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
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-

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) :cool: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phoenix_abhi's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18192
Thank you for your replies, I've uninstalled Comodo now and am back to 75 second reboots. -- Lovyan
