Hey guys
Somehow my computer has a System Antivirus.It seemed it got installed by itself and I can't figure how to remove it.
In addition,my task manager is said to have been disabled by my administrator.The problem is that I am the administrator.
Any solutions on how to remove this System Antivirus?

Thanks

Glad you solved the problem Smiley I assume you were using CAVS2? That's very old and comodo has stopped devolopment on it, CAVS3 is currently in BETA with CIS (Comodo Internet Security) Check back every now and then Wink the BETA version is great

Actually I was running the full CIS,but for some reason CIS didn't block System AV.

No idea if it is removed to be honest.I don't see any popups,nothing appears and my computer seems to be back to normal,but otherwise no idea how to check if it was removed
