That said, I am running 3.0.13.268. Does the new version install over the top or must one uninstall the current install? Thanks, Alias |

Looks like Comodo doesn't offer the update within the console.

Sigh. That's easier than asking on their forums ;-) Alias |

It /may/ apply to Comodo Free but YMMV. |

See [url]http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/[/url] where it states: "Unlike some other 'free' firewalls, this is not a stripped down version but is the full, completely functional product. Updates and upgrades are also free." Alias |
