Yes, you will only need to run the installer (twice).
As this topic is for bug reports, please post all questions/comments about the new version here.

I have been running CMF 2.0.4.20 for  a few hours now [WinXPSP2 on x86; CFP 3.0.15.277; BOClean 4.25; AVG Free 7.5.5.16; WinPatrol Plus 12.1.2007.0].  The issue with the tray icon appears completely resolved.

Software conflicts still exist.  I summarize here what I have found; some reported in other threads.

1. DropMyRights.exe must be added to the exclusion list; the applications it starts are all protected.

2. %windir%\system32\dumprep.exe must be added to the exclusion list.

3. %CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\CDRecord\cdrecord.exe must be added to the exclusion list; without it, Acronis TrueImage 7 will not work; this likely applies to later versions of ATI as well.  This issue may be related to the next item, since the same folder contains a copy of cygwin1.dll.

4. I have the Cygwin API installed to allow running Linux-like commands.  Every executable (e.g., ls.exe, pwd.exe, grep.exe) must be added individually to the exclusion list; there are over 200 of these, so the task is unreal!

Without the additions to the exclusion list mentioned, any of these applications hangs, consuming essentially all of the available cpu time.  Manual termination of the application is required, often through Task Manager.  The Linux commands seem to produce their expected output to the command prompt before hanging.

The effects on the Linux-like applications could be mitigated with the possibility for CMF to use regular expressions (e.g., ?*.exe) or folder names in the exclusion list; the latter would exclude all procedures in the subject folder.

Probably something that went wrong during the update/installation, so try re-installing it and see if it helps.

Adding it to Exclusions should solve the problem.

I found a small bug in the interface, or maybe its something bigger. At the lower left corner CMF is telling me that the driver is not active and to reinstall CMF. But I already did that, could this just be an interface bug or it really is not working.

Hi patrice58,
That red icon indicates that driver (cmgd.sys) is not active.
We just put that check to make user know in case CMF is really functioning or not.

Please check it out.

Thanks

Hello Ragwing!

Thanks to your reply, but it don't solved the problem. CMF is uninstalled... 

[marcos.zy]

Hi,

Great!

Now, with the version 2.0.4.20 my machine does not restarts automatically when I try to update. All seems to be ok now!

 

[Azucareros]

Okay, now it's green, everything is good. Thanks Commodus.

1. 32 bit
2. XP SP2 Hungarian
3. CFP 3's D+, avast! free
4. I installed the new memory firewall, waited a bit before i switch off the computer. It was like 10h just before i switch the pc back. Seems CMF just took the cpu time away, both cvtres.exe instances got somehow the same high cpu usages (random, both below 50%): this is below 100% but definetly something abnormal (they won't drop cpu usage to 00%). I've terminated the processes through taskmanager and just launched the "COMODO Memory Firewall" link from Start Menu but the interface must have some problems at me cause i only saw the four clickable buttons (see attached picture). I got no graphical problems with any other softwares (nor with games), ideas?
5. Part1: I killed the processes from taskmanager to avoid the cpu usage. Awaiting for futher ideas...
