Comodo and Avast

[iinfi]

hi
as my reliance wifi network is not a secure one, i use Comodo Firewall and Avast Free home antivirus. Even after i train the firewall it still does wierd things and practically blocks everything.
i blocks all the ports and i cant run Oracle as it blocks the services also.

Can anyone suggest some other better firewall or a workaround?

How about trying Windows Firewall itself ? MS says its the best thing ever :rolleyes:

I use my bundled ClamAV antivirus and SEL/IPtables firewall and I am kept happy. :D

I wish to buy a portable digital audio recorder. I am using Nokia N72, it provides only 1 minute for audio recording and sound quality is very poor.
Could anybody suggest a good model of a reputed brand.

buddy even i faced the same problem
Click the remember this action before clicking Allow
or u can define a trusted application in the settings
or click treat this as "Trusted application" during popup...

Don't ditch CF :D

Disable the Defense+ Security level (if u are using the latest version)
It is not required IMO
and i have not faced any such problem..I have set the firewall to custom policy not the training mode

Windows Firewall is best of all....

Enable Windows Firewall ...and..Just see the log file..
you can see performance...
