I have ended up uninstalling Comodo for two reasons.
First, it allowed several applications to have access without my permission and without running the tool to search for known applications that are suppose to be fine to allow access.
Second, it slowed down my system. I haven't seen anyone complain about a performance hit; but, I have experienced it. My wife plays an online puzzle game everyday. Yesterday, after having installed Comodo, the puzzle game was sluggish. I thought nothing of it at first. But, it got me thinking that it might be a performance hit from Comodo. So, I started up a game of mine that is not resource intensive and does not use the Internet at all. It too was sluggish. I examined the running processes to make sure I didn't have both ZoneAlarm and Comodo running at the same time. ZoneAlarm was not running on the system. I restarted the computer and tried the game again. Again it was sluggish. So, I uninstalled Comodo, restarted, installed ZoneAlarm again, and restarted again. The game returned to its normal self.
My system is not new by any means; but, it is no slouch either. It is an AMD Athlon XP 2800+, Asus A7N8X v. 2.0 Deluxe motherboard (NForce2 Ultra 400 chipset) with the latest BIOS, 1GB DDR SDRAM PC3200 Memory, ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro with 128MB onboard memory, 250GB Western Digital Hard Drive, Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the latest updates. Again, not the latest and greatest; but, it is pretty fast nonetheless. I shouldn't have a problem running a software firewall. But Comodo slowed my system anyway.
