[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1015528, member: 90907"] According to the Comodo website the free version apparently no longer includes the firewall (way down the page). [URL unfurl="true"]https://antivirus.comodo.com/#_ga=2.235011271.797909930.1641754220-660304561.1636388372[/URL] [I]Addendum[/I]: while the old dl link still works on the new free firewall page the executable file name has now changed from the perennial cfw_installer.exe to the new and improved cmd_fw_installer_138430009_eb.exe. My current version was 12.2.2.8012 so I downloaded the new and improved version, uninstalled the old one, installed it and reloaded the cruelsister enhancements. After going through the myriad of alerts I checked the new version and, lo and behold, it now reads 12.2.2.8012. The file sizes went from 5,711,824 bytes for cfw_installer.exe to 5,711,824 bytes for cmd_fw_installer_138430009_eb.exe. When I'm done digesting these findings I'll post my opinion.
