New Update New Version 12.3.3.8152 Available for Comodo Internet Security 2025

[ErzCrz]

Workaround found by any more experienced person. In the HIPS Settings (even if you have disabled) you need to remove "Windows Sockets Interface" from Protected Files. You'll then be able to allow internet connection with sandboxed browsers. I don't run browsers sandboxed myself so leaving it there at my end.

Spoiler: HIPS >>Protected Files >>Windows Sockets Interface

Hi, I followed your advice and it worked for me (I don't have “hips” enabled). Thanks for your help.

OK, I installed CIS2025 on my wife's laptop, and forgot to uncheck the AV option.. uninstalled with REVO, installed again with AV unchecked but it still installed the AV option and not the FW only option.. what am I missing? Is there something in TEMP or somewhere that is allowing this to happen? thanks in advance.

You have to download the premium version not the other one

I believe it was the Premium version..

I believe it was the Premium version..

To the best of my memory, the pro installer doesn't offer custom install options. You appear to be using the free or premium installer. On that same screen, click "agree and continue" once you've unchecked the antivirus. Instead of uninstalling, you can also try selecting 'Change' and unticking the antivirus.

All detailed in this video, it's quite straight forward: Comodo Firewal 2025 Setup and Commentary
The direct download for the latest premium (Free) version is: Comodo Premium 2025.

yep, did everything as I should.. option-uncheck AV-install.. but each time I get the AV installed.. only thing I do differently is uncheck the DNS option.
I really don't know why, but everything went smooth as silk when I installed it on my PC..

You can change what's installed by going to Windows apps - Installed Apps and clicking Uninstall and then Selecting Change and deselecting AV. See below.

Does the startup list in your Task Manager include Comodo? My SSD laptop, running CF 12.3.4.8162, has Comodo in its startup, unlike my HDD laptop.

yes, on my PC and wife's laptop.

yes, on my PC and wife's laptop.

Both my HDD and SSD laptops had "cis" entries listed in the Windows startup with the previous Comodo version. Following the Comodo update, my HDD laptop's startup lacks a Comodo entry; however, my SSD laptop displays a "cmdinstall" entry. Comodo functions well on both laptops.
