After installing Comodo, though logged in as adminstrator, tried to run /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh and it says
even though I am logged in as an adminstrator. This was downloaded on the Ubuntu Software Center and I have Ubuntu 14.04. So now I have a GUI that seems to work but a panel to the left with file system filter driver not loaded - run diagnostics. I run them, try to type the command line in the gnome terminal and same error occurs. So frustrating!

Comodo Filesystem Filter Driver Is Not Loaded
tried to run /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh and it says 'Please run this script with adminstrative priviledges even though I am logged in as an adminstrator.
Please note that, even you logged in with your admin user as you say this means nothing in Linux, even you have admin privileges, you in really not using those privileges and in really system treats you as a normal user UNLESS you use sudo or su to root.
There are two ways to run administrative applications in Linux. You can either switch to the super user (root) with the su command, or you can take advantage of sudo.
Read this introduction to SUDO.
Back to your question
Please run this script with adminstrative priviledges
Then you need to call your script using sudo:

Refer to this post in the Comodo forum
guys there are talking about some patch or some other fixes which may be not valid!!!
I advise you to try some other antivirus tools, you can check available from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus.
Personally I like ClamAV. Here full nice tutorial How do I scan for viruses with ClamAV?
How is the Firewall taking priority over other applications when the PC first boots? How is the priority given,is it through a kernel driver?
I'm using Comodo Firewall and I see that the Spotify app is loading before Comodo loads;well it seems like that since the Spotify panel appears before the Comodo one.I mean the Firewall has to start first before other applications can access the internet,isn't that so?
That might be ok for Spotify but what if there is a rogue app that gets access to the internet before the firewall does? How can you prevent that?

How is the Firewall taking priority over other applications when the PC first boots?
I'm using Comodo Firewall and I see that the Spotify app is loading before Comodo loads; well it seems like that since the Spotify panel appears before the Comodo one.
The apps that you see loading are the GUI components of Spotify and Comodo.
These GUI components are loaded during logon. At this point the protection parts of Comodo are already loaded so the system is secure.
The protection parts of Comodo (
cmdagent.exeand the Inspect packet filter driverinspect.sys) are loaded very early in the boot process (before explorer starts).Inspect runs at the lowest level (kernel level).
The processes that protect are actually Comodo Internet Security Helper Service (cmdagent.exe) and the Inspect packet filter driver (which runs under Comodo Internet Security Helper Service).
They start very early in the boot process. Cis.exe is the client program; it is the program that provides the UI and instructs cmdagent.exe how to behave. Cistray.exe provides the tray icon, widget and starts cis.exe.
Protection is provided regardless whether cistray.exe and cis.exe are running.
Source Why does cis.exe get launched as a service?
CIS uses WFP in conjunction with inspect.sys packet filter driver. Inspect runs at the lowest level (kernel level) where WFP runs at higher levels.
Source Is CIS using Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) or what?
What if there is a rogue app that gets access to the internet before the firewall does? How can you prevent that?
A Firewall will not prevent the installation of rogue apps. You need another layer of security to do this, for example an AntiVirus program.
There are also progams that will monitor system changes. I useWinPatrol which has the following alerts:
New Start-up Programs
Spyware and Malware need to start in order to run. Protect your startup programs.

Creation of Scheduled Tasks
Scheduled tasks are a way spyware and malware will schedule one of their minions to run. Don’t let them use your task scheduler against you.

Malware will typically change file type associations to get you to run their program. In addition, this helps to prevent file hi-jacking of file type associations by impolite programs.
Newly Active-X components
You need to know what is installed on your computer.
