thank u, that's extremely helpful. 

i am also thinking that i really need a ram upgrade.  256mb ram isn't really enough, and it could be a factor in the problem.  luckily, i haven't had the initialization problem the entire day.

FWIW, the problem on my computer hasn't recurred for several days.  I don't have a clue what I might have done to make it go away, nor do I know if it is gone permanently.

Downloaded and did a fresh install of CPF 2.3.6.81 especially after reading in the release history that

FIXED! CPF tray icon was showing wrong tooltip text

But alas it has made no difference this problem still persists on my XP Pro machine.

i'm having the same problem again on my machine as well.  running windows xp home edition sp2 IE7-RC1, Avast Home Edition.  i am guessing it's the same intermittent bug that was in the earlier versions.  i wish they would get it fixed once and for all.

is their any kind of solution yet for the slow initialization problem?  it may be minor, but it is also very annoying. 

other than that comodo is a good firewall, alot better than the zone labs products.  but i would very much like to see a fix for the slow initialization bug!  funny thing is, even though it says "comodo firewall is initializing.", it shows in the windows security center that the firewall has loaded!  any kind of fix would be appreciated.

Hey philbee,

CPF does have a modular architecture and you are protected before the desktop appears. They are looking into the slow initializatin issue, but it seems to be machine specific. My  Pc, for example, takes around 15 seconds longer to boot with  CPF enabled, compared to without.

Please bear with them on this. They are aware of the issue. It's just a matter of tracking it down.

Cheers,
Ewen :-)

okeedokee.  i'll be patient and see what happens.  i'm sure they'll find a solution eventually.

today i noticed what i think is a new comodo file in my root directory, "boot.ini.comodofirewall".  could this be a fix for the long initialization bug?  please let me know, since i haven't noticed this particular file b4.  thanks in advance.

That is not the reason for this bug as I have deleted it off my system and the bug persists.

Your welcome.

Had the same problem but right clicking on the avast icon > program settings> exclusions

browse to Program Files/Comodo directory to exclude the Comodo directory from scanning by avast seems to have corrected the problem.

does it correct the slow initialization problem with CPF?  if so, i'll try it.

sadly it didn't work on mine.  i'll just have to wait for another version i guess.  all i can do now is just close out and re-start the firewall after a cold boot, which is when this seems to occur most of the time for me.

It works everytime for me.. just make sure you are excluding the whole Comodo Directory.
You may also want to exclude any other trusted application directories that load on startup because Avast is scanning these on startup
