windows firewall/notifications in event viewer.

[peter c.a.hawkins]

I have windows firewall turned off and comodo pro installed.
Every time i reboot the computer in event viewer i get 2 security errors:-
windows firewall was unable to notify the user that it blocked an
application from accepting incoming connections on the network.
error code 2.
How do i stop these 2 events from occuring every time i reboot?

Uninstall the 3rd party firewall apps., it's Phoney Baloney ware.

You are not going to find anything better than the Vista FW and Vista in
itself due to the advanced features the FW and Vista are using.

"Personal Firewalls" are mostly snake-oil.

Exploring The Windows Firewall.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/06/VistaFirewall/default.aspx
"If you try to block outbound connections from a computer that’s already
compromised, how can you be sure that the computer is really doing what you
ask? The answer: you can’t. Outbound protection is security theater—it’s a
gimmick that only gives the impression of improving your security without
doing anything that actually does improve your security. This is why
outbound protection didn’t exist in the Windows XP firewall and why it
doesn’t exist in the Windows Vista™ firewall."

Vista Firewall Control.
Protects your applications from undesirable network incoming and outgoing
activity, controls applications internet access.
