I had to re-install the COMODO firewall and then use its own un-install process. That removed the acting COMODO firewall and then able to enable the OS firewall. The other added features/add-ons can be also un-installed using the add/remove from the control panel. However, the previous unfinished problemI posted about still had the no connection to the WWW. I had to totally un-install the wifi link and then remove all reference of it and reboot. Once done, do a re-install of wifi access and re-enter the key and finally connect. This whole process took about 6-7hrs. on/off time to resolve until it all settled. It appears to glitch some too but it does finalize during the boot-up cycle, which it hadn't done before but for now its resolved. -----Willy Happy
