Wonderware InTouch doesn't start with antivirus installed

A couple things you could try...

Depending on what OS you have installed, you might be running into either the OS firewall, or DEP (Data Execution Prevention)... or perhaps the Comodo software, which I am not familiar with (but I see you are in good hands there..!!)

Let's start with the most likely... (DEP)

DEP is technology that helps prevent malicious code from running on a system, and is a part of WinXP SP2 and Win2K3 Server. By default, it is turned on, but typically will throw a prompt at you when it is activated.

Go to the Control Panel, click on the System icon, then go to the Advanced tab.
On the Advanced tab, select Performance Settings... the on the popup select DEP

There are two options here:
1: Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs
2: Turn on DEP for all programs

There is also an area for you to allow excetions if you choose option #2

You can either choose option #1, which protects your OS... or option #2 which protects ALL applications, but you must then allow for the exceptions of ALL the Wonderware executables (view.exe, wm.exe, alarmmgr.exe, hd.exe, spcpro.exe just to name some)

I say take what's behind door #1... in my humble opinion.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second possibility... the firewall (either the OS or Comodo) may be preventing the application from starting, although this typically isn't what firewalls do. Wonderware has on its Support website a utility that will insert port exceptions into the firewall, but again a firewall just blocks ports from communicating, not API's from executing.

As for anti-virus... again, I contend that an AVS should not prevent an API from executing, but we do publish a Technote that suggests which directories you should exempt from "real-time" file scanning. The files in this directory change frequently, and performance may be affected if everytime a file changes the AVS tries to scan it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are other things, unrelated to Firewall and AVS configuration that may prevent InTouch from executing, such as memory space allocation. The AVS may have been installed in the same memory location as InTouch, which affects HEAP allocation. If this is the case, then we have some issues... but this is only likely on much older Operating Systems.

You could try to re-install InTouch again, after the install of Comodo... and this might overwrite the location.

Sorry to bloviate... and I hope this helps. WW tech support can help you as well, and if you hit a brick wall I'll try to remember this forum, or you can find me on Wonderware's Support Forum as well.

Good Luck
