Comodo caused very slow boot up and shut down
Vista 64 bit Avira anti-virus 4gb RAM Since installing Comodo 3.0 on my PC is now taking about 15 minutes to shut down and about 10 minutes to boot up. Prior to this a restart took 75 seconds. I think it must be Comodo as uninstalling it fixes the problem. I've unticked the option to run automatically and instead it starts using task scheduler. I've also set Comodo firewall + defense to learning mode and rebooted to no avail. I'm thinking I'm just gonna uninstall and turn Windows back on. That should be enough with my routers firewall, Avira AV and regular runs of Spybot, A2 & Adaware. -- Lovyan

Comodo caused very slow boot up and shut down
I don't use a third party firewall, but instead rely on Windows built in firewall and Avira as well as my router and haven't had any problems. I used Comodo on my old XP machine but had problems with cmdagent hogging resources and ended up uninstalling it the same as you have. I think you will be just fine with your current setup minus Comodo. -- locoeng Vista Ultimate 32/64 bit dual boot Gigabyte EP35 DS3R XFX GeForce 8600GT Corsair 520HX G.Skill DDR II 800 X2 gigs Seagate 120GB (IDE) X2 WD 750 (SATA) Samsung SH203B SBO3 patched codeking Pioneer 215L patched MCSE NEC/Optiarc 7200S 1.06bt Liggy&Dee Lite-On 20A1L BL06 -FB FBL EOS EOHT 6-

Nobody needs this kind of software on a functional OS. I think it must be Comodo as uninstalling it fixes the problem. Quite right! I've unticked the option to run automatically and instead it starts using task scheduler. I've also set Comodo firewall + defense to learning mode and rebooted to no avail. That happens with badly coded software. I'm thinking I'm just gonna uninstall... You won't regret uninstalling this 'thing'! You may wish to have look at these links... http://forums.comodo.com/frequently_...o-t9508.0.html http://forums.comodo.com/help_for_v2...html;topicseen ....to ensure this 'whatever-they-call-it' is removed entirely from your operating system! If you still experience problems, you may wish using this: Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ ...and turn Windows back on. Educational reading: Managing the Windows Vista Firewall http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/m.../cc510323.aspx That should be enough with my routers firewall,... Maybe you knew about this... Implement countermeasures against DNSChanger http://extremesecurity.blogspot.com/...-hijacked.html ...Avira AV and regular runs of Spybot, A2 & Adaware.

Comodo caused very slow boot up and shut down
Undoubtedly Comodo is a system hog. It takes a lot of cpu (48-55) but then it has a Unique design and far far better than Windows FW. If anyone have doubt go for some FW leak test and I do not remember the site name, but the leak test contains a Virus, which did not stopped by Windows FW. Luckily I have KIS 9, Spysweeper in place and quarantined the threat. Again I have taken the test Comodo installed and it stopped and displayed it as a threat. Now I am not using the Comodo, KIS 9 has everything in it Comodo has a inbuilt Anti Spyware scanner which required to update manually -- phoenix_abhi 'Technical Development and INDIA' (http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/home.jsp)  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phoenix_abhi's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18192

Comodo caused very slow boot up and shut down
An update released today must have had some bad stuff in it. Two of my computers crashed at the same time, and cmdagent was sucking all cpu power on both.
