Question / Help Comodo Firewall Internet Security + Dropped Frames

[Darkmage4]

So it seems that Comodo Firewall and OBS seem to have issues together. I trust and have always used Comodo for years now. I've upgraded my computer and in the last several months have not used any software on my streaming PC, as is, just streaming. But something told me to install security again, so I did. I started to drop frames right away. Didn't have an issue before. So I uninstalled and all is fine now. I made sure it was all white listed and allowed out.

I have attached a log. It's very peculiar.

Comodo is pretty bad, I would recommend removing it and using only Windows firewall. It's well known to cause performance and connectivity issues, plus their antivirus module does a lot of interfering with core Windows functionality.

Really? That sucks, been using their software for years now with Combination of Malwarebytes. So Windows Firewall is trustworthy then? I've been having some security concerns lately. I don't have it installed right now. Is there any free recommendations to use that wont interfere with OBS, besides Windows Firewall? Thanks for your reply.

Almost all users are behind a NAT router which doubles as a firewall. No incoming connections can be made unless you use port forwarding. Windows firewall also is perfectly good at what it does, preventing inbound connections unless you allow them.

If you use a firewall to block outbound connections, then it's too late - if malware is on your PC already then it can mess with the firewall directly or cause other damage, a firewall won't protect you from that. Windows firewall is all anyone really needs.
