When does Comodo tell you the installation is corrupt? If it is when try to start cfp.exe, you should be able to just start the service first (another shortcut, to cmdagent.exe). If it is at boot, the misconfiguration is probably being detected by the kernel level drivers that load early in the boot. But Comodo uses so few resources without the GUI that there is no reason not to let it run in the background. Look at cmdagent.exe with task manager on your system-for me, currently using 1MB of memory and 0 gdi handles.
well i installed comodo ,disable the autorun with xp
and change the service to auto to manual
and when i run cpf.exe ,it doesn’t run cmdagent.exe
so cpf tell me that i have to fix cmdangent
Have you tried making a shortcut to cmdagent.exe and just double clicking it before you start cfp.exe? For size, are you looking at private memory or commit size? Without cfp.exe? Seems to use a bit more at idle under XP.
Taskmanager has selectable columns under “view”, and a process has dedicated private memory and then working and committed memory depending on what it is doing. When activity is low, the OS gives memory back to the pool. In any case, this is 1% or so of your memory. Did you try starting cmdagent first?
yes i start cmdagent for first
my xp is not in uk , so i haven’t private mem i mean is not called private memory
in the selectable columns i have on top on the left in order the first is “name image” 2"pid" 3"cpu sue" 4 “time cpu” 5" “utilization, availment memory” and others
i have checked on the 5 , on the left
but is stupid hat cfp.exe is not able to load or shut down the service
Under “view” on the top command bar in Task Manager, are there other selectable columns? I am running Vista, so don’t remember the XP details. But starting cmdagent.exe first works for you?
Don’t know how to shut it down again without a reboot once it is started, unless you go to D+/my protected files and unprotect it-and that compromises security. If it were easy to shut down, malware could do it easily also.
my last question
can i run only cpf.exe , and leave cmdagent.exe turned off ? does the firewall work too?
i don’t like the defend+ feature, is too much invasive, i use only the firewall+leak
