The resident shield will react to all sort of things that happen in the background. Do you have an indexer indexing files on your computer? That will have any AV scan a lot.
2) cfp.exe all times opens C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCTF.dll
16:08:21 cfp.exe:3444 OPEN C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCTF.dll SUCCESS Options: Open Access: 00100020
again and again…
this file has only 240 kb, but it reads it all time…
I am not a programmer or developer so I cannot comment on this.

Question:
How hdd reads can be decreased???
Setting the AV to stateful is the only solution I can think of.
Great question Eric regarding indexing. Personally, I turn indexing off. Some say that is improper due to performance issues, but I do it for the very reason you stated Eric, it sure adds a lot of scanning, etc. and use of resources after indexing is done. I also adjusted “Prefetch” options in registry to just fetch boot files and this has tamed the “Superfetch” service. Performance issues have not really been noticed at least for me.
Just a thought its123, as Eric mentioned about the indexing…a few months ago when I stopped this service, made a big difference in background activity. Disk reads will be reduced if indexing is turned off, and also as Eric mentioned, adjusting AV scanner to stateful. I use ‘on access’, but that is my choice. In your case, Stateful may be best in addition to stopping indexing.
Also, here is some info. regarding the file you mentioned:
I don’t know, I reinstalled comodo to last version and I still get this message about MSCTF.dll, there is any solution? (I see threads dating as old as 5 years ago on this issue)
edit: I managed to “fix” this by a workaround adding it into hook exception of some sort, but it created more problems with other applications than I was willing to fix so in the meantime and until this bug gets sorted, I’ll be using Private Firewall, I hope Comodo gets back soon, because I like it.
