Comodo 8.2.0.4674

[hjlbx]

I don't think the updated comodo firewall turns off windows built in firewall, i had to turn mine off manually.

It could be Comodo, but then again it could be Windows.

There is a long, long, long-standing issue of race conditions involving security softs and Windows Security Center\Action Center...

It's an annoyance rather than any kind of significant threat to your system security.

@yesnoo : Well for me, yes since I don't need to make things complicated.

Previous CIS version use to disable Win FW...& when CIS disables Win FW it disables all 3 i.e Domain, Pvt & Public & not like others that only disables Pvt & Public.

And if you disable Win FW manually within the settings Pvt & Pub are disabled. To disable Domain you have to go to advanced settings.

So have you disabled Domain too?

And 1 more thing I have noticed. CIS correctly disables Win FW i.e if you check advanced settings of Win FW you will see all 3 Domain, Pvt & Pub disabled. But I have noticed with most third party FW that they disable Win FW on the main page only but when you check advanced settings of Win FW all 3 are enabled. Eset comes to mind i.e Eset disables Win FW on the main page & mentioned Eset is in control but if you check advanced settings of Win FW all 3 are ON?

All three are disabled.

Actually, I'm not sure if they will consider it now. I've been informed (later by PM) that it's intended behavior but they will try to prevent any kind of conflict. Confused a bit.. I'm guessing version 9 will clear everything up. But then again some say Windows Firewall is disabled and some say it's enabled.
Perhaps it depends (eg different behavior) on the version of Windows like the Sandbox module.

All three are disabled.

Did you disabled Domain manually or disabling Win FW through settings disabled all 3?
Coz on my previous OS Win 7..disabling Win FW through settings always disabled only Pvt & Public. Dont know how it works on Win 10?

Intended behavior? Thats confusing...Comodo always disabled Win FW here.
I too have posed the query on Comodo forum..lets see if there is any reply from Devs..as nowadays little activity on Comodo forum from Devs, etc... Yeah Melih is seen most often but he comes only to drop his regular lines like Congrats team, Well done or advertise Comodo products, etc...

That's great, @yesnoo.
Looking forward to response.

Dont know if shutdown or whatever solved the search prob but after shutdown & starting the system...search prob is solved.

UPDATE - Search prob - Restart the system & search prob is back. Shutdown & start the system & search prob is gone.
Dont know Win 10 or CIS prob?

It's not a new feature, since Windows 8, whenever Windows Defender detects a 3rd party Antivirus, it will disable itself.

Comodo may not be fully optimised to run on Windows 10, it's a new OS with new features and functionality. It's better to stay with less complex security solutions, as they cause less issues. Many security solutions treat Windows, like it's still XP.

@yesnoo Is SearchUI.exe 'Search and Cortana application' running in the background?

mpssvc.dll (Windows Firewall) is never completely disabled...

With CIS - and most other AVs with integrated firewall - installed and Windows Firewall showing Off in Action Center and Control Panel, check under services in Task Manager. You should find:

mpssvc.dll - "Running"

It is always running in the background... otherwise how would it detect when the 3rd party firewall is uninstalled ? In other words, so it can detect the uninstall and then pass that on to Action Center to prompt user to reactivate ?

If I am not mistaken, mpssvc.dll detects and then Action\Security Center reports (alerts\notifies)... typically in the Task Bar tray... so mpssvc.dll is necessary to be running in the background.

In case somebody run into a problem with Comodo Firewall!

To avoid bitter disappointment and massive frustration, my recommendation - based upon my own prior experience with earlier versions of Comodo products - is simply to not use Comodo on a W10 system for 9 months to a year. To be perfectly honest, I think it is going to take even longer than 12 months for Comodo to fix functionality on W10 since it is quite buggy on W8.1 nearly 3 years later.

It's going to take time for Comodo engineering to get it all sorted out...

Later, when you reinstall Comodo you will likely still be disappointed by bugs, but it won't be nearly as bad as it is at this point in time.

I think the best way is to fresh install Win 10 & fresh install CIS i.e latest version
Atleast here yet dont have any probs on Win 10 64 fresh install & latest CIS.

Planning to fresh install Win 10 64 on other system & latest CIS.
