Hi Rakesh,

provides detailed info (reference links at the bottom of Wiki page). It's really a "homework question" which I almost chose not to answer. You really need to understand more about it first, and provide much more info to me 2nd about your system and what's on it. For more involvement on a professional's part, because of the time and effort involved in locating the real problem - there might be a fee involved. However, there are some excellent free forums (see Enrgy21.com or favorite search engine), but some require that you become a subscriber/member.   

As far as McAfee and Comodo, according to McAfee's site description of the program, it already has a Firewall. One should never have 2 software firewalls engaged on one machine at the same time. If you remove McAfee you lose some other things it does, but it's up to you. McAfee forums and McAfee's site has considerable information (use site search) to confirm that it has a Firewall. More info about Firewalls is FirewallGuide.com.
