Comodo Internet Security 3.9, cmdguard.sys is the affected driver.
Description of the problem: BSOD on boot, sometimes a quiet crash where no BSOD is present. ive ran the crash dump through Windows debugging tools and it points to cmdguard.sys as the culprit.
Steps to reproduce? i just installed the most recent version of CIS. i also reinstalled with the same problems.
i dont have time to run gmer right now but im almost certain its not because of a rootkit. however ill run one later and ill update my post if i find one.
This is a confirmed conflict with Snoopfree, only solution is to uninstall one of the two.
Snoopfree assumes that all hooks are bad, and removes them causing CIS to BSOD.
If you run CIS 3.9 you no longer need the stand-alone Comodo Memory Firewall it’s build in CIS.
1.Windows Version/Bit and Service Packs - Win Vista 32bit SP 1
2.Your realtime Antivirus/version,Spyware remover/Version, other Security Software/Version - DrWeb for Windows ver 5.0.1.02160, CIS ver 3.9.95478.509
3.Affected Driver/Software and Version - dunno
4.Brief description of the problem After surfing the internet for a while (“a while” can be up to half an hour) the system hangs up for a second or two, then bsod apears immidiatley. Bsod never appeared when not connected to internet.
5.Steps to reproduce the bug (if applicable) - no particular steps. More often BSOD appears when uTorrent is running
6.Gmer report (download) Only for 32bit platforms - attached
Hi… Is this is a new issue specific to v3.9 only? Because i am being able to install v3.5 without any problem, with no need to disable SnoopFree. Incidentally, i am unable to install v3.9 even after disabling Snoopfree service from admin> services.
I was surprised to know that SnoopFree installs a driver “snopfree.sys” that is important enough to be loaded even in the safe mode. I thought it was only meant to be a software to prevent unauthorized screen access. Thats the only warning messages it ever gives.
Edit: As the incomaptibility is with v3.9 only, is there any fundamental difference between how v3.5 installs and how the newer version does?
1.Windows Vista SP1
2.AVG Free v8.5.339, Comodo Firewall v3.9.95478.509
3.See below.
4.everytime i try to launch my game via browser, it crashes and give me a BSOD.
the game is “ijjiGunZ” which uses nprotect. im guessing its conflicting with nprotect and not gunz itself because other online games work fine. i am on ffox3, my av is off, so is my firewall
this is what came on screen.

After uninstallation of CIS and removing inspect.sys everything was OK… For a short period…
BSOD problem reappeared after installing VirtualBox.
After some system examination and internet search I assumed that network adapter driver could be the problem (in device manager and Pcwizard it seemed to be Raltek rtl-8618)
. After updating the driver (in device manager it became Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) I xeperienced no problems. After reinstalling CIS I had no BSOD for about 3 hours. I tried to reproduce some steps that usually caused the system crash… No problems till now.
I will continue testing…
XP PRO x64 (fully updated)
IOBit Advanced SystemCare PRO (resident in memory)
G Data Internet Security (only antivirus on demand, firewall, AV,… all is disabled but processes are visible in the task)
Normally they do quite fast, maybe yours is already fixed for the next version… I’m not sure…
For the crash report, that will be because when it was build like that for version 3.0.x of CFP… and the underlying processes for submit suspicious files has crashed… so it can’t be used.
Install CIS 3.9.95478.909 was successfull, after restart came STOP c21a. In protected mode it
comes not, but CIS does not start. The diagnosis can not help. The same problem was in february
2009 with CIS 3.8.65951.477. The last good CIS was 3.5.57173.439.
Every restart, WER- or MINIDUMP-files will not be created.
Gmer report will be attached (but how to do?).
P.S.: I´ve uninstalled CIS 3.9.95478.909 and reinstalled without Defense+ in the last minutes and the result is: no BSOD! I think, Defense+ was the reason for BSOD.
CIS 3.9.95478.509 (Firewall only), Avast Home 4.8 (p2p shield disabled), NetLimiter 2.0.10.1 Pro (Firewall disabled)
tcpip.sys
I have patched version of tcpip.sys for increasing limit of half-open connections. I usually get BSOD after some time of working uTorrent or other p2p program (probably when limit exceeded). It points to tcpip.sys and sometimes writes “PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA” (but not always). WinDbg shows that problem “Probably caused by : cmdhlp.sys ( cmdhlp+190d )”
I’ve tried to change limit from 100 to 200 - same result.
