resourses, The minus is that it does not provide outbound protection and software firewalls can provide that aswelll as an easy configuration. I personally am behind a hardware and software firewall, Mainly because comodo is easy to use and I like it’s features.
Ok, Pending files - Is releated to Defense+
How you get them is by running your system in “Clean Pc” mode and Comodo will automaticly create a list of those files that it does not reconise, Though most people use and reccomend Safe Mode for better security.
