[SOLVED] Networking screwed after uninstalling Comodo firewall
I installed Comodo firewall since it was the only 3rd party firewall available when I first got my new PC. I got tired of it not remembering rules, and decided to uninstall it. Upon rebooting, my internet connection did not work. Vista said no connection was detected. I checked in the device manager for my network adapter. Comodo had created three entries in the network adapters section. I didn't tell it to.
NVIDIA nforce Networking Controller(default) NVIDIA nforce Networking - Comodo Firewall Miniport WAN Miniport (IP) - Comodo Firewall Miniport WAN Miniport (IPV6) - Comodo Firewall Miniport The default device says it is still working. The other three entries won't let me remove them. I deleted every file and registry entry that had to do with Comodo with no luck. I reinstalled the nforce drivers from Nvidia, and they didn't change. I reinstalled Comodo, and then uninstalled again with no luck. I tried to let Vista diagnose the problem, and it said that the drivers/hardware were having problems but offered no solution. My ethernet is integrated , and can't be removed. How do I get rid of this crap and get my connection back? |

Re: Networking screwed after uninstalling Comodo firewall
Exactly the same thing has happened to me!!!!
I have Vista Business but never understodd where the problem was. I manually uninstalled it just like you (removed everything in the registry that had to do with the word "comodo") - since Comodo couldn't uninstall itself for some reason - and now none of my internet connections work; pcmcia-broadband modem, LAN/Ethernet or my WLAN! This is very frustrating and I were contemplating reinstalling Vista before I read that I wasn't the only one who had experienced this. Have you solved this? I am very anxious to get my internet working as I'll be moving soon and really need the internet to work for me. |

Re: Networking screwed after uninstalling Comodo firewall
I tried everything in that thread but sadly it didn't work for me.
I really don't want to reinstall some bootleg Vista on my nice Vaio. Isn't there any way that I can diagnose my drivers or protocols (3rd party program) to know where the problem really is? According to my Device Manager, all the drivers are up to date. And when I check my settings everything is there. It just wont connect. I see all the WLANs, and I can connect to the remote computer with my Huawei-modem. But I can't log on to it. It's really wierd. And also if I plug in a LAN-cable that I know works, my computer doesn't recognize it. When I click "diagnose" Vista says that there could be some problems with my IP4 and IP6, and that I should check online for a solutions..... Catch-22. I really don't know what to do. :( |

Re: Networking screwed after uninstalling Comodo firewall
When REGEDIT'ing, don't forget the {CLSID}'s. Every time I change a file permission, a small C.O.M.O.D.O. installation window appears. I have yet to find it.

Re: Networking screwed after uninstalling Comodo firewall
Had the same problem, used an app called "Registrar Registry Manager 5.56 Professional Edition". Did a search for "comodo" right clicked on all the returns and then deleted them. Then did a search for "nt_Inspectmp" same deal as with comodo. No more problems. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 as my OS. I know, poor bugger
