Comodo firewall question

Charlton_King

Ok, the usual situation after a 'you'll be fine' promise:

Done all the McAfee removal, run the Comodo installation only to find a box pop up calling itself 'WinZip Self-extractor' and announcing 'Error0 running command ./CFP_Setup_3.0.15.277_XP_Vista_x64.exe'

The second item should be a backward sloping slash rather than forward.

Any thoughts?

Yes, I'm interested in installing a new firewall, too. Are there any recommendations for Vista?

And I've just run into exactly the same installation problem as Cjarlton King. Can't be bothered with it. What other free firewalls are technically good, please?

Did you download the correct verison 64 or 32 bit?

Jolanta_Nowak

My processor is a Athlon 2 x 64 so I clicked on the 64 bit version. Got the box mentioned by CK.

There's no way I can be bothered going into lots of technical troubleshooting steps which might produce more trouble than their worth.

I just want an instal which goes cleanly and quickly. Not too much to ask?

:rolleyes:

Well I just installed comodo on a Amd 2x64 and the OS was 32bit.

Click on Start, then Right Click My Computer then left click on Properties to find out if its 32 or 64 bit.

Ok thanks for the info - it IS 32 bit, which really confuses me! Obviously that's where I've been going wrong.

Get the 32 version from here http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html

make sure any previous versions are uninstalled and restart the PC before the new install. :beer:

and choose standard installation not pro or expert user mode

Thanks. Should I turn off the resident Windows Defender firewall that comes with Vista?
