[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 459392, member: 32547"] Turns out the problem was with Glasswire. It calls itself a firewall, but it's really just a connection info program for the most part unless the upgraded version is purchased. 360 Total Security offers it as a network monitor. When I turned off Private Firewall, Glasswire blocked the internet connection. I suspect that the configuration that I had for it in PF kept it from being able to do this, since PF is about 80% about program behaviors. Thanks to everyone for the information. By the way, I have run Comodo Firewall with PF on the PC. It worked fine. I disabled the PF service and then removed it from startups. I haven't noticed any intrusiveness of PF. Seems to be the opposite to me based on the last two years I have used the program. As far as I can tell PF is as simple a firewall as there can be. CF on the other hand?... BTW, I use Comodo Programs Manager to get rid of traces. It records installations, and it does as good a job as I care to do. Haven't had any problems with traces of programs, and I have used it to remove Avast and all its system altering additions to a PC. It worked perfectly to the point that I didn't feel like I needed to use the avast removal tool or any other uninstallers or cleaners. [/QUOTE]
