    Comodo Firewall update addresses Windows Update problem

    Crossposted to Windows Update, Vista Security, Vista General, and Security
    newsgroups.

    Comodo says v3.0.15.277 fixes "the bug causing Windows Updates to fail in
    Windows Vista."
    Source: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.c...ase_notes.html

    Comodo users can download v3.0.15.277 from
    http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.c..._firewall.html

    Thanks, Donna!

    Well, then there's Zone Alarm...

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

    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 !

    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.
