Warcraft Patch Downloader

Today I've been downloading some updates for World of Warcraft. At first everything was going fine, I had given my Firewall permission to open a port for the downloader but I still encountered an error message saying that my Firewall was blocking access.



I went to the settings for my Netgear Router & turned on UPnP, I then opened several TCP ports, namely 6881-6999, 3724 & 6112. After a few minutes the warning message disappeared & everything was fine.

ActivePerl Problems Solved

A few days ago I downloaded ActivePerl from here. After installing it I thought I would try running some simple programs but I kept getting an access denied error. After rebooting my system & viewing the Proactive Defense Summary in my Comodo Firewall, I discovered that Perl was now working fine.

Side-by-Side Configuration

Recently I installed AVG in Vista, I noticed after restarting my computer that the AVG tray icon wasn't showing, so I tried starting the program manually & received a message regarding side-by-side configuration is incorrect. I'd also noticed that I could no-longer download files in my various web browsers.

I uninstalled AVG & decided to download Avira AntiVir, Comodo Firewall & Spybot, I've had no problem with them so far & I'm able to download files in Firefox again.
