New Comodo firewall question.?

Yesterday I turned off my Windows firewall and downloaded the Comodo Pro firewall. I have a lap top and run Windows XP and didn't know if I needed the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version so I opted for the 32 bit. If I should have gone for the 64 bit version, please someone let me know and I'll swap versions. My main question is this. I will run the new firewall in conjunction with the new free AVG 8. Spybot S%26D and Spyware Blaster for security, and C Cleaner for maintenance. Will the Comodo Pro firewall be safe to run with the above software, or will it conflict with any of them ? I will uninstall if advised to by someone who knows what they're talking about.

You did fine. The 64bit version is mainly for 64bit Vista operating systems %26 xp 64bit (you'd most likely know if you had xp 64bit - I wouldn't worry about it).



Your firewall will work fine with the above software. It's only bad to have 2 virus protections together. Example: if you were trying to run avg %26 avast - they would argue %26 cause problems.



I think comodo is a pretty good firewall when I compare it to zonealarm.



I'd also back up the freebe's with an occasional 2nd opinion if you surf alot or download alot of stuff. I like trendmicro's housecall, it's a free online scanner that also removes the stuff it finds for free unlike the others who find things %26 prompt you to buy their product.
