I found a support article about the new version having problems if the
old version isn't completely uninstalled so I guess one has to uninstall
the older version before installing the new one.

Well, that's an older post and it concerns Comodo Pro, not the free version.
It /may/ apply to Comodo Free but YMMV.

I'm running Comodo Pro on two machines and paid absolutely nothing. Pro
*is* the free version. See http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ where
it states:

"Unlike some other 'free' firewalls, this is not a stripped down version
but is the full, completely functional product. Updates and upgrades are
also free."
