Nice. Malware couldn't do a better job than Comodo could, could it ?

Re: Comodo Firewall update addresses Windows Update problem

Well, then there's Zone Alarm...

[Wonder how many Comodo users will see this thread?]

Re: Comodo Firewall update addresses Windows Update problem

Yes. I love joking but don't include those emoticon things.
ANY software that will not allow the OS to update and replace system
files ** IS a joke ** in my opinion. That is *specifically* how malware
operates.

A hardware firewall plus the native Windows firewall provides sufficient
protection and will not hamper the OS nor it's ability to be updated.
Case, closed. Next !

Re: Comodo Firewall update addresses Windows Update problem

Correct, and I don't want to start an argument here, but that's only when
Defense+ is installed. You have a choice to disable Defense+ when you setup
the firewall. If it was malware, do you think you would have a choice? No.
