CFP 3.0.21.329 Released

Wrong!

I'm using NTFS and have the problem 

You can ask me anything related to the configuration or something to help you find the possible culprit, just send a PM or something!

Also, unlike some of the complaining users my problem isn't solved with second reboot or Last Known config. Only restoring a previous partition backup solves the problem. I get the session 5 BSOD and if i try to try a Last Known config i'll get a different BSOD as reported in the other thread.


Anyway i'm glad you're taking on this issue.

Cheers 

Your problem is fixed when you disable Defense+ PErmanently? Or Disabling some options from Defense->Advanced->Defense+Settings->Monior Settings?

Can you try to disable some of the monitor settings one by one to see if the problem is resolved.

Are you sure you are not blocking anything essential? Do you use CFP with default settings or did you modify some settings by yourself?

NTFS driver should not have this. Yours may be related to something else.

Can you also tell me if "Block all unknown requests while the application close option" is enabled or disabled?

At this time i don't have any version of Comodo installed because of the problem, anyway, if i remember correctly last version i tried, i did a clean install with the default options

It's hard to try one by one because every time it goes wrong i'll lose +30 minutes restoring the backup.

However i've never tried disabling defense+.

Still, here http://forums.comodo.com/bug_reports/session5initializationfailed-t19438.0.html;msg134977#msg134977 there is a post from someone who had Defense+ disabled and had the same problem so it might not be it!

That post should get you some of those answers for sure.

Thanks

The problem seems to be related to FAT32 filesystems.

nope. 8 years on NTFS only Before 3.0.18.309 I saw BSODs only on tv-shows about B.Gates, while ran chkdsk every month (thats for Vettetech

OK,
Disabling D+ doesn't fix problem.
Default D+ settigs.
"Block all unknown requests while the application closed" - allways disabled.

When I uninstalled CFP, checkdisk doesn't found any errors (was checked many times), I did clean CFP installation (3.0.21.309),  default config but this time unchecked "Objects To Monitor Against Direct Access", then offline chkdsk, BSOD, after BSOD - normal start (not "last good" or something), then run cmd "fsutil dirty query c:" result:  Volume - C: is Dirty

After you restart your PC, your volume will be in NTFS file system and will be much stable and secure. This should fix the related BSOD problems too.

Hope this helps,

You might also want to mention that once you convert to NTFS, you will not be able to convert back to FAT32. The convert command is one way only.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Do you have all the latest Windows XP updates installed?

Hi Guys,

The problem seems to be related to FAT32 filesystems. As a temporary fix, converting FAT32 filesystem to a more stable and secure NTFS would fix the problem until we identify the root cause of the issue. This issue happens to be reproducable in *some* windows XP systems and reproducing is somehow difficult.

To convert a FAT32 disk into NTFS, the following steps can be followed:

1 - Go to Start->Run, type "cmd" and then press enter.
2 - type "CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS" to convert the volume "C:" into NTFS filesystem.
3 - press "Y"es to approve the messages shown and restart your PC.

After you restart your PC, your volume will be in NTFS file system and will be much stable and secure. This should fix the related BSOD problems too.

Hope this helps,

Egemen

Good Day Egeman,

Sorry to disappoint You....
..But all my PCs have NTFS partitions Only......
And the BSOD occurs on All the PCs......

It also occurs in all my friend's PCs (which also Only have NTFS partitions)


I have:
Default D+ settings.

"Block all unknown requests while the application close option" is Disabled (Not ticked)

Disabling D+ doesn't fix the problem.

I have also noticed that if You run CHKDSK C: (with Comodo installed).....,
..CHKDSk seems to report errors that do Not exist.....


Glad to provide any other info......

Best wishes,

Roberta


PS:
I have all the Win XP patches installed Except the latest Mar08 lot....

As a matter of general interest, the Only time I have Ever had a BSOD has been due to this problem with CHKDSK & Comodo.....

This issue only occurs on Windows XP?

Good Day Josh,

The only desktop Windows version I use is XP SP2....

I will test and find out :-)

Then again... I rethought about this problem and I am running Vista, and no BSODS, etc occur... So I will wait for a confirm answer

Do you have all the latest Windows XP updates installed?

morning Egemen,

not realy, last full XP update I made about 3 month ago, and after that just waiting for SP3 final release.

-------------------------------------
BTW maybe someone don't knows - if you don't want to see after-chkdsk BSODs (waiting for fix), go Start->Run... and paste chkntfs /x C: (if "C" is your system disk).
There is no risk, OS just ignores "dirty volume" mark. The same via regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager
value name "BootExcecute", default data "autocheck autochk *", change it to autocheck autochk /k:c *, if you have PerfectDisk data is:
PDBoot.exe
autocheck autochk /k:C *

I have all Windows XP SP2 updates till now.

hi, anybody notice this bug report i posted? anybody working or gonna be working on it in the near future?

[Searinox]

I have a question. I noticed some extra files were added to CFP's installation as of 3.0.21, including a "scanners" folder with some .cav files, would those be Comodo AntiVirus? Is this the beginning of an AV integration in CFP?

Seems like it.  Right now they are part of the on-demand scanner.

[Josh123]

Egemen,

There seems to be some bugs, With the uninstaller and "auto-updating". I tried updating from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21, But got the "119 error message" how cfp.exe could not be copied. This has happened recently too with other updates.

I then tried uninstalling, and the uninstaller could NOT be found. I notice a few others have these types off issues as well, or similar, and hope these can be addressed in the next version, Instead of having to keep doing CLEAN UNINSTALLS and system restores...

I am running Windows Vista by the way.

Josh.
