Hi everybody
with CAVS1.1beta I lost HAL.DLL and lots of other DLLs. >:(Is that mess fixed now??? (:AGY)
Greetings, Doctor T.

we could never replicate that issue.
however, what we have found out is that there is a malware that does this very thing of deleting or renaming all system dlls.

Hello everyone,

When will this BETA become available as the next official release ?

I am running the 1.x version of the product right now and it seems very slooooow as far as scans go.

Thanks :BNC

Hi Kong,

hopefully not much longer now, though the latest beta is very stable on the two systems I am testing it on. Scanning is much faster than with 1.1. Try the following post:

https://forums.comodo.com/index.php/topic,5104.0.html

:SMLR

On startup cavasm.exe still consumes high CPU (60-90%) for 4-6 minutes.

When the Add/Remove Programs applet (mshta.exe) is opened cavasm.exe goes headless, with the CPU running at 70-90%. The system then quickly becomes non-responsive. A system reset is required in order to regain control. It is only possible to use the Add/Remove Programs applet if CAVS on-access scanner is disabled.

Email scanning is still not usable on my system, cavemsrv.exe merely grabs all of the CPU when scanning and since nothing else is really possible with CAVS email scanning active, I was forced to disabled it.

The following quote is from another post (https://forums.comodo.com/index.php/topic,5159.0.html), but also applies to beta 2:

I have narrowed the problem down to the Comodo AntiVirus program. I can use LogMeIn with any other AV program with no problems.

CAV worked fine until after an update last week, then it started identifying LogMeIn as a virus. As mentioned previously, excluding the LogMeIn files did not work. So I download CAV 2 beta and the same problem exists, with one exception. I can now exclude the following "c:\program files\logmein" and “c:\windows\system32\lmiinit.dll” and all appears to work, for now.

I need to keep LogMeIn, and I really would like to keep using CAV. CAV seems to use less system resources than other AV products and after changing the security center setting, it’s easy for basic computer users to use. So I really hope that this can be fixed with an update to CAV. Having a basic (very basic) user change the windows security setting is hard enough sometimes, but to have them start excluding files from on the access scanner will lead them to question the quality and legitimacy of CAV.

CAV Beta 2 isn’t integrated into LaunchPad. Will it with the final release? And what’s the status of CAV being recognized by windows security center? Thanks for a great product.

Hi,

Comodo are phasing out Launchpad across all their products, due to user feedback. CAVS and CPF no longer have launchpad included in their download file, but Launchpad may become an optional download at a later date.

CAVS is currently under going testing at Microsoft to get a certification for security center to recognise it. However, this may happen around when CAVS become a stable release.

Thanks for the reply Mike.

Phasing out Launchpad is probably a good idea for now. I liked it because I have other Comodo products installed and it was a nice single interface to them all. But for users with just CAV installed, I did see some confusion. Getting Microsoft certified will be a good thing too.

Any idea on the LogMeIn problem? Everything was good until CAV updated last Thurs/Fri (4/5 Jan).

You’re welcome. :wink: It was really many thought it was a waste of resources especially with only one product installed. But, yes it is useful for more than one product which is why it may be back as an optional download.

About your LogMeIn problem I’ll read the post and reply there if I feel I may be of any help.

Mike
