ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Don't worry about the number of topics; you are welcome to come here with any problem or question you have. Well, at least as long as it concerns computers, that is...Error code xxxxx(dont want to type it all out).No such interface supported.At least you should give us the 'xxxxx', otherwise we have no clue what's happened.Do you have an anti-virus software installed? Comodo, I assume, is the personal firewall.Someone will suggest some free AV software - you do need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 There's a version of Comodo that now includes an anti-virus module.Amy, please give the details of the error code. If possible post a screen-shot of what you have. If not, please note if the error code is from Microsoft/Windows or from Comodo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hb_Kai Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 There's a version of Comodo that now includes an anti-virus module.I think that's the Comodo Internet Security.Did you download Internet Security of just the firewall?Secunia PSI might be interesting for you.Spyware DoctorBefore going on, just to make sure. What scanners did you download? The ones that said you have to pay for them. It's possible you may have accidentally downloaded a rogue program. If you followed the list you asked for you wouldn't, but if you googled everything you may have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hb_Kai Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 It's a way of company's getting money but can be abused by hackers to make similar stuff and build rogues. I recommended it to her as I have this on two laptops currently, and have done in the past and have never had a problem, but I think there is a version of this which you pay for after your scan - I didn't download it from that website.

Amy Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 now everytime i download Comodo this happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Amy, did you run the Network Diagnostics as suggested, and what was the result?Also please check the Windows Security Centre firewall (from Control Panel) and make sure the default Windows firewall is switched off as it may be conflicting with Comodo.What does the Windows Security Centre say about the firewall?

Seshomaru Samma Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think using IP policies is perhaps easier than installing a firewallI'm quoting from this thread :6.) Another thing I do for securing a Windows NT-based OS: IP Port Filtrations (like ip security policies (per AnalogX above), it is often called the "poor man's firewall" & works perfectly with both IPSecurity policies, hardware AND software firewalls, all in combination/simultaneously running)!DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEM (very easy):Start Menu -> Connect To Item (on the right hand side) -> Local Area Connection (whatever you called it, this is the default, iirc) open it via double click OR, right-click popup menu PROPERTIES item -> Properties button on left-hand side bottom, press/click it -> NEXT SCREEN (Local Area Connection PROPERTIES) -> "This connection uses the followng items" (go down the list, to Tcp/IP & select it & /click the PROPERTIES button there) -> Press/Click the Advanced Button @ the bottom Right-Hand Side (shows Advanced Tcp/IP Settings screen) -> OPTIONS tab, use it & Tcp IP Filtering is in the list, highlite/select it -> Beneath the Optional Settings, press/click the PROPERTIES button on the lower right-hand side -> Check the "Enable Tcp/IP Filtering (on all adapters)" selection -> In the far right, IP PROTOCOLS section, add ports 6 (tcp) & 17 (udp) -> In the far left "tcp ports" list - check off the radio button above the list titled "PERMIT ONLY", & then add ports you want to have open (all others will be filtered out, & for example, I leave port 80,8080, & 443 here open, only - you may need more if you run mail servers, & what-have-you (this varies by application)) -> I leave the UDP section "PERMIT ALL" because of ephemeral/short-lived ports usage that Windows does (I have never successfully filtered this properly but it doesn't matter as much imo, because udp does not do 'callback' as tcp does, & that is why tcp can be DDOS'd/DOS'd imo - it only sends out info., but never demands verification of delivery (faster, but less reliable)) -> DONE!add a HOSTS file, blocking javascript in your browser, microsoft updates and frequent malware scans (with adaware, spybot, trendsmicro) and you should be very safe(I would also advice against Adobe Reader , insecure and heavy on the Ram, use foxit reader instead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 There are instances that IP Tables aren't as safe as you'd think, so then a firewall may just be safer. Go along with Decandy's idea and get back to us. There should be some type of notification to tell you what's wrong.This may help too. It's a step-by-step guide to setting up Comodo Firewall.
