The thread in which PA Bear seemed to be talking to himself bothered me.
I know how those resolutions usually work out - I guess you do too.
Would-be leaders are furnishing crap heaving examples - nastiness works?

Nice. Malware couldn't do a better job than Comodo could, could it ?

Crossposted to Windows Update, Vista Security, Vista General, and Security
newsgroups.

Comodo says v3.0.15.277 fixes "the bug causing Windows Updates to fail in
Windows Vista."

Which is what I will do. That said, Comodo Pro running in XP is similar
to UAC in Vista. I'm impressed.

Comodo Pro in XP = UAC in Vista is a /recommendation/ ? (I recomend you
consult a psychiatrist about your masochistic tendencies.)

It's not as intrusive as UAC and after it learns, it shuts up.

Yes. I love joking but don't include those emoticon things.
ANY software that will not allow the OS to update and replace system
files ** IS a joke ** in my opinion. That is *specifically* how malware
operates.

A hardware firewall plus the native Windows firewall provides sufficient
protection and will not hamper the OS nor it's ability to be updated.
Case, closed. Next !

Correct, and I don't want to start an argument here, but that's only when
Defense+ is installed. You have a choice to disable Defense+ when you setup
the firewall. If it was malware, do you think you would have a choice? No.

I just found out about this today. I exited Comodo and was finally able
to download the patches from Tuesday (which are needed for SP 1). I will
download the newer version of Comodo and install it to see if this
helps.

This is an old thread. Comodo Firewall Pro has been updated at least once
more since these posts were written. Download 3.0.16 from CFPs home page if
you are going to reinstall.
