AlienForce1 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Untill a few days ago I had installed in that comp. NAV2011 + Comodo Firewall Free 5.4.189822 and they were working ok . It seems that I forgot ``never fix what`s going well`` and I uninstalled that vers. of Comodo - I was thinking to upgrade to latest vers.5.5.195786 . From that moment problems appeared : - no more internet connection- NAV (v.2011) not recognized anymore by Action Center ( it says that I don`t have anti-virus and anti-spyware progr. installed ) :why: After a little research on internet I managed to reconnect the comp. to www. , but problems with NAV2011 remained ! Any ideea ? :frusty: :please: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojootti Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Shrug, you should always use either Acronis True Image or similar software and take frequent backups of your system, OR"time machine" like eaz-fix (search coders corner) or rollback rx (same software,same developers,different name)That's what I'm using,takes only a reboot to "rollback" my system to a "clean" system without any firewalls/av's ..Eventho reviews and tests been giving good results for comodo's firewall,I have like heard more bad about their software than good .. (for example,your problem..)And do -NOT- touch Comodo's Time Machine,it's based on OOOOOOOOLD CODE of eaz-fix/rollback rx and has a lot of bugs and it made my system unbootableI had to restore my whole partition from acronis image ...Just my few cents..

Ambrocious Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Something is fishy and bad with COMODO. I use to have COMODO System Cleaner and it would do all sorts of things WITHOUT my permission with no way of stopping it. It didn't have an option to stop it from doing what it was doing. I'd passively recommend to anyone with COMODO products to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienForce1 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thank you both ( Kojootti , Ambrocious ) for your suggestions - in the end I did a image restore from Acronis True Image Home . Now the problem is that that image is old (01.01.2011) , and was made when computer had installed Comodo Firewall (!!) + nod32 , but I want to reinstall Norton Antivirus 2011 ( or better try 2012 - what crack ?? ) because NAV was lighter on resources than nod32 . Do you have any suggestion of a firewall ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayeray Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 among the most popular anti viruses they are the poorest at protecting your computer. I work at a PC Repair shop (being the head tech) and every customer that comes in the door for a virus removal either has McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, Webroot, etc etc. Norton 2011 & 2012 does slow your system down quite a bit [ive noticed a big difference uninstalling it on customers computers].If anything I would recommend Avast, MBAM, or somewhere along those lines.

Kojootti Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yes,after you paste the first link,you DO GET a page with download link for trial-version,but you DO NOT download it...Next,you paste one of the links for the direct download link of the retail. Follow the instructions in that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
