![]() Should I just leave both programs as they are, or do you suggest to tweak their options? One thing that seems to supports this thought, is that Comodo's firewall auto-sandbox feature is disabled by default (I think), maybe to avoid conflicts with antivirus software which has a sandbox feature. I read some posts suggesting to configure mutual exclusions between the two programs (but they were old posts from years ago, I think on the Avast forum).īut is this really required/necessary? Sounds strange/unlikely that Comodo Free Firewall would be designed in such a way that it conflicts with an antivirus by default (since an antivirus is installed most of the times). I think that this would be strange/unlikely though, since a firewall should normally be designed to work together with an antivirus (which should be installed on most systems), and the programmers from Comodo probably have thought about this. I am concerned that this antivirus-similar functions could conflict with an installed antivirus, in my case Avast Free Antivirus 2015. I think I've read that this antivirus-similar functions are used just to protect the firewall itself. I have the impression (not sure) that the Comodo Free Firewall has some features which are normally found in antivirus software. That's why I have installed the free firewall from Comodo. I know that Windows XP is not supported anymore by Microsoft, and thus subject to unpatched vulnerabilities exploits, so I'm trying to make the system a little more secure (while being extra careful when using this netbook, e.g. I have questions about a system (Asus EeePC netbook) with Windows XP Home, Avast Free Antivirus 2015, and Comodo Free Firewall version 8. ![]() I'll just copy&paste that post, with some changes. I have already written a post on the Comodo forums, but received only an answer and would like more feedback.
