Comodo Memory Firewall 2.0.4.20 Bug Reports

Memory firewall causes GB-PVR mediacentre software installer to fail/use 100% CPU:

To test this yourself, please download installer from here: http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR10307.msi

1) CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+ 64-Bit version
2) OS: Windows XP Home SP2 32-Bit
3) CFP 3.5, CBOClean, AntiVir Free edition, Windows defender

4) Bug: running installer "GBPVR10307.msi" installer will start, but after clicking through all the 'next' buttons, when the installer comes to actually install, it locks up and CPU usage goes to 100%.

This is traced back to a file "C:\Documents and Settings\My_Username\Local Settings\Temp\MSI*.tmp" (where * is a random combination of numbers/letters which changes each time I run the installer) which is run by parent process msiexec.exe

5) Only way to resolve this issue appears to be to uninstall CMF. Adding the MSI*.tmp file to the exclusion list doesn't work since when you restart the installer, the file will have a different name.

I confirm Agent24's post, exactly the same problem on my pc.

1) AMD Athlon XP2200
2) OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 32 Bit
3) CFP 3.4, CBOClean, AntiVir Free edition, Comodo Firewall Free edition v 3.5.57173.439

4) the same as above.

I was able to install the GB-PVR s/w only after uninstalling CMF, disabling or turning off makes no difference.

I have discovered another problem, CMF will lock the computer when the latest version (0.99 Prebeta4) of EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is run.

(Haven't tried any older versions of EAC)

Adding "C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\CDRDAO\cdrdao.exe" (default path) to the exclusion list fixes this issue.

Both the bug and fix were easily reproducible consistently on 3 different systems

Not sure if this caused somehow in conjunction with BOClean but I think the BOClean tray icon is always green at the time of the freeze.

This is a notice that the problem discussed in the June 2008 timeframe (on the previous 'bug report' board) still exists with respect to CMF 2.0.4.20.

In the folder: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
the file/program csc.exe will execute cvtres.exe when called by the .net just-in-time compiler.

cvtres.exe will use 95% of cpu cycles until the calling program FTM.exe throws an exception for 'time out'.  FTM.exe is a part of Family Tree Maker 2008 or 2009, author: The Generations Network - Ancestry.com.

cpu: amd athlon xp 'socket a' barton core 2.2gHz
OS: Win XP Pro SP2
